What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

When I last refitted the liners I sealed all of the edges with lashings of silicon sealant.
Hopefully it'll stop the dirty water taking all the crud into the space. Having said that the wing lowers are both gone and will need either new wings or wings off and plating in the next few years.
Hope this isn't unwelcome, but it's a little bit different. Went down to Stratford in east London to replace lower control arms, outer CV joints (at the hub) and front brakes on a Tomcat which belongs to one of T's forum members. Proper MacPherson strut my friends - no wishbones here.
The car is an immaculate Stage II 1.8 VVC with all the Janspeed mods. Was great to help our distant cousins out...
To keep this on-topic, I drove Tiger over to the shops to buy ingredients for a cauliflower/broccoli cheese bake to go with our lamb saddle chops bought at the farm shop near Ardington.
Tiger needs front disks and pads and an offside front tyre, which can wait until next weekend.

Cars, tea, and girls
Was there bacon too?
Very much so!
Bacon, tea, coffee, doughnuts and brownies. I did say that they're our coupe cousins!
Might steal your reg plate mounting position. Save a lot of brake pad wear
I don't understand?
:edit: Wait, I get it now. You were talking about Ricky's car
...soo you fitted it then? How's the colour matched Ricky?Thanks to Alan & Mart for my latest addition

Its close mate but still a slight different shade... but thats probably my fault with the paint code
New head unit. Yes, yes, I am eventually going to go for a full-function double-DIN. But the Halfords/Sonichi unit that the previous owner fitted died completely and I needed something.
Keeping it as cheap as possible - this isn't a permanent fix - I paid £55 for a JVC KD-R481.
4x55W and supports pretty much every input. Suits my JBL 6x9s perfectly since I'm not a bass mechanic. And it's a damned-sight better than what I had before.

Doesn't look like it, but I suppose that's why it was so cheap.
I don't use that functionality anyway though so it's not a big deal. I stream my music from a USB stick and I don't use my phone while driving.
Looks good Chris
Despite lacking the video screen that the Sonichi one had, it's very pretty. I'm quite happy with it as a stop-gap until I get around to fitting a proper double-DIN since it's doing the job for a quarter of the price.
In the meantime I've got a separate 7" screen hooked up to the rear-view camera.
I would have rocked that in my car back in my days of single dins. Probably still would if they had one with bluetooth. I dont just use my phone for calls I use GPS alot. the little speaker on my phone has a hard time competing with exhausts

I actually like the look of that and beats my Sony Head Unit... sure thats only 50w output.... and i paid a little more than your £55, looks like a good buy Chris!
I see what you mean, and I would prefer the car to have all manner of integrated technology.
I suppose I could do that - like Manos did - but she's a product of her time just like I am. For the moment.
