This old lady was looking her age when we bought her a few weeks ago. But with a few new parts and some tlc she's back to her best. Brought back loads of memories whilst doing her up.

Just the pure joy of a carb old school ford. Paint work a mile deep. it was a real blast from the past. Put some serious man hours into her but the result was worth all the sweat. I even had the cougar gurn whilst driving her for MOT today which she passed without any advisories.
Sunburst xr3i is next for the treatment but unfortunatly not ours.

An old work colleague up in Lincoln (worked at Starglaze) used to have a silver one - which was totally mad - he had done all sorts of work under the bonnet and had a race clutch in it as well as a full Janspeed exhaust system. That thing was lightning quick and would give most boy racers a run for their money - I almost bought it - wish I had, but that was then and this is now.
I keep looking for an orion i ghia to do as a project. but it would have to be the mk1 but at the mo we are trying to clear some cars . The 2ltr 4x4 cougar is on ebay at the moment on a 10 day listing. But i would never sell my v6 fourby it's my baby.
