I knew the core support was going to need replaced, but after closer examination...and the fact the air bag is gone...I would say the NMSP has been in a mild front end collision sometime in her life. The fender aprons do not look too bad, but they do have some wrinkles in them.

My questions is how good of quality are the repo's of these pieces? These are the ones I have been looking at. The aprons are said to be exactly like OE. Anyone have any experience with these repos?

...or better yet anyone have any NOS pieces they might be willing to sell or know where to get them?

I just cut a nice core support and set of aprons off a rust free car last month and paid 100.00 for the entire piece. Sand blasted and primed, correctly spot welded onto the car and painted chassis black and they look like new. No need to spend the money on NOS replacements and I for sure would not buy aftermarket replacements. just my .02.

X2 I'd also rather use good used Ford parts rather than aftermarket. It sometimes hard to find a good core support though...

I would like to keep it original, but finding a rust free piece I think would be difficult here in Ohio. Jim that was a smoking deal to replace all that for $100. If you or Anthony have any contacts that have these piece please let me know. I am guessing it will be about a month before I need them, but of course if I can get them before then I will.

I live in the rust belt so any parts car not rotted will be hard to find...at least at a reasonable price.
