Anyone catch this?
http://www.caradvice.com.au/202041/f...c-partnership/ Hopefully some good gear will come out as a result of this - would love some new tail light assemblies/lenses. (apologies if a repost - couldn't find anything on a search)

This is new - we just "announced" it an hour or so ago. The Rare Spares crew are sending through some photos - hopefully soon - and we'll upload them to our FB page then.

It's good to hear Ford has become partnered with Rare Spares. I believe Holden is closely connected to them already based on the amount of GM parts at my nearby Rare Spares store, so it's good there will be more Ford parts there too.

Mmmmm rubbers. Certainly a sore spot with me considering the quality/design of the current Rare Spares weather strips!

Good news.
What will happen to everyone who has that "special no longer made" part that they thought they would get hundreds or thousands of dollars for? Other than that, good for the "X" series guys.

Pretty please, may we have a list of parts slated to be made? Has anything been made yet, or is it about to be made? Anything on ETA?

"Classic car enthusiasts will have access to authentic Ford badges, decals, wheel caps and trims, windows, door and boot seal rubbers, engine and cooling components, electrical components, lamps and lenses."
Nothing to suggest we'll be getting coupe quarter panels and the like. Question.. How does ford have the tooling for items that were manufactured elsewhere?

Its highly likely they have all the tooling math so as to be able to make tooling to reproduce a genuine panel

Perhaps.. But something doesn't sit right with me on this. Hopefully I'm wrong, as i would most probably be the first to spend my life savings as rear spares buying parts.
But last week 212 poor bastards are made redundant, new car sales have dropped, yet they want to reproduce parts they made 40+ years ago for, let's face it, a small market. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. Really hope I'm wrong.
