My 87 Cougar July 20, 2005, 12:24:53 AM These are pics of my baby. It is nothing fancy, all stock. I guess an old lady had it before me, there are only 64,000 miles now, and there was only 56,000 when I got it. I absolutly love driving this car!!!! The exterior is perfect, and so is the interior, I still cant belive this car is 18 years old!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Selected

Re: My 87 Cougar Reply #10 – July 22, 2005, 11:19:10 PM Ya, it gets pretty good miles, but I think I need a tune-up and I bet it would get alot more. I havent gotten one since I got the car almost a year ago. Quote Selected
Re: My 87 Cougar Reply #11 – July 22, 2005, 11:27:57 PM Tune-up isn't too bad to do on those, if you have small arms.. heh. I had to wedge a brick in between the strut tower and the smog pump lines to be able to get my arms down in there to change the spark plugs and wires on the passenger side.. and even then my arms were screwed up for almost a month. Should have waited until I eliminated those lines. But then again, I am a misshapen freak with big arms and hands for my size. (I'm only barely 5' 9" and I can just about palm a basketball) I pay for it on days like today and the day I did the tuneup on my '86. Quote Selected
Re: My 87 Cougar Reply #12 – July 22, 2005, 11:32:32 PM Well I wont be doing the tune-up myself, I wish I knew how.... I dont know much about fixing cars except I can change a tire!!!!!!! I know that is really lame......lol Quote Selected
Re: My 87 Cougar Reply #13 – July 23, 2005, 12:15:57 AM The tune-up isn't hard to do, if you have a spark plug socket and maybe the socket to remove and replace the coil. (5.5mm, I think?) I spent less than $20 on a socket set from Wal-Mart that had most of the stuff I use on my car. (including two different spark plug sockets) The tricky parts are getting all the spark plugs in without cross-threading 'em, getting all the wires replaced, (think it's best to do them one wire at a time remove and replace so that you don't risk screwing up the firing order) and then replacing the cap and rotor. (again swapping the wires to the new rotor one at a time so as not to screw up the firing order) I'm sure any of these guys have done it dozens of times (not me, I've only done it maybe four times.. been away from car work for so long) and could tell ya what to do far better than I could. Plus I'm half-baked and listening to Pink Floyd, so I'm about useless as on a nun right now. :p Quote Selected
