This is the end of my 10th year with my '95 contour. I can't believe how much time has gone by and how much has happened. 8 years on CEG too.

Thanks to you guys, I have held onto the car over all these years and this has been a big part of my life.

I won't get into too much detail because it is hard to sum up 10 years in one post, but I went through some photos and scanned them that you guys have never seen before.

I will also add pics from my other computer when I can get to it.

Thank you, and enjoy!


Stock form:
soon



Some of my "mods", what was I thinking?!

Well in the almost 4 years i've been on here, I have seen you do a lot of that! The car has come a long way, especially from the riced-out muffler and your "I just skinned barney for this" interior! As always, great work, Joe.
