Looks like you have a lot of work to do! Welcome to the site.

Is your 1995 an automatic or a manual transmission? Electronic or cable driven speedometer?


blu_fuz, the contour is automatic transmission v6 2.5, as for the speedometer cable I don't remember, but I think it was by cable

the idea is to change the transmission to manual
 
thanks for the personal reception! , it took me a long time to post again because I was very busy ... currently I already have the chassis wires restored ... and I'm just waiting for the engine to come back from repair, as it was stopped for many years and I had to make rectification because water came in in the combustion chamber and you hear corrosion, then the engine was opened and repaired again.


the idea of ​​this car is to convert the automatic transmission to manual. I already have the gearbox purchased (which I got from a Ford Mondeo that came with this engine to Brazil) and also the engine module


first I replaced the rear window because it was broken from a coconut that fell on it where it was on the owner (hahaha)

I don't know if I can post more on this topic, because I'm kind of lost on which forum I can post the project ... (administrator please, if you want you can move the topic)


the next step I took was to remove the engine and assess the condition of the engine, because as I said here, I had to refer it to a repair shop.

then I started the restoration of the chassis wires, because they also knit are damaged (not only the engine harness as the recall asks to change)
