I'm looking for a couple body parts and was hoping someone might know where a good donor car is in Southern Ohio.
I need a laser red drivers fender and drivers door (with mirror) in REALLY NICE SHAPE if anyone knows where one is at a reasonable price please help me out.
Thanks.

Cougar's are hard, but they're becoming more common to find in the junk yards.
For my probe, I just used to call around junk yards from the phone book near me. Lame, but hey, better then driving and checking. I know Aaron was looking at a junkyard site, dunno what it was though.

I've looked on car-part for a bit and looks like the average price for a door is about 400 or so. I'm hoping to locate one via a pull-your own part junk yard. I saw one a few months ago, but went back and the car is gone already (CRUSHED :(). I'm sure I'll see one again, but not sure if I'm gonna wait or call LKQ and get one fast.
At this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the car yet, but have a few things up in the air and will decide in a week or so hopefully.

IF I have time to get up to pick-n-pull here soon I'll grab them for you. I need to go anyway. I'm pretty sure i'll be down there this weekend anyway. So I could drop it off or meet up w/e. That's IF, there's a cougar, let alone it being laser red.

That would be awesome. I could also drive up if you can't make it down. I have about 200 right now for the door and fender. I'll have more later, but need to find out if this is coming out of my pocket or not.

The website says 35 dollars for ext. body pieces (aka. fenders, hood, doors), but it says prices vary. I wouldn't expect it to be over 100 dollars w/ tax. That's well below 200. Andy would probalbly know better since I believe he frequents.

If it helps at all, Chris works fairly close to me, I could act as a man-in-the-middle for you too if you can't work anything out to meet directly.

there's one up here close to me (milford) called trester's used parts. i know they have a red cougar. they got like 4-5 cougars sitting around. i'm not too sure on the condition of the red one cuz it's been a while since i've been there. i'm sure u can piece together what u need from the cars that are there.
