87 Cougar LS October 29, 2004, 11:37:30 AM My car started off life with one of those ugly fake convertible tops . I didn't take any pics of it when I first got it because I didn't want to remember my Cougar with something as dumb as that. First thing I did was to get the cloth top off, after that it was much easier on the eyes. I did all the various bodywork that it needed, put on a TC hood I found in the junkyard for $40 and lowered it with Ford Racing springs from summit part number FMS-M5300C. It had a real bad exhaust leak where the y-pipe connects to the manifold, so I put on a new y-pipe with only one cat and did dual exhaust with Dynomax Ultra-Flo lers. I did the taillight mod and got a set of sequencial lights :D (very cool) from Thunder Chicken. I ordered a set of pony rims and will post pics when I get them mounted and balanced. Quote Selected

Re: 87 Cougar LS Reply #2 – November 02, 2004, 11:56:50 AM New pics. Just got my pony rims on. Tires are Yokohama 225/50 R 16. I refinished the rims before the tires were mounted and I think they came out pretty good. Quote Selected

Re: 87 Cougar LS Reply #8 – November 02, 2004, 06:45:29 PM Not too often. Only if I back out of a very steep driveway or something like that. But the front is a completely different story. The chin spoiler hits almost everything and I can't make it over very many speed bumps without the k-member dragging. Quote Selected
