Hi All
My names Wayne, I live in Boston, Lincs and im very much a new member.
When I woke up Friday morning I never (ever) expected to be a Ford Cougar owner by the end of the day, but I was taking a customer back to his house (I work for Enterprise Rent A Car) and talk turned to why he had needed a hire car. Turns out he has a Cougar whose auto gearbox has gone kaputt. He said he was going to Ebay it but he just wanted rid asap. He said an amount and before I knew it, i'd brought it.
Its a V6 on a 99/T plate. It has 17" Fox racing alloys (with 2 month old Avons on the front), a Sony Xplod remote control stereo and everything else you would expect.
The fella I got it from was a teacher who had brought it when it was 6 months old. Its a typical not cared for car. The exterior is best described as shabby with a few parking dents and scrapes and the interior is finished in cloth and dog hair with a smell to match. It has a rust hole in one of the sills and the engine has an oil leak (which im sure is coming from the oil filter). But the engine sounds as sweet as a nut.
Not sure at this moment what im going to do with it. I may break it for spares or I may fix the gearbox and sort all the other problems. Does anyone have an auto gearbox going cheap??????
