Bought a turbo cougar.

[Evil86lx]

Yep I did it. I bought that cougar XR7 from MHISSTC.

It's a medium canyon red 2.3t auto car with pretty much all of the option's except for leather.

I'll have photo's this weekend.

The plan is to have a fun quick daily driver with working a/c etc.

The plan.

5 lug swap with the mesh wheel's from a lincoln painted up in gold to match the saleen. I have SVO/Saleen brake's from my wrecked svo. Just need the wheels

5spd swap. gotta have OD for my long comutes. I have everything except for a clutch and 4cyl trans.

Turbo coupe hood and intercooler so I can use my strut bar and keep the a/c functional. I have the intercooler just need the hood.

LA2 swap. I have it so I might as well use it.

3inch exhaust.

Ranger roller. I have it.

More boost.

Drive it, enjoy it and scare the crap out of the ricer crowd with it.

This is going to be fun.

Awesome. I just got an '88 turbocoupe today that is really nice except for the fact it is smashed.

I will try to make the '86 SVO go with the T-bird parts.

um, will the turbo coupe hood fit the Cougar grille? the Turbo Coupe hood with the scoop is unique...

Nice Coug!!!..........8)


I just painted an 86 5.0 Cougar for my nephew. I bought it here in GA to take to him in Michigan. Bad thing is, I really came to like the car while driving it. :? Wish I could keep it and put my blown 331 combo in it. ;) :lol: But already promised him it though... :(

i used one very similar to that for my donor. i wish it had been in that good of shape, i woulda kept it instead of robbin it for the drivetrain...

Looks clean! I really like those XR7s.

I was at a car show last weekend and saw a 64 or so Falcon with a 2.3T stuffed in it. Car was super clean and well done. Guy wanted $15K for it 8O

[Evil86lx]
