If you leave her standard, that's just fine. But if you make her yours? Well that's just great too.
I very much doubt that anyone here has an entirely factory car now though. The only reason to do so would be if you were going for concours. And I'm not even sure that's a thing with Cougars now.
Replaced my boot struts - the old ones really had given up completely, much less danger of getting whacked on the head now

Remind me, did you get a 3rd brake light mask off of Al?
Which tint spray did you guys use, and how many cans will i need?
Cheers
When i did mine i had one can of savage tint spray and only used about half of it. Remember though to also get a couple of cans of laquer.
Savage... that's the brand i used on my probe well over ten years ago, i couldn't remember the name of it though, cheers.
Edit: That stuff has gone up over the years! its over £20 a can on ebay now, might try the E-tech stuff for £8 instead....

WOW! I just looked. It has gone mad that stuff. I would be looking at less expensive than that, as good as the savage stuff is.
Today, after returning home from my mums, and parked DG in the cave, i noticed the RR tyre almost flat so off comes the wheel for a quick nail/screw etc inspection. Found nothing. Checked the valve, all seems ok. A full wet test and still nothing, no sign of a puncture , so after rechecking and refilling with some more of that air stuff it went back on the car and is now tucked away till i go and check again in the morning. Very strange indeed.

That is indeed weird. Could it be possible that someone let it down while you were at your mum's? Not suggesting that someone has a grudge, but kids and random neds can be spiteful like that for no reason.
My RR was going down and I thought it was a leaky bead (because of the problems I had with the lacquer) but it turned out that the valve core was very slowly leaking - like 1lb every 2 days... No test caught it.
This has to be No1 suspicion and if the tyre is ok in the morning, i'll go for a steady jaunt up the private road to check it but then again to err on the side of caution, i think i'll stick a new schrader in anyway.
It does feel more responsive on the throttle now, didnt get a chance to do a full test with the power yet the roads are pretty wet today
