Cougar 2 runner.
Hi all,
Just thought I would share this. I have done a few builds on here so this wont be a full build as not wanting to bore you all......  I have managed to get hold of a cougar 2 from a fellow oopler in America who kindly sold it me......  The chassis came with the normal scratches and grooves and wanted to sort this. I wanted it as a runner but wanted to sort the chassis along with full rebuild. I have had hydro-dipping and powder coating done both are and were stunning, but thought I would try this myself to see what would happen. If it was pants I wasn't really bothered as Its my racer..... So I trotted into the garage with a block of wood, wet and dry, primer, chrome glitter base coat and candy red. It took me 3-4 hrs a day over 3 days to get the finish and scratches out. Remember its a runner....  Then primer etc...... as above and the finish I think is good enough for the shelf. I will show pictures of the others bits along the way including the finished cougar 2. What you think lads/ladies............ CLICK TO ENLARGE !!

Looks great! Nice job Mark
Powder coat is good for a runner as it's pretty tough and won't chip/damage as easily as paint It's too nice to run, get an old chassis and let me get it coated for the runner

Hi Lads,
Cheers for the kind words. Really happy with how it turned out. I should of taken photos before I started, but to be fair I didn't expect it to turn out as it did. Chrissy :- As for bits YES YES YES I have some very NICE bits building up. I have, Alloy center transmission case with machined heat sink. What I believe to be is a Orange Cougar 2 WASP Belt. And some new in packet stuff.  Marko :- Yes YOU ARE ON MY LIST my little green ELF.....  Welshy :- Thank you for your comment.... Peaky :- Your rite it is about time....

How did you go on for finding the steering lever/bell cranks? I broke a bearing'd one on my team car and couldn't find one for love or money ended up having to c/bore a stock one.
