I triied to send this to you by private message but you can't do file attachments that way, so here you go. It aint pretty! But you said you wanted the closure of "an open casket" so here she is, about to be buried.

one last pic. As you can see there isn't much left of her. I took both the door jams, along the front edge of the roof, the cowl vent cover, the rear liscence plate mounting area, both quarters, and all the bolt on body parts. I cut through both the door posts up by the so basicaly all I have to do to make it a complete convertible is cut through between the back windows.

I'd be more interested in knowing what those shiny things in the trunk are...

Soon enough I'll have pics of an '87 Turbo Coupe in that state, only I know a guy with a front end loader (who happens to live across the road from the cottage, where the car is being stripped, and who wants the shell for s metal), so it'll be much, much worse

The horror, the horror.

Looks like your Cougar in the background is coming along nicely though.

If you talk to Alex, you'll know that the cougar you see pictured there had a lot of hidden rust. Structural, dangerous, if-you-wrecked-it-it-would-collapse rust.

Well RJ, Lets see some of your other cougar. Looks like Baxo's car had a rotten core support as well as other parts.

You know it.. 2 years ago i took it up north when i went camping with my friends, had it locked, windows up, all that jazz and 3 days later when camping was done, I got in the car only to find out a mouse has made it its home. So that should give an idea of how bad the underside was.

But it looks like RJ taking everything BUT the underside.. he should have just got a new floor pan into my old 84 instead and would have saved himself a lot of work and unnecessary cutting.. But as he said.. that wasn't his first cougar, just mine.

That second pic, of the core support...the TC I've got makes that Cougar look like new.
Mine is all beat up...as far as things getting ugly when ya move em, wait till I move that TC when I get it stripped, I just found out this past weekend that the whole rear subframe area is rusty, almost as bad as the front...I don't see it holding up to being hoisted in the air with a Case 1370...
