Well as I posted I traded in the Cougar the other day, now I figure I'll list how I screwed em lol
List a problems on the Cougar:
1)Sunroof broken (well known track issue)
2)pass window went up but not down, cause fried wiring (cut and switched wires, then went down so the down wires were fried somewhere)
3)Wife's old radio installed, without wiring harness and not hooked up at all
4)non power seats and non air bag seats....car did come with them and leather
5)car was repainted a different color and wasn't the best paint job LOL
6)both rear calipers were seized
6) both rear pads were toast
7)both rear rotors were toast
8)ebrake cable was seized
9) abs sensor on pass front was cracked...causing the abs to go on whenever it wanted
10)abs fuse was pulled due to above issue
11)all 4 struts were blown
12)driver side stabilzer end link was broken
13)clutch was toast and 5th gear slipped alot
14)car slipped out of gear way too often
15)hollowed out cat and precats
16)car failed emissions on monday hehehe wonder why
17)upon turning the car off you could still see blue smoke coming out the tail pipes pretty bad so it was burning oil somewhere
18)very bad stumble at low rpm's, possible the "new and improved" fuel pump was going again as it was worse when turning
19)I beat the piss out of that car, and ran nitrous alot for a bit. I was constantly dragging the car.
20)temp guage was going above normal lately, I had previously had a burnt out rad temp switch...might have happened again
21)no wheel center caps, 15's on car...came with 16's.
There's more, but I can't remember it all at the moment.
