Those Rims suit the car for sure, you should put some Cougar Cat heads on the center caps instead.

[@xoulmannn]

I'd love to see a track build out of one of these things one day. These Mercury "Mustangs" have a special place in my heart. Nice video 👌

[@timl7947]

Wow wheels look great crazy how this car was in 10 times more worse condition so little ago this car turned out great keep up the great work

[@garymotley8196]

The new rims are awesome! So glad that you went with that finish on them! Everyone else does that boring black wheel thing.

[@timothymassina6138]

Looks good man! Your hard work is really showing! Keep it up!

[@operatorjake955]

I rolled my 1999 mercury Cougar when I was 16. 12 years ago. Learned auto body and fixed it up. Engine blew not to long after. Rest In Peace to my first ride.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Unfortunate :( I fixed this one up too every body panel on this car has either been replaced, or bondo'd haha

[@operatorjake955]

Vasily Custom Builds keep up the good work man. Pretty soon people are gonna be buying these cars up like 2V Gts.

[@VasilyBuilds]

haha thank you. if finances go good this year I might be building mine and turboing it

[@jdrs4214]

You have a very good tastes there young man!!! Those wheels are nice. Although I’m not a fan of that car, I hope she lasts you a very long time, if you like it that much. Best of luck!!! I used to own the previous generation of the Merc Cougar, and it’s big brother of that generation, the T-Bird. Both cars were VERY gimmicky, and the transmissions were just as bad and gimmicky. When I sold those two, I was kind enough to provide their new owners a page-long list on the gimmicks, and how to rub them the right way, if they were to keep driving them.

[@GRDray]

Looks awesome. Very nice. You should be proud of yourself.Keep up the good work Thanks for sharing.

[@Callie0715]

I’m getting a new, souped up, exhaust system tomorrow for my 2002 Merc Cougar, 5-speed, V6, 6CD player, Michelin tires, red, moonroof, leather seats............Can’t wait for tomorrow for new exhaust........VROOOOM. Did I forget to mention it’s in pristine condition, shiny red, kinda like yours. Peace

[@davidkopatz8270]

Like the rims!💯 Awesome paint job as well!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thank you!

[@JohnWheels]

Nice video! The wheels look great!

[@VasilyBuilds]

John Wheels thanks John

[@gregatron4528]

It looks great I dont think it needs to be lowered at all.

[@Iamyoppa]

One of the cleanest Cougars I’ve seen. Kind of looks like my 2008 Hyundai Tiburon, cool to see that you love your car! Keep it up man

[@VasilyBuilds]

YP A Thank you! I definitely see a big resemblance in the tibiron. Looks very close to the cougar body shape and all except the headlights and bumper. I also see a resemblance in the 06 Honda Accord it has the same exact tail lights and I see a resemblence in the mitshibishi eclipses. I don't know who coppied who but they all look like similar designs.

[@Iamyoppa]

I’d say they were mostly inspired by the eclipse since they’re one of the top contenders at that time. All in all they are all decent cars

[@Iamyoppa]

Vasily Custom Builds You have an Instagram?

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yes its called vasily1fab

[@waltsturvee4651]

XXR 17's needed center rings on my 99 Cougar. Highway speeds drove me crazy. Replaced w Sparco 17's no center ring necessary. 100 mph & running!

[@Chalz108]

Your car looks great!

[@VasilyBuilds]

[@AvoidingZombies]

Great video! And I was curious where you bought the ford emblems for the cougar?? I know they’re from overseas but seem hard to find.

[@VasilyBuilds]

I found em at a local junkyard. If you have an auto parts store maybe they sell

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

NOTIFICATION SQUAD..love the rims..really make the car pop!..gotta fix that exhaust tip up tighter to the bumber..its bugging me..lol..good show!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thanks brother!!! Yea my friends be telling me to do something about that too, Will fix it

[@JohnStax98]

Got here from Goonzquad

[@stayoutmyswamp9263]

I have a 99 cougar is a muffler delete okay to go with I was gonna switch to a hollow muffler ?

[@elbuscadordeagua]

Hi friend. Same car same colour. Nice wheels . My next upload will the wheels also XD

[@jhoncabrera8248]

Hermoso!!

[@dannymartinez8314]

Don't lower it you'll regret it later, I speak from experience, it was like that when it was bought and came with 18 wheels that looks just like the ones you have now, I later replaced the struts and Coil Springs back to factory, still looked low, won't bottom out, even if I try to.

[@elbuscadordeagua]

Other thing the mercury emblema i want to buy in spain. But i dont found here.. do you have any link ..

[@240Volts]

Nice. Are you going to save the other rims and tires for winter?

[@paulmoysa1787]

I was also thinking that

[@VasilyBuilds]

240 Volts good suggestion. Was thinking about putting them on Craigslist. But now you've changed my mind. These rims (4*108) also have a similar bolt pattern as on my dune buggy (4*110)...

[@testarossa7993]

@@VasilyBuilds Glad you won't be throwing them away. :)

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

Congratulations there mister man!! That that car is hopping!! Looking good! Got you a chick magnet now : D

[@warmachine830]

Its a pretty sick looking ride. Mad props lad.

[@paulmoysa1787]

Now dont curb your wheels lol. Nice intro keep up the sick videos!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Moysa Adventures will try lol

[@sargentsurge2024]

Looking at getting a set of these xxrs for my mercury cougar, did you use a centering ring? Center bore is 63.4mm but it says those xxrs are 73.1mm

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yeah, I got the center ring. I wish I would have actually done a 16" tall rim, instead of a 17. Don't go 17's it makes the rotors look tiny. I know they don't make them in a 4x108, but you can run a 0.59" thick 4x108 to 4x100 adapter for even more wheel choices

[@sargentsurge2024]

@@VasilyBuilds thanks man! Ill definitely have to look into that

What made you decide to mod a cougar? It's an interesting decision

[@davidstrauf4719]

Where did you get the rims?

[@Amy-wh3dt]

Saw them at the meet yesterday

[@VasilyBuilds]

Awesome! please remind me if I seen you that day. I talked to a lot of people so I forget

[@OliverMotorized]

Vasily have you noticed longer videos helping out your channel at all? i'm just curious as to maybe I should start making longer videos like 10+ mins... anyway nice ride!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Oliver Motorized EXCELLENT question!!! For me, I see average watch time gain as a big success factor. When I first started my channel, my avg Watch time was hovering around 30%. not too many people wanted to watch my videos to the end. Which is a loss in money, and subscribers might not hear your message at the end! Watch time is my biggest struggle. It kills my revenue. So I am always trying to improve. Not necessarily making my videos shorter, but increasing the action in the video. And providng something that is going to prevent the viewer from getting board. So for example if I am cutting a piece of steel, I will cut 90% of it out or speed up the clips. By doing that my watch time has slowly increased to around 50% which is good, And a 90% avg watch time for subscribers. Recently I had a video gain 10,000 views because I collabed with Goonzquad (400,000 subscribers). And that was quadruple of what I earn on a regular day. Which got me excited. But what sucks about my channel, is that out of my 3000 subscribers, 1000 want to see only cars, 1000 want to see only go karts, and the rest want to see only 2 strokes. So it is a little difficult for me. For you I would suggest experimentation. Make a short action packed video and make a long laid back video. Closely observe your analytics, revenue, and watch time to see what halps you the most. It is true that you earn more money with longer videos. But if half the people aren't even gonna watch the video long enough to playback the second or even the third ad, there is no point of making the video that long in the first place. For me it is always about balance. It is very difficult!! I go about it this way, if a video gains 500 views in a day, then it is a good video and I need to keep that up. Hope I was able to help!!! :D

[@OliverMotorized]

Vasily Custom Builds thanks for the reply! 50% seems really good for videos that are longer than ten mins. I think I’m gonna stick with making longer vids cuz I just started making them. Usually I only did around 5 or 6. But we’ll see! Thanks again

[@OliverMotorized]

what did your collaboration consist of?

[@VasilyBuilds]

Oliver Motorized I have a one where I just goof and drive my builds around, and one were I work on my car.

[@octaneaddiction1405]

great vidio bro what's the 1st song

[@VasilyBuilds]

First song is cash cash how to love remix Its copyrighted

[@1mexikaner]

It's perplexing to me that someone would actually buy tires and rims first and then waste so much time figuring out if they fit or not and then actually go to a tire shop to have them mounted...
