Cougar 2 runner.
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
Just thought I would share this. I have done a few builds on here so this wont be a full build as not wanting to bore you all......:lol: I have managed to get hold of a cougar 2 from a fellow oopler in America who kindly sold it me......:thumbsup: The chassis came with the normal scratches and grooves and wanted to sort this. I wanted it as a runner but wanted to sort the chassis along with full rebuild. I have had hydro-dipping and powder coating done both are and were stunning, but thought I would try this myself to see what would happen. If it was pants I wasn't really bothered as Its my racer.....:thumbsup: So I trotted into the garage with a block of wood, wet and dry, primer, chrome glitter base coat and candy red. It took me 3-4 hrs a day over 3 days to get the finish and scratches out. Remember its a runner....:wub Then primer etc...... as above and the finish I think is good enough for the shelf. I will show pictures of the others bits along the way including the finished cougar 2. What you think lads/ladies............ CLICK TO ENLARGE !! |
Looks good Mark, I'm hoping to get started on my cougar2 soon as well its about time you had another.
|
Looks stunning, great work.
|
Not really good enough for a runner, is it now Mark lol.
Look forward to the updates mate. Are you managing to find all the good bits again, or are you not going for a full on Works spec this time? |
Looks great! Nice job Mark
Powder coat is good for a runner as it's pretty tough and won't chip/damage as easily as paint It's too nice to run, get an old chassis and let me get it coated for the runner |
Hi Lads,
Cheers for the kind words. Really happy with how it turned out. I should of taken photos before I started, but to be fair I didn't expect it to turn out as it did. Chrissy :- As for bits YES YES YES I have some very NICE bits building up. I have, Alloy center transmission case with machined heat sink. What I believe to be is a Orange Cougar 2 WASP Belt. And some new in packet stuff.;) Marko :- Yes YOU ARE ON MY LIST my little green ELF.....:D Welshy :- Thank you for your comment....:thumbsup: Peaky :- Your rite it is about time....:thumbsup: |

Almost ready for the track.
Just shocks to rebuild, electrics to fit, wheels and tyres and body to paint.......:thumbsup: Click to enlarge..... |
Looking good Mark BUT I'm a bit disappointed you didn't break out your red nuts on this buddy :p
|
How did you go on for finding the steering lever/bell cranks? I broke a bearing'd one on my team car and couldn't find one for love or money ended up having to c/bore a stock one.
|
You should know I am not one for bling J,........:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol
I just went for new standard nuts on this as its a runner J. The ball raced steering was on another cougar I have which is going on the shelf, so just fitted them on this for now. The one thats going on the shelf will have coloured nuts J. But what colour ;) |
Ready for electrics !!
