Future Plans

[Josh125XR]

OK I'm just wondering whats everybodies future plans for their cougar for this year?
(Example)Aftermarket parts, Cosmetic, Interior, etc.
If the cougar stays I'm wanting to get ahold of Joey so we can fix up my front end with a mesh grille, I also want to drill the hole for the cold air extention but I Personal DON't Want to drill it myself because Its to close to the wiring to the fuse box. :(
So lets see whats everybodies plans are so maybe we can help each other out.

i plan to do nothing! eh, maybe just add more money into it but i doubt it. i love the coug, don't doubt me, but it's been so mistreated before me (from my chic) and i've had to put so much money to try and get it in "like new" condition without much luck.

i'll graduate in may so i'm really looking forward to get a good job and probably get me another car... i'm crossing my fingers that they'll bring out a new cougar by then... but that's just wishful thinking :(

oh wait, i do see new sidemarkers in my NEAR future

i was really close to doing an air suspension, but i ended up leasing a 3 bedroom house and need some money for that lol. I have some ground controls on the way though, and after i raise my front end up a couple inches, and fix all the cracks again, i'm getting the car totally repainted again. i finally decided on the color, its still a blue, but this one will stand out a lot more for sure. other than that, I can't afford to dump any more money into this car! I'm probably only gonna have it another year or so.

*edit* anyone interested in a set of intrax springs when i take mine off? $125 if you pick em up, $300 and i'll install em for you :)

i'll probably buy those springs from you brian.

my plans for this year are still the 3.0l, finally going to put on my fender flares and finish the molding job, shiny new paint, and new 18"rims and tires, oh and lower it. i have coilovers already but i might buy those springs too and make a decision from there.

Josh i can drill that hole for you

Hey that would be awesome! I attemted before to drill but I broke all my bits :( & then on the last bit when it broke my drill popped up & while the blade was still turning it cut some of the wrapping over the wires to the fuse box :eek: Thanks god no wires were cut :flushed:

[Funkboy316]

you can move the fuse box waaaay outta the way if you know how to do it. there is more than enough wire there to almost sit that thing on top of the duratec cover on the 2.5's so im sure your i4 probably even has more room

[nullxposur]

lol... damn josh, what's wrong with having "bobby" plans?

[Funkboy316]

nahhh ive done more than that in a years time before. its do-able if he puts his mind to it. its a good list.

one thing i've learned while working on this car is that if yer skered of it, it owns you. dont be afraid when modding, its actually very hard to break something.

Actually the reason I'm scared working on it is that everything is freakin' PLASTIC!!! & I've broken parts just by barely putting force & I'm a skinny MOFO.
Clutch Master Cylinder= $70 special order from Dealer :bs:
Fuel Pressure Regulator = $75 Special order as well. :bs:
Slave Cylinder Line= $50 POS :bs:

So thats why I don't like touching crap on Fords... Everything is a freakin' special order :banghead:

I bet you would like to get $540 worth of parts for $350 (Not including shipping)

I will probably let the hood go for $300 for texans and about $400 shipped for out of state people...
I will also let the fenders go for $125 (texans) and $150 out of state...

[Josh125XR]

^^^I'd like to see the pics of the Fenders when u got time.
