Schumacher Cougar 2 Works start !!!!!!!!!!1
 

So the Cougar 2 Works is totally stripped now. I have started with the gearbox showing diff,belt etc.... how it was removed from Cougar to it being totally cleaned up.

Click on pictures to enlarge.......:D

nice job Mark........do need new parts for it?

Good man! I'm really feeling the love for my favourite 2WD buggy of all time. Can't wait to see what you do on this one.

Hi BORMAC, I have to agree with you. There is something about the Cougar 2 in general that makes it special with it fans and probably the most followed schumacher IMO . The Cougar 2 WORKS on the other hand is something else and I have to say that the WORKS is my favorite as well.

Keep an eye on this build because I have something special coming for this build very special.....;)

Diff and Layshaft Build !!!!!!
 

So I started the build of the diff and layshaft. Diff has been completely cleaned and greased up. The layshaft has been polished up along with all spacers. The idler has also been removed of a greasy covering and now spotless.

So heres the start of the Cougar Works rebuild.....:D

Quick question ( maybe a stupid one ) but how do you know if the ball bearings need replacing or is it a case of take it apart clean it up and if they look ok re grease and put back together. I ask cus I have a mms diff set that needs doing.

Booooooo associated diff lube in a Schumacher build :woot::woot:

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH only on thrust race my brother.

Just out of curiosity do you need to shave the front wishbones slightly to fit the pin brace or is there a slightly longer hinge pin?

No Neil,

Its a kit you get and in the kit you get brace, longer hinge pins and E-clips. You dont shave anything matey.

Cleaning up !!!!!!!!
 

So why I have been waiting for the new parts to come for the Works (which they have :D) I started to clean up the shocks. First picture is how they were removed from buggy, Second picture how they are now. Fresh oil has been installed as well.

Forgot to mention, I will be adding pictures later of the new parts I have for the Cougar Works and its very special..........:D:D:D:D:D

C'mon stop this dangling a carrot crap some of us don't have all day to sit here waiting for you to build a car it only takes an hour for a Cougar:p:p
