Looks great, looking forward to more pics.

Thanks guys
Better in the sunshine !



Went for a little test drive arround the neighborhood, I still need better brakes but the ride quality is awesome, much more stiff & responsive.
Exhaust is still too low for French speed bumps but I'll soon rebuild it... Really nice improvements so far.





Thanks

Thanks Ken, I don't see Muscle Cars very often, we have a monthly meeting close to my town, I'll maybe drive by & see what is there, should see nice cars.

Thanks Andrew,
You just need 4 to 8 weeks ship, 3 to 7K$ & an International Drivers Licence, then sell the Cougar to me if you don't want to pay & wait to get it back !
Maybe you should come with the GTO...

I think I can plan something like this for next year maybe... should be fun !

Thanks Rob,

Yap, pretty happy with the stance, perfect for EU roads. I was affraid it could be too low when I changed the rear shocks, & go from 14 to 17 can be tricky in the wheelwell.
Love the wheels too, it was a bet as I wanted to keep the old school look & have a full 17 tires choice, nice wheels & BS guys are great...
Love a lot your wheels too but it was too expensive @ my door.

Last one from the WE, now it's rainning all time...
