Well say bye bye to the Coug :/ January 17, 2008, 02:03:12 AM As most of you know, my cougar got damaged by hail back in August. Of course this was right after I had body work and paint done. Anyway the point is... I am sick of fixing this Cougar and having something happen to it. Last time I put new headlights new exhaust and had it running right when I first bought it. Then, I hit a deer...$500 and a new front end laterit was good againgot it painted and body work donehail...I just think this one is cursed and its time to start on a clean slate.No worries though!I found a nice 86 XR7 thats in great shape and the dealer will take my coug as a trade. I know I have put well over $3,000 in the Cougar but I still don't have some key things that an XR7 does have.Posi RearFloor Shifternon-messed up bodybuttstuffogue tach and speedoCool Black Tail LightsNon ugly @ss Maroon or whatever interiorI may take off my turbines when I trade it just because I like turbines better than 10 holes.Like I said even though I am taking a loss in the engine exhaust trans work there are so many great gains too that I CANNOT pass up.I hope you guys understand!I should be getting it this weekend, so more info and possible pics as available.P.S. Probably Pulling the 4 cylinder right away and replacing it with a roller 5.0 so I might be able to sell some parts. That is still up in the air though as I may work on the 4 banger for a while Quote Selected

Well say bye bye to the Coug :/ Reply #5 – January 17, 2008, 08:52:14 AM You're going to end up liking the 4-cylinder. I wouldn't feel so bad for trading in your cougar for an xr7. I would even consider that an upgrade. Quote Selected
