Oh look, it's a cougar (big pics)

I have went back and looked at the pictures of your car like 10 times. I am convinced, I have to have a 83-84 4 eyed cat now. Gona paint it up like that, and convert to five lug and use gold painted (center section) lsc lincoln wheels.

Wow. Wish I could come across one that nice. I had a chance to buy a set of wheels like that but black for 10 bucks. The tires were shot but the rims were nice. Still dont know why I didnt get them.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The interior looks great. Did the car happen to come with the dancing hula doll? I like it!

:ies: no, the hula girl was compliments of our friends at wal-mart.... the wife found it in the automotive section and HAD to have it!!  i figured putting it down there was the least damaging place for it :)

yeah, i think it comes with the package with the external cat lights (eric would know :))....  anyway, the button to turn them on is on the rear of the center console by the ash tray... it might also be the fact that it's a factory sunroof (do 83 cougars have dome lights?)

ok, these are the last pics..... i promise :)

anyway, the car came with the ornament, but the loop had broken, so i drilled a hole behind the cat ornament base, it came out underneath where the loop was, i cut the spring a little and the spring clip in half, then added a loop to the top of the hanger clip from one of the halves (that's what's sticking out the back of the ornament) and... blah, blah, blah.... ok i'll shut up:yuck:

thanks for looking :)

here's some updated pics..... i installed a jvc cd player for the wife for mothers day (man aren't you jealous) and installed the parts i got from CougarSE....  i installed new rear and door speakers and kept the dash 3 1/2 speakers.... i had to bypass the premium sound to get the front speakers to work, but it still sounds pretty good..... i also painted my rear window carpet with the paint i used for the kick panel and seatbelt cover.... i painted the glove box for symetry......the only paint i could find that i liked was a black metalic(which looks dark grey) Krylon Fussion for Plastics.... it seems to work well, just not as flat as i'd like, but it seems to match pretty well......  the before pics you can reference are on the 2nd post of page 4....

Did you figure out where that metal bracket went that i sent?  I know that when I unbolted the knee panel it fell out so I took it.
