It was 60 and sunny so here's some new pics of the Cougar.

I've been meaning to get some decent pics with the carriage roof off for a while, and it was nice today so I took the Cougar to get some new pics.

It's a shame about this car with the roof damage and all the rust the carriage top caused. It's a pretty nice car besides that, and it's the year, color, and options I like.



























Here's the turbine wheels. I just have to find some rwl tires for them.

Yeah too bad about the damage.  Looks like it will make a great driver for you though.

Random question. Whats the pink thing by the master cylinder?  Thats the hole my clutch cable runs through, before that I think it was just a rubber plug.

Looks like a vacuum line runs down to it.  Mine was a rubber plug also.

The new wheels should help a bunch.....little tire shine wouldn't hurt either!

Yeah I saw the vac line running to it but was wondering what it was for.

Pink sticker looks like it's on the booster? Reman/aftermarket part?

The clutch cable hole is right near there though..lol

I think someone replaced the booster and master cylinder at some point. The pink sticker is on the vacuum line that runs to the brake booster.
