Here are a few quick pics, just put brakes on it and replaced the bad tire. This was yellow86cougars old car. Got the smoking issue resolved also. Anyone know what rims these are? They look like mustang rims to me. Either way they gotta go.
Dan, Congrats again on your new purchase and yes I too say replace those rims. :yuck:
Gotta say, it was a steal at 600
If you wanna roll those rims down the street and see if they make it all the way to utah, I'll take them off your hands.
I agree that $600 was a steal, especially since the smoking issue was resolved by re-connecting the PCV hose and the brake pads came with the car. I think I won on this one.
Those are tempo rims, odd seeing as it had turbines on it in the for sale section.
I didnt think Tempo rims fit. They are same as Escort bolt pattern IIRC which is too small. Those are 4 banger Stang rims. Got a pair in the driveway.
I used to have pictures of a cougar rim on a tempo. One of the cars I bought had a bent rim. The extra one was a tempo wheel.
yep had a pair of those on my old 4 banger stanger. stang rims for sure.
XR-7 right? Looks like mine.
Yes its a XR7 its really a solid car. It has some surface rust on the lower door and a few spots on the pass side. I will be replacing the rt fender, it had some rust and when the old tire came apart (re-tread) it beat it up pretty good. I hope to have it all painted and done by this summer and then I will decide what to do with it.
From what I can find, Tempos did have the 4x 108 pattern. But they are also sayin Escorts did too. I tried Escort rims on my car, no go. bolt pattern was too small. I must of had post 90 rims.
Could always give it to me. Just throwing that out there.:hick:
Oh stop, yours is just fine. Just keep working on it. Trust me two projects is hard.
LOL, yeah I know. Thats half the reason I sold my truck and my SHO. When they started taking money that I wanted the Cougar to have it was out the door. Really though that was a great deal. Really wanted to buy it for my Dad but things took a bad twist and I couldnt. Cant wait to see what you have in store for it.
I had a set of rims that looked similar to that...does( or did) the center hubcap thats missing in your picture have a set of fake lugnuts? If so, those are T-bird rims. '83-'86.
No the center caps match the wheels in the ugly dept. They have the Ford logo in the middle. I actually hate the rim with the cap on and just dislike them with it off. That and they are 14" rims as well.
Very very very ugly stang 4banger wheels!! Ughck
I had a '84 XR 7 with those rims, they were standard equipment.
