After over five years of being a member of CEG, I just thought I'd share a few recent pictures of my '00 SE Sport. With over 155K miles, it's been one heluva car. I bought it on 2/23/00 with 35 miles. I did most of its modifications (nothing major) when it was less than a year old (exhaust, Knauberized, debadged-except for Mondeo V6 emblem, Audi sidemarkers, foglight mod, removed orange reflector in headlight, SVT grill, pre-98 sails, Ford accessory rubber floor mats, Euro-Ford accessory door sill protectors from BAT, hood lifts, recontent clock, Mystique rear dome light, express-open sunroof, Focus 16" rims). The BAT kit has been on there since 9/02 (the car now sits 2 inches lower then it did pre-BAT kit).

Congrats on the long-lasting car. Looks well-taken care of. What kinds of repairs have you had to do on it?

That car looks great in every way! Clean, tastefully modded and nice stance. I like the little Mondeo V6 logo and especially the rims. Just goes to show that the "little things" mean alot  I'd just add 50% window tint

Thanks. Other than the normal items, not much. I replaced the heater fan resistor and the IAC in '02, the alternator in '04, and the fuel pump a month or so ago. The car seems to go through a set of tires every 25K miles or so (before and after the BAT kit). As far as the normal stuff, the front brakes/rotors have been changed twice, the rear brake shoes once, tranny fluid four times, oil/filter every 4K, spark plugs twice, and the battery once (the original was getting weaker and weaker, so I replaced it last week!). The CEL has been on intermittantly for over 55K miles (PO420), but hasn't affected the way it drives. All of the power accessories still work fine (knock on wood). I'm hoping to hit 200K in less than two years.
A few more pics:
Engine has never really been cleaned.
Sorry, driver's floor mat is a little dirty.
The obligatory odometer pic (taken last week).
