What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

[kittylover]

Drove it 120 miles
Stopped at Rother Valley Services, a guy came over and had an admiring look, he had one years back and loved it.

Took mine out for a date with 2 other Cougars.

Fitted puddle lamps.

Crap photo but I hope you get the idea.

That. Is. Freaking. Awesome.

Your next task is to tell me here you got them so I can fit some myself - aiming them at an angle - and install a Cougar-face mask over them.

Chris, you can buy the door open puddle light kits off eBay with Ford logo's. Just replace the logo [emoji106] They're not too expensive.

 

[funwoody]

If you Google Cougar door lights, they come pre prepared.
I put a link on previously.

 

[elipton]

Thanks.

They are on the same timed circuit as the interior lights so come on when the central opening is activated.

That's ruddy nifty. I'll be completely re-doing my lights soon, so I'm tempted to try this too

I don't know if you remember, but I fittted Mondeo-style footwell courtesy lights to Tiger, and deliberately did it in such a way that I could easily fit other lights on that circuit.

Chris, I used puddle lamps from a Range Rover:





They are weatherproof, take a wedge-based bulb and the lenses are about 30mm square.

There is a 'How-To' on the way but you're half-way there if you've already got the power feed into the door.

Drop me a PM if you want a pair.

Thank you!

I may well do, but need to think my approach to it through first. I assume you have to chop into the wing mirror body to fit them?

[mmikey82]

Fitted a rubber mount on my exhaust , i thought it would just push on - but no the whole bloody thing had to come off.
I only did it to fix an annoying squeak and after 3 hours when it was all put back the squeak is still there ------------------- so i lit a fag and turned the radio up and hey presto no more squeak

 

[D1CKL]

Finally got round to fitting my 21mm rear ARB today. What a PITA trying to get the old one out and the new one in without dropping the tank.. Also machine wire brushed my sills and found a small hole in the nearside one. Getting it welded up on Friday.

 

[spacychick]

I opened the garage door and told the old boy his new engine will be here soon


......then shut said garage door and had a beer

 

[Scarborough]

started a bit of polishing today, first pass with compound

 

[Quicksilver]

Good work Steve.
