My Schumacher projects - Cougar 2k, CAT 98 Masami etc

[Saul Commer]

Thought I might start my own thread if allowed to just update with my little projects.

I have my CAT 98 which I am turning into a modern version of the CAT XLS Masami...

The bodyshell cutting has started and it is nearly there fit-wise :-)

Also have a Cougar 2000 which I bought when I was in school and I am going to restore by stripping every nut and bolt and rebuilding. Unless somebody makes a sensible offer for it ;-)

I will update with some more progress shortly!

Spent some time last night stripping down the cougar 2000 before I had to go to bed early due to a chest infection.

Discovered quite a lot of parts that should be replaced, including the lower chassis :-( The holes that the wishbone pivot screws go through are both broken so the chassis is useless really. Will either get a Fibrelyte replacement or watch ebay. not sure if I will have the GRP? or carbon yet.

Other option is to completely clean everything, replace the broken parts and throw it all in a Cougar 2000 box with instructions "for sale".

Currently it looks like this:

After many searches on google and looking through old race photos I have got my inspiration (mostly) for the Cougar 2000.

Full Carbon and a Fabiix conversion.

Not a large amount of progress!

I have had to get some carbon fibre parts manufactured slightly differently to suit the front end.

Some extra parts on their way also which I have wanted for a long time.

Brand new Visco drive coming, new Flex wing, SACS front end :-)

I have also been checking out belt drives (which may mean no visco fitted) to eliminate the lack of grip on the rear end when accelerating.

Just need to find the Laydown front wishbones which I cannot find anywhere...
