Default Corsair cosmetic parts advice

Gday,

I have a Ford Corsair UA GL 91' 4D sedan and i have recently broken a front bumper, grille, right headlamp and indicator and parker lense. I am also i need need a new left bull joint for the steering arm.
I'm from SA and a ford corsair is a very rare car and not many wreckers or dismentlers have the parts i need to fix my car. Are there any other cars which other parts will fit my car I am aware that this car is made by nissan and those parts fit this car, but not the cosmetics on a pintara :P I am really in need for any possible ways to really get these parts as soon as possible.

Thanking you in advance for your help

just had a look at both cars. would pintara front guards, head lights, indicators, bumpers and grill bolt up? bonnet looks similar.

hey mate. try this website

www.autoparts.com.au

It'll send your request for parts australia wide. Otherwise i'm pretty sure there is a wrecker in Warrnambool, Vic with a corsair or two, as i was chasing parts for my nans pintara earlier this year

Drive carefully! Remember, it's not only a car that can be recalled by it's maker.

cheers for your help on that, i sent a request off. I will look into the pintara option to see if the headlamp might fit, but the light look very different to my car.
Not too keen on interstating it for parts but i will keep it in mind. ty

the cars are essentially the same.....all front panels and lights will fit (ie, replace the lot with pintara parts)
bonnet and gaurds might even be the same between pintara/corsair
difference is headlights grille and front bumper
