Oh and nearly forgot new purple nuts........:thumbsup:

New Cougar 2 Works bits !!!!!!!!!!
 

Today I have had a few little bits come for the Cougar. These are new JCracing wheels Black and White dish and a new Cougar 2 body and wing set by steve_haskins on here. The first one was a excellent fit and quality and with the paint job really looked the part.

The paint scheme will be almost the same as the Team but with little changes.:D

New Cougar 2 Works Gear Cover !!!!!!!!!!!
 

So a few weeks back I put up a new thread asking for interest on a new Cougar 2 Works Gear Cover.

Well there wasn't any really :lol::lol: a part from 1 my brother Moozo.:thumbsup: Here are the first pictures of the new gear cover and must say perfect !!!!!!!!!!!

This will be fitted to my Works once fitted pictures of course...........:thumbsup:

Damn you!!!:D

Well you doing it again......very nice build on a great looking car, can't wait to see the finished product :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Is this why it takes you so long long to build them.........

You Lovin it Dan................:D

Moozo my brother glad you liking the build im lovin it............:D

Moozo my brother HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I have a story about that flaming grey ball of fluff !!!!!!!!!

Almost the finish !!!!!!!!!!!
 

The Cougar has now got the original turnbuckles fitted after being re-polished back to there standard colour/shine, also fitted are the original turnbuckle ends (black). The shocks are now fitted with the original springs and complete shocks are original that came with the cougar.The stand offs, balls and washers are all original.

The shock towers fitted are both original. The front was a little rough on the edges, so I have lightly rubbed down the edges to bring back a nice smooth edge.

I have the full original spring kit but went with full yellows all round.

The battery holder is new, but the battery strap is original.

Oh and of course new purple nuts.............:D

So next up is the new gear cover to fit, slipper assembly, wheels and tyres and then on to the paint of the body,wing and nose...........:thumbsup:

Gear cover and slipper assembly fitting.
 

Ok so on to the gear cover and I must say its a perfect fit. The slipper assembly is the original with the original spur gear 89t new screws and of course the LAST PURPLE NUT !!!!!!!!!! :D

I have decided not to paint the body, wing and nose on the Works but to leave them clear.

........:thumbsup:

Hot looking chassis indeed. Nice!

Thank you Optima4Ever...............:thumbsup:

Awesome work! :) The Cougar 2 Works was what tempted me back into racing in '94 and I raced it in '94/'95, then in 2000-ish and again in 2007 untill one of the rear wishbones finally wore through. Great to see the brand new chassis you have there with no scratch marks haha. Was possibly my favorite car i've ever owned and handles very similarly to a B4 imo.

Thanks Danny, I know what you mean. There is just something about the Cougar 2 Works. I cant put my finger on it. I think like so many there is just something about it.............:thumbsup:

Looks fantastic, great job! :thumbsup:

Thanks Mark...........:thumbsup:

I don't doubt the quality of his work - the JRX2 & Double X shells that he sells were from my donated originals :) & I have a box of various other shells ready to be painted (Cougar2, ProCat, FatCat, Meteor etc)

So how dose it look now ? Has it got wheels and is the shell on I wanna see pal :confused:

Hi Peaky,

I will fit body,wing,nose, wheels and tyres and put pics up Sunday matey. The body etc.... will be clear as im not painting this one.I have some new original aerodisc wheels front and rear with 2 row stud and mini spikes for the rear.

I will fit the new black JCracing wheels with the same tyres and put pics up with the black rims on as well..............:thumbsup:

Oooooooo I wanna see. Is there now a cougar shaped hole on the shelf now the other has gone :cry:

Cougar 2 Works FINAL PICTURES (FINISHED) !!!!!!!!!!!
 

So the Cougar 2 Works is finished. These are the last pictures of the rebuild/restore. As you can see I have fitted brand new aerodisc wheels and also black new JCracing wheels.

The body, wing, nose and wheels tyres are all fitted. I think it looks stunning now complete and really happy with the finish of the whole Cougar 2 Works.

Click pictures to enlarge !!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the end of the build so I hope you enjoy them.......... :thumbsup:

Very nice !

He's already sold it!

Thanks for the kind words guys,:thumbsup: (andiowebb) Its NOT SOLD !!!!!!!!! As it hasnt gone up for sale.:thumbdown:

Would have to be a BIG OFFER !!!! for me to sell this rare beast. Not only is the Cougar 2 Works rare, this is U453. A lot of Schumacher collectors and enthusiast did not even know this model exists, and to have box,instructions,paperwork and original spring kit to back it up......YEAH BABY.........:thumbsup:

Great looking final result.

Superb matey, and again cheers for the parts help, may be I should send you mine! but black wheel urgh! I'd stick with the aero disc's
