Hi Peaky.
You would like me to remind you why I bought a Cougar 2 Works to restore/rebuild no promblemo.
Ok I ran the Cougar 2 Team and Works back in 1991 and 1993 when both were released as stated. After seeing Chrissy C rebuild it brought back fond memories as stated, and I wanted both cars again. I put a wanted for both cars in the wanted section but got no replies. Then Chrissy C stated there was some on Ebay. I searched Ebay and got the Cougar 2 Team, which I did a thread on.
Now for the Cougar 2 Works, this was the daddy of the Cougar 2s so still wanted one. After searching Ebay WOW there was one. So i bid like everyone else and won it.
I was,
1. Very lucky to get a Works
2. Get spares with the Works as shown at start of this thread.
So once getting the Works I went to work replacing parts that were needed. This is what I intended on doing from the start. I was also very lucky to find the parts new in packet that I did.
The parts I have replaced have need to be replaced. The gearbox is original along with plates, internals, slipper, bumper,front top bracket, steering assembly and ballraced steering to name a few.
I know that there are guys/girls on here that are still looking for stuff to replace there plastics on there Cougar 2 Works. But like stated I have been very lucky to get all parts I needed so quickly.
Alot of the Cougar2 Works is still the original parts but this is what I thought it was about rebuilding or restoring buggies searching and finding new parts which is what I have done.
I have had alot of help from oople member's on here with parts who I have thanked along the way on each build.
Like yourself you are searching for parts for your new build and I for one have sold you a vintage part.
I dont not think you could buy all parts separate and build a Cougar Works from scratch, you would not get box,instructions and all paper work either. But I may be wrong.
Hope this helps you if there is anything else you need reminding of please post again..........
Oh and more photos coming of new parts for the Cougar 2 Works that turned up today............
