Default Cougar 2 BLACK & METALLIC BLUE CARBON FIBRE HYDRO DIPPED RESTORE !!

Hi all,

I have been working on the 2nd Cougar 2. I have stripped it and had the chassis and side plates hydro dipped in black and blue carbon fibre. I have also fitted new cougar 2 parts along the way.

I just have the turnbuckles to polish up and once fitted will post pictures of it tomorrow....

Should look smart interesting to see what the hydro dipping turns out like.

So badly want a NIP chassis plate for my Works - I know where there are a few purple Works & red Cougar2 chassis Stateside - but the guy won't sell them

This is yet another quality build from the 'Lapper' Cougar2 production facility!
