Parts
-Best place is here. No lie. What emblems do you need? If I find any Ill grab them for you. If I was in your situation with an American car over there  would buy the parts car and strip it down of EVERYTHING. That way it wont be as hard to get parts.

-There is little aftermarket support (any place to buy parts) for our cars.

Agreed.  I used to see them up here on a regular basis until about 3 or 4 years ago....

Now I see the same 5 or 6 over and over with the very rare unknown car maybe 3 times a year...

Welcome aboard buddy you found the right and best place for parts and help, even here in America these cars are Endangered Species. Most guys here have parts laying around or know of a part there willing to part with, so good luck.
And what motor is it 3.8 or 5.0 you didn’t state.

Nice to see another 88 Cougar XR-7. I've never seen one with the smaller 3.8L & I didn't know you could get an XR-7 with a 3.8L. You'll find about any part you need for it here or on Ebay. I have JL speakers all around & 2 JL 12" W7's with a Kicker amp pushing them in the trunk. I decided to go with JL since they won the world championship sub competion a year or so ago. Good Luck with your project!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]1988 Cougar XR-7. My parents specially ordered this car with every option accept leather seats in 1988. I bought it from them in 1998 & since then have installed American Racing wheels (still have factory mag wheels in boxes), ceramic coated headers into dual Flowmaster 50 series lers with single into dual stainless tips, 4 row radiator, B&M Transpak, converted to Mass Air with cold air intake, etc..
