      Default Bought a turbo cougar.

      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!!!..........


      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. But already promised him it though...

      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
