Since I don't think I have ever posted pics here (Cougar owner)

Here are some of the pics of my cougar that were taken by Ken (Zman) of NECO last weekend at Can-Am....the car was washed, but then we hit some MASSIVE rain en route to the park for the BBQ, so it's got leafs and crap still stuck to it. And there was no tire shine

Enjoy...

Very nice! :drool:

 

[mystiquevltwin]

Very clean! Nicely modded! :drool:

 

[hamill]

Thanks guys.

The mod list is actually pretty long. I've tried to keep it clean without going overboard. I've allmost had the car 10 years now. I need some rear sway bar bushings BAD, but have had some difficulty finding them since I have the Aussie bar. Between the ST200 struts, Roush springs, ST200 rear strut brace, OMP front strut brace, and Aussie bar, it's a stiff ride.

EDIT: And if anyone was wondering, the SVT UIM and TB were hand polished by me, would I ever hand polish a powdercoated piece again.....no lol

Yeah, it was all done by hand. I was one of the first people to completely polish the UIM by hand on NECO....it was a project I HAD to commit to because I started with the SVT UIM. It's was 3-4 years ago that I did it.

Proof of progress lol...

Actually, they are pretty different. It depends on the light. Your car looks like it's DSG (my second favorite color on the cougar/contour). The spruce green has a tendancy to try and match whatever color the sky is at the moment. Some days it's very green, some days allmost gold, some days silver.

For example:

I assume you are talking about the fenders. It took me a year to get used to them. I got into a bit of a car accident with a transport truck on my way to Cougarfest 3 (maybe 4) years ago and my Z3 fenders were toast. Since I had a car show the following weekend, I bought whatever I could get my hands on the fastest and these were at fest. 2 days later they were on my car.

Automatic SVT Duratec huh? I was just thinking about that last night. I would be interested in driving one

 

[amarv12]

Absolutely gorgeous car man. :drool:

 

[hamill]

SVT minus the heads and cams - so basically no power gain.

Really sharp car there. For some reason some of the pics are just red X's for me though.

which ones are red X's? I erased my history and they are all still working for me? Most of them are attachments so you'd have to be logged in when viewing, with the exception of the first 5.

 

[cobrawannabe]

Wow

 

[Harrry]

Your car looks really good. I agree with ryan i'm not fond of the fenders.

But the car still looks sick. I wouldn't mind driving that thing around.

That UIM looks really good man!!!!! Me jealous!!!
