Another Mercury Cougar From Matchbox

I've always liked this American muscle car from the '60-es, it has got a very good shape. I have got one in my collection, so I decided to get another one to restore!

Last year I bought one at a fair, wich was in good condition, only there was a small crack on the windscreen, but luckily that was all. I painted her wild red, and the details, too! Her interior was originally red, it wouldn't fit well to the new, red colour, so I painted the interior white.

Although this car was not one of my favourites, when I saw it at a fair, I thought, I would not leave her there, I take home and restore! The parts were in fairly good condition, somebody previously tried to paint the chassis to red - with small success. So it was out of question that I must restore her!

What I really dislike are the exaggerated wheels, so I changed them at once. She got new colour: a lighter metallic blue. I painted the details, too.
