Vintage Cougar restoration

So, a little while back I picked up this early Schumacher Cougar that needed a little TLC.
Here are the before pictures:

And some after pictures:





Can't wait to run it.

I would like some vintage stickers to finish this off.
If anyone has any Reedy or Trinity stickers they are willing to part with please let me know.

Looks great. Tidy shell and nice nosram speedo. Wish they would bring back those old pin rear tyres.

I had one of those speedo's in my mardave

Very Nice Nigel - great Job!

The installation of the shorty LiPo looks super neat - I also like your choice in period electrics (I've got one of those old Nosrams somewhere!) - I would imagine the magnets in that old Trinity motor may need a re-zap after all these years?

Thanks for all the kind remarks guys.

Dan, is there something that can be done to rejuvenate old motor magnets?
Please expand, and let me know when you are planning on racing your Cougar at Silverstone too
