Cougar 2 BLACK & METALLIC BLUE CARBON FIBRE HYDRO DIPPED RESTORE !!
 
Hi all,

I have been working on the 2nd Cougar 2. I have stripped it and had the chassis and side plates hydro dipped in black and blue carbon fibre. I have also fitted new cougar 2 parts along the way.

I just have the turnbuckles to polish up and once fitted will post pictures of it tomorrow...:thumbsup:.

The Cougars I have are,

1. New built Cougar 2 WORKS with box and all paper work.
1. Cougar 2 WORKS being restored at the min.
1. Cougar 2 restored as a runner.
1. Cougar 2 hydro dipped blue and black restored.
1. Cougar 2 TEAM with box and paper work. Im building this up next after the Cougar 2 WORKS is finished. Its a complete new TEAM with alloy rollers,ballraced steering, slipper and always missing battery bar. Managed to get a new red chassis for it.
1. Cougar 2 broke up for bits.

Plus alot of new in packet WORKS and TEAM stuff.

So 6 in total........:wub:wub:wub

Would that be the chassis that sold this weekend on flea bay?

xfactor 24-01-2016 06:45 PM

It was off CATS on here. I also had the new in packet WORKS chassis off him over 2 years ago......:thumbsup:

NeilRalph77 24-01-2016 09:02 PM

£115 I think was the buy it now on the NIP team one.

xfactor 24-01-2016 09:13 PM

Thats the one. I didn't pay that though........

ralphee 24-01-2016 09:38 PM

Stunning Mark, well, they always are lol. You just doing the vintage scene now buddy? See your parting with all the TRF malarkey haha, did you ever race your RC10's?
Loving the Cougars though mate, oldies always did look the best!

xfactor 24-01-2016 09:43 PM

Hi matey,

Yes I ran the RC10 all last year over the Vega Gen 3. Yes parting with the TRF stuff.;)

So badly want a NIP chassis plate for my Works - I know where there are a few purple Works & red Cougar2 chassis Stateside - but the guy won't sell them :(

This is yet another quality build from the 'Lapper' Cougar2 production facility!
