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...... ![]() I have managed to get hold of a cougar 2 from a fellow oopler in America who kindly sold it me...... ![]() 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..... ![]() 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.... ![]() 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 !! |

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..... ![]() Welshy :- Thank you for your comment.... ![]() Peaky :- Your rite it is about time.... ![]() |

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.
