Blk 84 302... Pics.

Just thought i'd let people know that their bird/cougar is better than mine.  Plus it's an update.  Did a few things like change the wheels/seats within the last 4 months.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I honestly think it looks like ass, gloss paint is the same price as flat black.

Hey man, at least it's one color and no real bad rust (at least that I can see.)

I was thinking of rolling to CatJam with my car looking like that (minus the mud).  But I ran out of time to sand it down and blow some paint on it.

The reason it's not gloss finish is because i haven't done any body work.  And like a concept car, the paint is flat black to hide the shape of the car.  With my car the shape is dented.  You can't see dents as well with flat paint.

It's actually 5 lug.  minus a stud or two here and there.  And they're 15 inch rims to fit the disc brakes in the back.


And yes, i off road it often.  And it's excellent for jumping railroad tracks!  Yeehaw.
