Where to find pics of Done Up Cougars?

I'm trying to find some pictures of done up Cougars, specifically the '83 -'86 models.  I know there are tons of stock pics, but I want to know how nice you can make these look, not interested in the granny cars that the stockers tend to look like, although the rims usually cause this effect... :P
Anyone know of a good site?

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.

That  cowl is long since gone.. it was hand made.. a project started by 1 WLD BRD and passed on to me to smooth out. I had it on there for a few months then the cowl part started separating from the hood so rather then spending more time on it trying to fix it, I went back to the original hood.

BTW Maniac, what part of Ontario are you from?

Ahh cool, i'm from the Niagara Falls area.

Yeah I've pretty much stopped working on that GS now.. I may be putting it up for sale in August/September time frame. I Have shifted all of my focus over to the 85 XR7 that's in my sig.

Here's a shot of my 83 show car.

Been building it constantly for the last 3.5 years....




To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

]Ralph Waldo Emerson

here is my personal favorite. You can spin the tires all day long as long as you have a heavy left foot.
