I still have no Cougar

ExDelayed · 06-01-2006, 04:01 AM

So I didnt get my parts from Bill as quick as I thought I would (my fault, it helps to order

) as I posted in that other thread forever ago. I had to be out of my free storage space by 05/01 so the car was taken to the paint shop on 04/29.

Its been more then a month now and still no Cougar.

I do stop by every now and then and it is making progress, just painfully slow progress. Every time the estimated completion time is a little further ahead.

Im anxious to get it back and even more anxious to get it off of my damn credit cards.

well im in the same boat i payed 700$ to get my car resprayed and bodywork to get done i took my car there on may 7 and two weeks later i get a call to pick up my car and thinking it was done but guess what not even started and they are moving the shop so now its june 1 adnd still waiting for them to get the new shop open to get it done i just hate it knowing that all the materials are paid for and the whole job is paid for and i have to wait almost a month and a half extra just to get a fresh look

What is going to be even worse is that I will get it home, and I might not even get to license it before I have to leave for work. Ill find out about that hopefully in the morning. It will get to sit in the garage for another month before I will even get to see it again. At least the paint will have time to cure in a protected environment.

Id take it but I dont trust it with a road trip with me only putting .25 miles on in my entire time of ownership. The Volvo will be more liveable with three adults and a bunch of ****. Id hate to be the rear passenger in the Cougar, especially since the smallest of us that are leaving is 5'11".

I didnt think of what would happen when the car got wetsanded without weatherstriping.

sucks, you need to get her finshed.

Too bad she will need to be untinted to pass legally. 30% on the fronts is illegal in UT.
