Lounge / The Cougar that started it all...
For me anyways, came home today!  Last year I sold my blue '85 5.0L Cougar, to a young guy I used to hang out with in town.  Well he gave me $750 for it, (way more then I thought it was worth at the time :rotf: ) So the guy takes all my decals off, and does a rattle can scallop flame job on it, :ypunch:  then within a month he not only ditched it and wrecked the front end of it. :smash:  But he also did some damage to the motor somehow?!?! :chairshot .  So I just closed the deal to buy it back last week for $250.  The best part is, he just put an 8.8" mustang diff in it with posi and 3.73's, and complete Stainless duals from front to back!  The plan is to FULLY restore it for next CJ, I have already started pulling the parts off the Stang to go into it. (5.0L, T5, 5 bolt conversion, bullit rims, and rear end with 4.10's) :headbang:

I have ALOT of body work to do as the pics will show.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Homemade Cowl hood for '91 Cougar pics
as most of you probably know, I like building my own hoods for my cougars instead of buying them.  It started with the Fox Cougar hoods and now I decided to try my touch on an MN12 hood.

Here as some pics of the progress so far.





This time I decided to try making it a functional scoop and just cut the hood and raised the center, instead of grafting on a whole nother chunk of sheet metal, on top of the stock hood.  This hood has also proven to be the strongest I have made so far, (no doubt due to welding the sides, rather then rivets, and fiberglass. :dunce: )  The wind knocked it over onto the cowl, on a concrete floor without any damage. :grinno:

So, opinion time.  What do you guys think?  Any other ideas?

Lounge / Will's black bullit rims...
Have been put too good use since I bought them....
 :brick:


:brick:
Ok....  maybe NOT good use, but at least I don't have to worry about curb rash or getting them scratched. :wtf:

Lounge / Bought a welder the other day...
So I decided to make my own exhaust system for the '91 Cat.
the plan is to cut the exhaust off just behind the dual cats and weld in two "glass paks" into a Y pipe and bolt up to the stock tail pipe section with no lers.

Here are the pics of the Y-pipe I made.



The pipe has a nice smooth transition to a single 2 1/4" outlet, which should flow better then the stock resonator, and hopefully sound better too. :evilgrin:

Engine Swapping / 5.0L--->5.0L HO swap (88 T bird)
Hi guys, I know this has been asked before but the search brought nothing up. :dunno:

I may be picking up a new toy this weekend, (88 5.0L T-bird with some mods.)  If I get this car I am planning to swap my '90 LX drivetrain into it.

Is it just plug and play? Like I think, (engine wiring and the computer? or do I have to re-pin the comp harness?)

Any help/info would be GREATLY appreciatied. :bowdown:

Thanks.
