Cougar 2 project
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ok guys here is the start of project number1 for me my original cougar.

I bought this car back in 1990 when they first came out and has raced in many forms in its life including a shotgun conversion for a while. It had the long front shock tower conversion before that, and ended as it is now with MMS gear box works rear arms and hubs, ball raced steering, version 1 slipper, proto type cougar 2 shock towers and front arms.

I also have a cougar 2 team car on its way from the UK atm.

I'm going to be building 2 buggies a shelfer and a runner. The shelter will be basically a new build to full works spec..... Only need roller or ball raced drive shafts to have it complete, and the runner will be a modded team car.

I'll also be building a nib bosscat works but that's another thread to come:thumbsup:

Look forward to you feedback and any hints suggestion etc

Awesome project Adrian. I do have one small suggestion......send it to me:thumbsup:
Where on earth did you find a NIB Bosscat works? I'm pretty sure Wayne had one but I don't know whatever happened to it.....or any of his other stuff for that matter.

fathead 23-04-2015 08:35 PM
Funny you should mention Waynes stuff, I have a decent lead on the stash.....


Woooooo can't wait to get my mitts on this Cougar to measure up! (and the Bosscat too)

I got lucky john, found it on Aussie eBay was missing the chassis battery straps and sticker set, I've got a fibrelyte chassis and battery straps just can't find the sticker set.......yet, I will be building it up as it's not a complete original set and the fact I got it so cheap helps too:D

I have original Cougar 2 decals left over from Cougar 2 Team and Cougar 2 Works re-store on here. I also have original TEKIN decals in Purple, White and Red. I also have a original Red OAKLEY wing decal. If any good give me a pm with a offer.:thumbsup:

Mark.

Retro RC 27-04-2015 06:37 PM
Thanks for the offer mark, I'm not to worried about sticker sets for the cougar the shelfer will probably just have a clear body anyway,

I'll be starting the rebuild this weekend all going well, the rest of my bits and pieces should be here this week:thumbsup:

Maskellator 27-04-2015 07:08 PM
Haha hey Retro, I was talking to Fathead the other day and wondered where the Cougar he was talking about was coming from! Long time no see buddy. You still racing?

Peakey 27-04-2015 07:27 PM
Am I on the wrong oOPle or has this been changed to oOPle.nz without me knowing :confused:

fathead 27-04-2015 08:18 PM
:woot::D



I may have a cougar project soon too.........

Lol we're like polish workers in the UK once we're here your stuffed. I have to laugh Justin I haven't talked to a lot of these guys in years.... Get onto an international forum and they all come out of the wood work:lol:

fathead 28-04-2015 10:38 AM
I blame it on the vintage nats :cool:

Retro RC 29-04-2015 10:17 AM
Pretty stoked I now have or have on their way all the parts I need for this project, it will be both a cougar 2 works shelfer and runner, so I get the best of both worlds something pretty to look at :drool:and something pretty to abuse:thumbsup:

Once I sort out getting pics from my iPhone onto here:blush: I'll post a few more up:D

Ok so the last of my bits and pieces turned up today so now it's just a matter of stripping everything down getting the works chassis off to be templated for something special and then the build and rebuild can begin 👍
