Nice looking car

Me too, it broke so I fitted the alloy one

[gainsy]

This is what i have got

[kaszal]

That's an excellent diff. Will you use in it your Cougar? Where's the pulley?

[gainsy]

Morning
It was in my Cougar but i have stripped it to sell for parts it did go like a rocket though

[gainsy]

Got these for sale as well, rear end is bosscat stuff apart from the shocks which are cougar

[Dazzler]

I've fitted myself a WASP front alloy transmission housing. Nice..

And a rear Alloy housing (not pictured)

Then just thought I'd chuck up a pic of the front shock tower mod. The cut needs a little tidying for aesthetics, but the principle is there (as promised Kaszal)

[gainsy]

Looking good mate
How's the slipper plan going?
Just bought another Cat a xls this time, needs lot's of work

[Dazzler]

Yes, I thought you had brought one.. Cheap I believe!

The slipper plan, well the details are all down on a post it note.. (I'll call that progress!)

I've had a few set backs with some of the simplest things I've done - supplier issues, so lost a bit of momentum. But I've got plenty of time to get it right.

And I'm still on the lookout for a Parma shell.. Anybody got one??

[gainsy]

Yeah £20
Needs a new shell/undertray/wing/wing mount etc etc
Just stripped it down, needs a very good clean up but the belts/pulleys all look ok & have managed to get all the parts i needed for it in a trade for a set of the wheels just need a male driveshaft end
Will stick some before after shots up when it's looking better & had some fibre lyte added to it

[john73]

Hi Gainsy

Is this the driveshaft part you need



If so will stick it in the envelope for you

Cheers

John

[gainsy]

That's the 1 John
Thank you very much

Thanks, could you explain for us the advantages of this mod?

[ChrisC]

Sweet car mate....very nicely done!

[kaszal]

Hey Dazzler, I've done something to my car that I think you'll recognise...

You likey?

[Dazzler]

Very tidy, didn't expect anything else to be honest..! have seen it done like that before, but not sure if the shocks will fit in both positions.. have you tried?

[kaszal]

Thanks. You gave me the idea!

I havn't tried both ways but I didn't want to cut the main uprights. If I want to use the inner holes I can just put the old spacer back.

I'm hoping it will go over the bumps slightly better. We'll see at Stotfold tomorrow!
