My Mystique

[ukravit]

Here are pictures of the scoops on a contour hood. looks better on the Mystique hood. first done back in 2001 kept that way for about 7 years.

The creases on the mystique hood really work well with the scoops you put in.

Too cold to mess with hood right now. So I moved on to the next project. better brakes, changing drum to disc.
I gathered up all the parts, knuckles, new rotors, pads ,hoses, cables and some hardware. The most time consuming part was the parking brake cables.

almost finished

done

Finally got round to the hood. that and I fixed the front. Looks okay for a beater.

That is really turning out good. Amazing what a svt kit can do to a mystique :drool:.

went to change dome light bulb and the sunroof motor cover broke where it screws on the roof. I decided to make sure that cant happen again.

Cover looked like this

I took some tape and made a pattern for the attachment point

I transfered the tape to an old licence plate and cut it into a tab

I drilled a hole and secured the tab on the cover so it couldnt move

now it wont happen again and you cant see the repair

awesome progress! car looks mean!

the only thing i don't like is the green...but otherwise, very nice!

I think the Mystique front looks better, so I changed the front of my Contour. I still have all the pieces if I ever want to change it back.

i like the mystique front end on there looks awsome. then the silver with the black looks good too. got any pics of the whole car with that front end on it

Hmmmm, interesting. I always liked the Mystique's hood, because of the lines, made it look aggressive. BUT, I don't like the grille.

The fun never stops. I got a new Y-pipe set up from SVT Doood. ( new to me ). After a quick clean up and some paint I tossed it on. It revs a little easier and I should get a little better gas mileage.

You mean OCD?

 

[79mustang351w]

I think he meant A.D.D. because he jumps around the car on different projects so much.....like myself!! haha

 

[ukravit]

This is A.D.D.
"Often making careless mistakes when having to work on uninteresting or difficult projects
Often having difficulty keeping attention during work, or holding down a job for a significant amount of time
Often having difficulty concentrating on conversations
Having trouble finishing projects that have already been started
Often having difficulty organizing for the completion of tasks
Avoiding or delaying in starting projects that require a lot of thought
Often misplacing or having difficulty finding things at home or at work
Disorganized personal items (sometimes old and useless to the individual) causing excessive "clutter" (in the home, car, etc.)
Often distracted by activity or noise
Often having problems remembering appointments or obligations, or inconveniently changing plans on a regular basis"

OCD, there is a good chance. I focus on attention to detail and research. No point in doing things halfway, its one time and done. I am interested to see some of other peoples projects and how well they turned out.
