My 3rd tour yet another 1k car

[Nezerconezer]

Well theres finally a 3L in the car. Doesn't start yet as theres the fuel line addapter I still need.

Just a few things I need to work out. Vacume lines I've almost figgured all of em out yet. Throttle body I havn't even looked at yet either.

Does anything attach on the taurus rail, and lastly theres another plug wich doesn't seem to have a place to go anymore. I know where it goes on a 2.5 but not on the 3.0. And its not the IMRC cable.

Got it running today. Shame I don't have a video camera, I really wanted to record the start up.

I am amazed how well the car idled, sounded nearly stock. Drove it around the block, the engine ran fine no sputtering or anything.

The trans is kinda messed, I can't shift into 1-3-5 I'm guessing somthing is wrong with the shift cable. And the spec 3+ clutch is pissed, but I've driven worse. I can't wait to get this thing tuned and then registerd.

Still messing with it, cleaned up the engine bay, still a few hoses I'm not 100% happy with. Also have to do somthing about the pedal travel. Having a 1/2 inch of travel is not cool.

Still messing with this thing, having all kinds of fun. Decided to paint the stock mesh today, and wet sand the headlights. I'm not posting anything as of yet with those as I want to do a photo shoot soon.

But while I was down there I thought I'd take some pics. Someone recently started a thread on the underside of these cars and I relised I didn't have any.

Some nice rips from a tow truck. Oh well

I have and extra set of mystique tail lights and a reflector that I'm selling. I wanted to see what it would look like on a Tred, blech.

Also there was an early promo vid of the 98 SVT Contours on youtube for a while. I noticed it had mystique tail lamps, so I decided to see what that would look like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLzyrY2RWO8
These are pre 98 mystique tail lamps ther a little lighter then post 98 stique lights

Pre 98 on left post 98 on right (chrome has been painted)

You've done a great job getting that thing cleaned up. Good wrok.

Personification!

They are shaking hands.

Blood from the gunshot wound?

Mmmmm onion ring.....

I would say it's a tater tot.

This thing almost stabbed me in the eye, no idea what it goes to any thoughts?

Not an expert, but I'd say it's some sort of wire used for something electrical. Turn the key over and put your tongue on it to see if it's juiced. I always get my brother to do it for me.

 

[icysvt]

lmao touch it to your tongue

 

[Nezerconezer]

I would say it's a tater tot.

Yep it was a tot, I didn't take a good look at it when I took that pic. It was delicious.

Claybared the car to day and gave it a wax. Came out pretty nice.

I feel bad for 564 its getting so neglected.

I love my Torsen

A little before and after. Shame there are so many little cracks in the plastic.
