Cougar Donor Trip Next Weekend - WHOOT! -

[Crispy]

Hello..

A few of you are aware and in the know but I don't assume that all of you are. anyways..

I have purchased Alan's (putergeek) donor Cougar.. A bunch of us from Wisconsin are headed to the location of the car and we are going to strip the living snot outta it.

A large portion of the parts will be used for my upcoming ATX to MTX tranny swap and the rest will be parted out and sold. We aren't 100% sure on what parts are there yet as of this time but anything that I do not need is certainly up for purchase at the time of stripping. Due to several upcoming things scheduled I would love to re-coop a portion of my payment to Alan.. He gave me a great deal and in turn I will give you also a great deal.

Long story short is that we are arriving very late at Wendys house on Friday night (4/15) - crashing.. then waking up and heading directly to Alan's parents location where the car is (4/16) We are bringing an air compressor and air tools so we anticipate this going pretty well, but would love the extra hands from any volunteers.. Perhaps if it goes fast and without a hitch we can all go out to eat and hang somewhere before we leave to head back.

Mtang4Life has previous plans and needs to be back by 11pm on Saturday night.. and I promised that we could meet that deadline..

look forward to meeting new people and seeing the old familiar faces..... bring your checkbooks with you or have money in your paypal account if your interested in some parts. ;)

ohhhh if it has a WORKING sunroof put me down for it.

[LuckyGuns]

I would love to help out, but with my swing / graveyard shift I would be sleeping through the busy hours.

yeay - I get to work all night and sleep all day... Isn't that a song?

[J-Man]

what state is the car located in?

edit: damn hes in south dakota, to far for me

-justin

[Crispy]

Rock Rapids, IA 51246

All I know is that the car is a 01 I believe and the roof was transplanted to Alan's cougar a while back to repair his.. so I'm thinking that all roof parts are a no go.

[duratecpower]

Do you know if it has an aftermarket exhaust on it?

[NascarSigEp]

From what I can remember, the donor car has no roof. Are you going to be up there on Sunday?

[J-Man]

you guys have fun, take lot-o-pics!

crispy see if you can still get the brake sensor wire for me. thanks.

-justin

[Crispy]

we need to be back Saturday night Tim - sorry

I think Mike is going to help though which will help alot.. he rules!

[putergeek]

The car was an '00. There isn't any good body pieces left. I used them all for my cougar when I had it. But almost all the interior parts and pieces are there. Engine/tranny/interior pieces/suspension. And yes, the car in in Rock Rapids, IA. If you need/want the actually address, PM my or also Cripsy because she has it as well.

[NascarSigEp]

I wish. The dealership is going through some major changes and I was told that it wouldn't be a good career move to take a vacation in the next couple of months.

[Crispy]

thought you were losing your job anyways? :shrug:

[putergeek]

So crispy, you'll be selling parts this weekend or something a little more interesting??? :hitit:

[Crispy]

[Catwoman3700]

<----------The unofficial NECO *****???:confused:

[putergeek]

oh you know i'm up for that :beer:

[Crispy]

we aren't arriving til like midnight or 1am... so ummm... waffles sound great ;)

[Pyro81]

Hey!
I'm glad i saw this thread. I'm wondering if it's any at all possible that i could buy the wiring harness that plugs into the turn signal bulb socket on one of the headlights? It doesnt matter which headlight, they both should be the same. I really need it for a project and i've been searching for a wrecked cougar or something for a long time to get it. And since your completely gutting the car i doubt anybody will care if part of the wiring is missing.
I really hope you guys can help me out!
The first pic is of the wiring harness i need.

Ahhhh...brings back memories from when the Ohio NECO crew bought and stripped that roush car. That was some fun times, lol.

[Estiem]

DOH, dude, i JUSSSSSSSSSSST threw away my spare junked harnesses a couple weeks ago. JUST threw them away! they were from my roush. i had spare harnesses that we tapped for the wigwag system i had runnin. DOH!

put another part down on the list of pilfering!

[Crispy]

someone needs to start a list and write things down.. and no, I'm not talkin about myself.

[Giggle]

I'm just going to hang out here so if anyone wants to come on by feel free on friday night just let me know so I can give you my addy. I get off work around 5ish but that is about it. Give me a list of stuff to buy for friday night.

yummy waffles...

[Catwoman3700]

Wendy, I'll bring the waffle shiz. Anyone have food allergies?? Everyone like strawberries and blueberries? Bananas? Eh? Juice and stuff for the morning would be awesome. Dole Orange Peach Mango is da best!

Crispers~~Do you think I could nab the door lock buttons? Eric (silvercat2002) f-ed mine up when he put blue LED's in them and now they don't work...as in the locks dont lock or unlock the doors. Also I want the trunk release button if you can part with it. The LED on that one is spastic and it flickers and bugs the sh!t out of me. Pretty please??? :wiggle:

[nadthomas]

I hope you get a chance to see this. If the car has leather door inserts I need those. Both the front and back. Let me know.


Thanks,
Dan

[Crispy]

it's a 2000 so it does not have leather door inserts at all if the panels are there... Tankgirl asked about the switches last week before the trip was postponed.

Waffles sound great... just make sure your booty is up EARLY makin em otherwise you will have to deliver them to us out at the donor location while we are workin. :tongue:

[NascarSigEp]

Wow, looks like everyone is going to have a good time (in more ways than one). Just wish I could come. :(

[Crispy]

call in sick, trade shifts... or go in late... ;)

[Catwoman3700]

so how many waffles are we talkin here? I need an idea for the ingredients...
And how friggin early do I have to have my booty up?

[JAMallott]

i dont know if anyone has warned you yet, but parting out a car is a biatch. ive been in charge of selling the parts from the totaled cougar ohio neco baught, and it hasnt worked out as planned. i have over 75% of the parts left, and we are still in debt to a neco member $100 who put some money in to buy it. its a lot of work, so best of luck crispy.

[Giggle]

let's see 2 waffles each ( depends on how big these waffles are) maybe 3 per person. Oh bring pillows and blankets too.

[Catwoman3700]

How many peeps am I cookin for?

[NascarSigEp]

Remember about the whole "not a good career move" talk I had?

[Crispy]

well stop whinin about wanting to go then :tongue: apparently you got your priorities in line and you gotta do what you gotta do... just no bellyaching ya know? so shoooosh..

Giggler - you got it.. pillers and blankies... I will pass the word .. what time you need to go to work that morning?

CattyGrrrl - get your arse in the kitchen at about 8am at the latest... I'll set you an alarm and help (we should be at the site about 9am at the latest please)

JaMallot - yah, I know what you mean.. I'm sorta scared on this, not sure what is salvagable but we are only nabbing what I either need or think I can sell.. I'd like to recoup some cash off this.. but if not I still will be saving alot of money buy nabbing all these tranny parts I need for the ATX to MTX swap... whats going to kill me is the gas on this trip... 2 vehicles and a 18ft trailer.. (EEK)

3 waffles a piece? damn... oink oink... put me down for 1 perhaps 2 at the most... otherwise we can all just hit up a breakfast joint on the way - that way Heids can sleep in longer and not spend any cashola...

time to hook up the Coug's Sirius into the beater so we don't go insane on the trip. http://www.teamneco.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/roxor.gif

Hugs and Kisses...

[StangKiller]

Crispy

Make sure you get me the addy so I can mapquest how to get there.

Items I would like to call.

control arms
rear seats
entire rear suspension(mainly the connecting stuff) going to make aftermarket stuff.


Oh, I know people will not like hearing this, but I am going to be putting my car up for sale. I am going to be finishing some of the odd projects on it to get it back to cool driving condition, but it is going to be going byby. If anyone is interested let me know. It will come with many extras, including an engine.

[J-Man]

mike you suck...

whats the replacement?

-justin

[StangKiller]

A 26' Hawaiian Cruiser and a 2004 Harley V-Rod.

Sorry guys. I know it kinda sucks, but I will have you up to go cruising down at Table Rock.

I am just getting to the point if I do anymore to it I will never be able to sell it and I also need to realize I am not 22 anymore and I have to start looking at some hobbies my wife would like to get into.

You could take if off my hands Justin. I will give someone from the area a pretty good deal on my car considering all the stuff that has been done to it just in the last year.

Mike

id love to take the car off your hands but it is probably well out of my price range.

out of curiosity...what would you be asking?

-justin

[StangKiller]

I am asking 10k OBO. If you can get within a couple of thousands of that give me a ring
402-310-4588. Like I said, for the local club I will be nice with the price.

[J-Man]

man if its not sold by this summer id defenitely be interested.

-justin

[Crispy]

how much for ya to pull off the supercharger? :biggrin:

I'll send you the addy for the car site in a PM Mikey.

[Giggle]

Crispy~~ I know you will call along your way but have a safe trip to SD. :biggrin:

[Crispy]

yup... we'll call - you can call if you want as well... :)

we are still planning on leaving around 6pm tonight. see ya sooooon!

[Crispy]

BTW - there are 5 others coming with me tonight that will need floor/bed space ;)

[tnkgurl]

CatWoman: Sorry to gank the switches! I am planning on switching them to LED's though. If you want, when I get them all set up and fixed, we can swap? Just let me know what color LED's you want.

I'm so mad I don't live near you guys! Taking apart a Cougar would be so much fun! Best of luck!

[Catwoman3700]

Tnkgurl~ Yea that would be super sweet! I had blue before but as I dont know what Eric did to them...the drivers side door lock button doesnt lock and the trunk release flickers. A couple of them burned out too. So if you want to swap mine for your stock ones, I'd be down. Or if you wanted to switch yours to white or blue and then trade them for mine, that'd be cool. Let me know how you want to do it. :) Thanks!!

[tnkgurl]

Which ones do you need to have fixed and we'll swap, yours for blue.

[NascarSigEp]

Since Mike is selling his car, he has all of my blue switches from my coug. Maybe he'll swap you. :shrug:

[Catwoman3700]

Whoever wants to swap, I'm game...
I need the trunk release button, the drivers side door lock button, the drivers side left window roll down button, and the passenger side window roll down button. (so pretty much everything except the drivers side right window button and the rear defrost button on the dash.). Oh and if anyone wants to also trade the trip computer buttons (or whatever theyre called), mine's still stock green so I'd love the matching blue :)

Wisco peeps--> It was fun hangin out with everyone! Hopefully we can all get together sometime soon. Maybe I'll shoot up to Dells with Wing Ding whenever that is.

And may "2 Wicked" rest in peace....:rofl:

[J-Man]

howd everything go?

-justin

[Crispy]

went good... we were out of there in record time... only bad experience was when a portion of the car started on fire when we attempted to cut out the shifter cables with a torch....

the trailer is fully loaded with the parts... it was raining all the way home and last night so we just tarped it.. I might start workin on sorting it a bit today when I pull out the hatch for my glassing project.

[StangKiller]

The torch was my idea. Never believe the firewall flame retardent material is flame retardent. It was soaking wet and went up like a roman candle. I owe crispy some shifter cables out of the deal. We should all make a letter to ford about that. I just can't believe it went up in flames that quick. But everything else went really good.

Crispy, is it just clutchmasters and vortech you want me to call for you. It would be really helpful if I could get all the stats on your ride so I have a clue on what is really going on with it.

[J-Man]

sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. wish i could have gone.

-justin

[Estiem]

1. sunshine.
2. beersesses.

I second that. It would have been cool if you guys showed up way earlier so we could hang out more but I understand...and more sleep would have been better. A whole friggin 3 hours and then I had to get up and make waffles! hehe I'm glad they didn't turn out too sheitty though.

[Crispy]

waffles were good... I oinked and ate 2... I hit up that Pizza shack pretty good too.. :)

Mikey... I'll send you a word document of all my mods and attach a really nice picture for ya to either print out or forward on.. please let me know what addy you want it emailed to and please allow a decent size of spare space so it does not bounce back..

I already know how to get ahold of Kel... shes my work email buddy.. whoot! so I'll just send it to your work email, girl.

I'll work on getting all my info together tonight after work.. and yes Vortech and Clutch Masters and I'd be a happy happy girl.

thanks in advance.. :kiss:

[NascarSigEp]

It sounds like fun was had by all!

[Crispy]

yup.. too bad no one took pictures... "ol Wicked" was carried out to the pasture after Alan's Dad crushed it a bit.. Rest in Peace green beast, part of you shall live on in my car... :)

congrats your w00t pic happens to be a big bimmerforums.com banner. :banhim: heh.

looks like it's turned into a real smiley. so.. ignore ^^^
have a nice day.

[Crispy]

yah, hurray for the Bimmerforums... :rolleyes: also a big personal thanks to you for posting pictures of my car on there which resulted in 7+ pages of trash about my car and it being the riciest thing on the planet. :mad:

[NascarSigEp]

I never said anything bad about your car. I was using it to show the mirrors, that's it. Guess it's rag on Tim day today, thanks. (goes into troll mode)

[Estiem]

oooh oooh. lets see dis thread. rice rice rice! hahahaha

[Crispy]

I haven't seen the thread myself... just got wind that my car is a laughing spectacle on there to everyone.. I never expected everyone to like it but to an "elite group of snobs" you should have expected the outcome - I'd like to see what pictures you posted as well.. Honestly I gotta love the staff at TheSpeedShop and keepin tabs on their work. :thumbsup:

[NascarSigEp]

Here is the link. I'll let it tell the story. Link. (http://bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342347&page=1&pp=25)

[Crispy]

great now I'm registered to a useless board - like I said earlier you should have known how they would have reacted... its common sense and in my opinion nothing on my car is rice anymore.. last year was a different story. They make it sound like I own a riced out Civic or something.

[NascarSigEp]

I posted one picture of a car that I like and idolize. Then when the sheit started to hit the fan I defended you. I don't see why I'm being crucified. I've noticed a "ban Tim movement" has started here lately. I honestly thought of this place and this chapter to be more than this...

[Crispy]

there you going over dramatizing stuff again.. argh.

thanks for liking the car but you should have realized that the majority of that demographic are rich elite snobs... they have no idea what are current hot trends on the show scene nor probably open up a tuner mag that doesn't have the word "bimmer" in the title. I've seen enough Euro rice out there posted on websites to know that their little nitche isn't safe from the tuners of the world. Some people are happy with a stock OEM vehicle.. others build what they own for other reasons - it's not like my car gets more than 1000 miles on the speedo a year.. its a hobby not a mode of transportation.

[NascarSigEp]

It struck a nerve when the cougar was getting bashed over there and it really torqued me off when I was criticized here for defending it and your car.

[Crispy]

understood... I just think you should have known not to post it there in the first place... :tongue:

[StangKiller]

Let's just drop it. Please

Here is my addy for Crispy mkleffner@hotmail.com. I have quite a bit of space, so it should take it all.

[J-Man]

jeez i leave to go to work and what do i find when i return....midwest neco drama.:tongue:

:grouphug:

[Crispy]

thanks Mike... expect a present in your mailbox later today.

[Crispy]

currently about 1/2 done with my proposal for you to forward on... still anticipating getting it 100% compete and sent tonight yet.

[Crispy]

ok, almost done... just waiting on my logo.. you WILL have my proposal in complete form tomorrow - if you want me to send the file to Kinko's I can as well and pay for a few to be printed out so you can pass em out.. (if you have one in the area)

[Estiem]

dude, send me a copy! :P i can print dat stuffs. i'm teh marketing printing mastah!

[Crispy]

will do mang... your printer at work is GOD!

[StangKiller]

If you can send me a few copies few snail mail I could really use them to get the ball going.

[Crispy]

you got it Mikey... thanks again for taking the bull by the horns on this... :)

BTW -- just plugged in the speedo cluster from the donor Coug... 37k on the dial... not too shabby!! I think its safe to say that my old motor will be parted out and this one kept incase something happens or I find new project that it can go into.
