97 Cougar 30th anniversary

[Kidd-7]

I'm picking up a 97 Cougar 30th anniversary edition this week. Here's the lowdown: 77K miles very clean inside and out; 4.6L V8; all power leather interior and a tape deck. I need the drivers seat reupholstered; the pass door hangs low, but I can see no damage to the hinges; the drivers door handle is busted; having a hard time finding 1. There is a rubbing sound from the pass side front end when steering and possible a worn bearing. I'm going to change the fluids; oil, tranny, coolant, fix those previously stated and probably a tune up; replace the head unit, speakers & possibly and amp w/ subs. Anyone have experience with these? Any ideas on were to find the door handle? Ford dealer states its discontinued and no dice from any local bone yard. Its going to be my wife's daily driver. Thanks.
