Reassembled the entire back end with the Dream Team.
Tiger is no longer like driving a 1960s Buick.

Yes, we did. The car came apart without a fight, even the caliper carrier bolts let go without protest (this is so much easier to do with the subframe on the deck), though they were replaced with some shiny-shiny from Mart.
I've done nothing to my Cougar today.
I had one of them 'sod it' moments though.
What I did was turn a five minute drive from the father-in-laws, into a 40 mile detour as I had V6 withdrawal symptoms.
No radio.
Just the engine to listen to.

After quite a few weeks of sanding and filling and sanding and filling and priming and wet and drying, I have finally taken my body kit, spoiler and No Limits grill to the paint-shop. All together with the new wing, my bonnet getting re-sprayed to get rid of all the stone chips and the body kit, it is going to cost me 500 quid.
Well I am getting the front and rear bumpers back today along with the No Limits grill. The guy only has a small paint shop and does not have enough room to do it all at once. Get the side skirts and spoiler tomorrow, then , next week he is doing the new wing and my bonnet. I'll finally get the Visteon scoop the same shade as the bonnet.

Today I got a few things done. Made sure all the wiring around the amp was done properly, so bought ring connectors to tidy it up. Finally got some car mat clips. I also got two pairs of LED rings so I spliced a pair on to test them. They're white, despite how they appear on the image - and I'm very excited to fit them properly!
Well done fitting the rings, i know what sort of job it is. I must have done three or four sets over the years and i still have a spare set of C2 lights to get done yet. When i did the C1 lights though, i fitted all three rings to each light unit.

Had a bit of a poke around ready for MOT. Couldn't resist a quick trip round the estate - a month's been a long time with no Cougar action

Why does this sound so wrong?
I've seen some snaps of that actually. I trawled the forum pretty intensely to see whether I liked the look! I absolutely did, though I wasn't sure about the indicator ring - so I'm leaving that for the time being.
A thought had occurred to me today. What if I put a ring in the taillight sidelight boob against the plastic? Perhaps LED rings would make decent replacements for bulbs? *chin stroke chin stroke*
"ringing" the tail lights is another one i contemplated but never got around to it. I imagine it would look good.
If you take the more, er, modern meaning, it's been a fair while!
Both types are good by me though!
Just a bit of polishing done before work still need more but pleased with the results so far
