You would like me to remind you why I bought a Cougar 2 Works to restore/rebuild no promblemo. Ok I ran the Cougar 2 Team and Works back in 1991 and 1993 when both were released as stated. After seeing Chrissy C rebuild it brought back fond memories as stated, and I wanted both cars again. I put a wanted for both cars in the wanted section but got no replies. Then Chrissy C stated there was some on Ebay. I searched Ebay and got the Cougar 2 Team, which I did a thread on. Now for the Cougar 2 Works, this was the daddy of the Cougar 2s so still wanted one. After searching Ebay WOW there was one. So i bid like everyone else and won it. I was, 1. Very lucky to get a Works 2. Get spares with the Works as shown at start of this thread. So once getting the Works I went to work replacing parts that were needed. This is what I intended on doing from the start. I was also very lucky to find the parts new in packet that I did. The parts I have replaced have need to be replaced. The gearbox is original along with plates, internals, slipper, bumper,front top bracket, steering assembly and ballraced steering to name a few. I know that there are guys/girls on here that are still looking for stuff to replace there plastics on there Cougar 2 Works. But like stated I have been very lucky to get all parts I needed so quickly. Alot of the Cougar2 Works is still the original parts but this is what I thought it was about rebuilding or restoring buggies searching and finding new parts which is what I have done. I have had alot of help from oople member's on here with parts who I have thanked along the way on each build. Like yourself you are searching for parts for your new build and I for one have sold you a vintage part. I dont not think you could buy all parts separate and build a Cougar Works from scratch, you would not get box,instructions and all paper work either. But I may be wrong. Hope this helps you if there is anything else you need reminding of please post again.......... Oh and more photos coming of new parts for the Cougar 2 Works that turned up today............

New 2wd twin mod with original hubs,castor blocks and steering arms.
So been building up the new 2wd twin track steering mod. This is 1 of the mods we used back in the day. This was to stop the float and wobble of the front wheels. After running the Cougars for a while the wheels would generate play. As mentioned in a previous post, the other mod that people did was to fit castor blocks,axles,steering arms,bearings and associated RC10 wheels all parts from the RC10.
But here we have the Schumacher Twin Track Bearing Mod.........
