Welp Claude, I made it home without any major problems. It did have a problem... I think the car got too hot and it leaned out and wouldnt run unless it has my foot on the gas or some shiznit.... BUt i tromped it and the problem went away!

you bought it!!!
sweet
Man.. I have NO IDEA WHY.. but i had a freakin' Hunch it was going to be you!
this kitty deffinatly needs a goooood bath. and the AC clutch fixed :D
sweet!!
I take it this replaced the Cavi as the DD?
uh, i sped that black pos to get this car :D
Glad you made it home ok.. now how much did it cost in gas?
Very nice kitty me like
That car was babied. Claude drives like a girl! Definitely a good deal though.
is that.... an... OHIO plate?!!!!
Well, I filled it at the gas station by the dealership.... that was 40$ and i made it 186 miles on a little over 1/4 of a tank.
And it will continue to be babied... i already have a fox that doesnt run up to par.
temporarily... Its soon to have a Indiana plate on it, Probably later today.
But yeah, This car is a perfect example of what mercury could give us for luxury. Thats what I intend the car for.... LUXURY. It will get a new stereo and 4 pioneer speakers and maybe a 200w amp and 1 sub... factory looking thats it. Get the air and the passenger winder fixed:hick: then its just gas tires and oil from there. and later down the road a paintjob.
Doesn't do to bad on the highway.
Now I can devote time and money to my other car ;)
88 cougar SE ftw!..... jk
Try again ;)
i'm just giving you shiznit because everything is in ohio. i drove from tampa, florida to ft. wayne once to pick up an svo. i was suprised to see how CLEAN ft. wayne was.
how long ago? and was this SVO blue?
this was probably about 4 years ago. no, it was black.
was about to say, there was a light blue one running around.
:bowdown: "congrats" on your new cat !!!!!!!!!!!;)
So Clayton you haven't found anymore condoms stuffed anywhere have you.. hahahahahaha
no, but i drove home in the rain from work and got pissed on :(
The sunroof DOES leak. and it likes the rain. Im still so used to no get up and go.... and yeah i set it sideways a couple times...
heh.. When you open it, it doesn't go closed easily. I had the touch for it, but that is something you must learn grasshopper.... Actually you have to push the back of it while you close it. I never had it leak on me.
good to know! lol
it just hit 90k tonight =[ the bird hit 120k last week =[
theyr growing up so fast =[
:grinno: clayton are you trying to take ride on the wild side :cougarsmily:
Oh yeah.
Edit- If you call riding on the wild side getting a foamy bath at the carwash.... then you are correct sir!
that sunroof leaks like no other! and i had it sealed tight. and the water came in through the door.... (i think that was my bad.. )
I got a 7$ shower.
Youll get used to it. My red bird did the same thing.
Mine doesn't... I don't have a hole in my roof;)
Mike, your car doesnt count! :P
:shakehead clayton don't for get your scuba gear when it rains or you :cool might just get wet. :cougarsmily: :cougarsmily:
heh. Yeah, I intend to have this all fixed. It may take me a bit but its gonna be cherry when im done.
just grow yourself a money tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where can I get the right stuff to grow me some $100 an $50 trees? Let me know I'm all ears? It!
out of your atm.... hahahaha
that's at-the-market!!!!
clayton, is your cougar a g/s or l/s and do the coachlamps work just wondering.
Still haven't got the touch yet do you? LoL I never had it leak on me.
Its a LS and no the coaches dont seem to work.
It farkin foamed on me lol
Claude do you push foreward on the glass? cause its leakin from the front.
I am, while on the quest to making this car -near perfect, going to get the other allignment thing on the sunroof glass fixed... seeing how it doesnt exist :D
lol.. I can't really say what I did.. I just wiggled it back and forth and pushed on it... the passenger coach works.. the driver doesn't.
meh, im getting the one broken peice fixed after the window gear and shiznit.
it was worth 600$
:cougarsmily: keep pluging away, eventualy you'll get it fixed." just have patience young grasshopper"

Now, The story behind this is... My friends dad had a car dolly Me and Thunderbus had to borrow to s a couple cars. And on that adventure we saw this scoop in his garage. And thunderbus told the guy that he wanted it for a Kz 750 that thunderbus's dad had. The guy said if he could get that bike for 300$ he'd give him the scoop. Well we had told him about it before, and he really wanted it. And low and behold I had to tell him that his dad didnt want to sell the bike anymore. He got pissed and said no scoop for thunderbus. Later that night he asked me if I wanted it.... I said I't be nice, and he told me I could have it....BUT if it ended up on any of thunderbus's cars... he'd kill meh. sooooooo. here it is (not mounted) But it will be when the body work gets done.
AND!

Enjoy!
:cool: clayton, now you will need to flip a coin everyday to see which car gets to be driven.:banana:
and it will be the cat, the bird unfortunatly has succome to a rod bearing. Time for HO and a t5 swap in the bird.
Lookin good! I dont know about the scoop being that far back on the hood though. It maked the front end look reeeeallly long. Thats just my opinion. I need to get my Cat running right, nice to see another 5.0 CFI
Looking good too bad about the bird but nothing like a little transplant surgery
Dude that sucks (sorta you get a HO out of it though:D ). Didn't you just rebuild the engine about a year ago?
yeah he did but he put the wrong size bearings in it. :hick:
Yeah move the scoop out further on the hood. That is the same part number off mine. Mine was of a '70 Mustang with a 351 in it.
Yeah, Im deffinatly going to be building my 331 up after I get the HO 5speed conversion done. Im like the freakin 302 PIMP of fort wayne. I have 6 or 7 almost complete motors.
'69 boss eh? Awesome. I MIGHT just have to make this functional. Especially with my future plans :D
:birdsmily: clayton, just when things were looking up to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, no fair!,
Let's get back to the original subject of this thread. I wanted to buy that car that BlackJack bought. Claude and I played PM-tag about it several times just after he offered it for sale many months ago. Last I heard he was keeping it until another car was ready, and after that, no replies to my PM's. No fair! I would go straight to the For Sale section every time I opened the page to see if he re-listed it. Of course, my window of opportunity when it comes to $$ comes and goes like the wind, but man, at the time I had the dough and that was the car I wanted. So now somebody has to come up with another decent '83-'86 Cougar within a reasonable distance and in good shape.
Really, congratulations on the car, but just to make me feel better, I hope you cook for awhile without A/C in this lovely "warm" weather.
Fordman3
A/C is fixed :D
And thanks man. its a great car But it still has its quirks.

^ I gots those in my car! Why only read deck and dash, no doors?
it doesnt need door speakers.it sounds good now other than my Dual radio, soon to be replaced with a pioneer
:headbang: clayton- play those tunes loud and proud :evilgrin:
I'll have to show you the speakers I have to choose from for my dash. I need another fox, I want a builder. Hm, Clarion or Rockford Fosgate, so many choices. Lookin good though dude.
Thanks guys. the tunes do play loud and proud.
The Cdplayer on the radio blows... I need to replace my dual with a pioneer when i get a decent couple of paychecks
When I get sub happy im either going with a Volfenhag 10" with a mono amp. or 2 rockford 8's with a decent 1000 watt amp.
