Is this allowed? Arseaboutface... new bodies on old cars?

Fibreglass 'Trucky' body.


Aluminium 'Lotus 7 -ish style.

Right that makes sense Choco- (though it's a bit of a 'klutzy' solution compared with other pretty sophisticated Schui engineering solutions eh?) Yes Retro... as I said it's very much a bitsa! Made from all sorts of miscellaneous parts left over from 2 Procat and 2 Cougar restos plus a fair bit of f...

Love the conversion to the top front wishbones, -excellent, I might try that as I have one side that's chopped out the ball housing totally.
(That outer ball fitting- Not Schumacher's best moment eh?)

Well it's coming together (how nice to be building a Schui again!) I had in stock (HTF did that happen!?) a correct later front trans casing so with that now fitted I can now adjust the belt tension. Bitsa of course, -homemade carbon/Kevlar chassis plates, fabricated alloy rear diff housing plates a...

Stung into FOMOS (fear of missing out Schui) having just sold my 2 Procats, I've started to resurrect the partscat I put aside years ago. (The bits left over from the restos with a fabricated carbon/kevlar chassis and fabricated rear trans casing and plates). It has the earlier front trans housing w...

Thanks mate that's a very thorough rundown of it's provenance.
A bit of a mongrel then, though 'Metisse' -sounds much nicer doesn't it!

Going back over my old posts, it seems it might be a 'Shotgun'
That seem right?

One of these is a standard 'original' Cougar. I bought the other one (with the fat wheels) -and it was advertised as a Cougar -it needed plenty of parts and it was very rough, but there are a few variations between it and my original Cougar. I seem to remember someone (was it you Alex?) telling me i...

Nice project. That looks quite Cougar-ish.
(Apart from the body that is).

Sounds like a Soft-Start programmed in the ESC ? Often used for aircraft folding props.

Tha's a beauty!
Looks like the device I use to burn out old gummed up 2-stroke exhausts with.

Oooh you're such a tease Dinglem... The car ain't bad either!

That's a Plan mate...

Here's the Shotgun/Cougar 'project' pretty close to finished (rivet counters may pick a few non-original screws of course). An exceedingly large dollop of thanks to Alex who generously came up with some missing parts for me, and also to nephew Sean in Washington DC who was kind enough to send the sh...
