Well heres the story and lots of pics. I got the car from a friend last summer(06) and it was not in the best of shape to say the least. My friend had just used it as a beater to get from here to there, didnt care about it one way or another really. Well he got a new escape and was trying to sell the cougar, no one was giving him the asking price but he was still paying insurance on it so he needed it gone, so he gave it to me and I kept it off the road for 2 months.
Anyway I got it and it looked like this:
it had the ugly chrome moldings, one which was missing, the header panel was non existing the head lights were siliconed to the bumper, and the fluids were all terrible. So then progress started and here is some pics along the way:
my one of a kind thundercats grill with red leds:
6000k True HID's now 8000k after accident:
Red Switches(no more green):
5% tint on rear, 5% over 20 on 1/4 glass, and 20% on the doors:
Sound deadening by fatmat, since taken the sub has been changed to infinity:
Just detailed:
Then it was down hill =(
Some progress:
(had to cut the dash apart and use another to repair it from the airbags)
Final product as it is driven today:
All the work on the car was done by me, except the rad support was pulled out at a body shop where they also put it on the frame machine. I hope you enjoyed all the pics, I didnt include all my stereo system pics ill save those for another day lol.
