Your SE looks great. Nice wheels. Do you have any suspension mods?

*gasp* are those... DRUM BRAKES???

I call mine the beast too, mainly because it's the same color as a Milwaukee's "beast" ice can...

 

[conbon]

I call mine the Conturd...no explanation needed. Here's my freshly polished turd, spent about 5 hours on labor day vaccuming, detailing, washing, and waxing the whole car. And yes blu, I'm still rocking your pre-98 hubcaps...for now:

Thanks, Connor

 

[blu_fuz]

Looks pretty clean. I still like the pre98 hubcaps .

Updated previous post also ^^^^^^^

Not sure why this '99 "sport" has drum brakes in the rear. They work good so I'm not going to change them to disc. Super rusty drum covers too :blackeye:.

 

[KAOS_3.0]

it's ok, my "sport" has a zetec dash, no spoiler, no side skirts, and came with 14" hubcaps...

I didn't even know these came with drum brakes. other trims besides sport got disks right?

I'm still trying to decide if the dealer just tossed a sport sticker on there or not.

the zetec dash makes me seriously wonder about a lot of things on this car. good thing I've replaced all the mechanical parts.....

 

[Aaron88]

What the heck is a Zetec dash?

You mean a black-faced gage cluster with only a speedometer and no tach?

 

[KAOS_3.0]

indeed sir, no tach

duratecs came with a tach, zetecs didnt. why they would make the engine the determiner for tach or no tach instead of the gearbox is beyond me, but my rangers were the same way.

Joe, that spraypaint work is A+++++++!:shocked:
