Hi guys,
I'm Jim - a one time V6 owner, and briefly a member here, back when I was too young, stupid and naive. I killed that cat, something I still beat myself up for....however I have now acquired a very well looked after V6 X-pack with 62k on the clock; she's had an oil change every 5k and is (or rather was) fully original, even down to the '99 Cougar badged carpet mats.
This time I will be mostly looking after the car.
I'm based in Shropshire not too far from Telford and/or Shrewsbury and am looking forward to getting involved so if I can help anyone anytime don't be shy and let me know.
Anyway, modifications I have already undertaken are: crystal side repeaters, short-shift gear stick, meshed grille and lower wing, debadged rear with Mercury badge added, V6 badges under side repeaters, shaded rear lights/3rd brake light. And a damn good service.
Mods upcoming in the next fortnight (that means I've actually paid for/got them coming as opposed to a wish-list) ; C2 leather interior, C2 dash, dials, steering wheel, IMRC LED in dash , C2 headlights, ST200 airbox, bellows, MAF housing and K&N panel filter and a new air freshener.
I've also acquired a set of 18" split-rim 15 spokes and Mondy Mk3 front brake calipers. I'm planning to rebuild the entire suspension setup; has anyone fitted the BAT Euro handling kit at all? I had that in mind along with new wishbones, actually new everything bar the knuckles which can just have a good clean up and a paint!
Beyond that it's body kits, engine work and paintjobs....but we'll see.
Greetings to one and all....nice to be here.
