Not sure if I mentioned it but.. March 08, 2014, 09:32:51 PM I got rid of the 85 at the end of January. Back in a Ranger. It's a 87 reg cab 2.3 5 speed manual 2wd. It's solid, but it does need a LOT of work, I want to eventually put a 2.3 turbo into it. Quote Selected
Not sure if I mentioned it but.. Reply #2 – March 08, 2014, 10:09:40 PM It's a spoogey lil thing, 3.45 gears if I'm not mistaken, dog on the highway though :( I know it's not a Fox, but it was pretty closely related to the Fox platform. Quote Selected

Yeah, the Cougar was fun, but I live in a complex withouh a garage, and that thing deserved a garage. And honestly, I was never a fan of the CFI from the get go.Quote from: jcassity;430305oddly that steering wheel looks like the 83-84 coug/bird Yeah, the ubiquitous Ford wheel of the time I guess, lol. The steering column, and all the switches, etc, is the same too!! Quote Selected
