My New T-Red

I used to see 3 bond svt contours and 2 other random labeled svts back in 1998 caged up behind roush racing buildings here in livonia. Which was cool...cause they also had the 302 ranger racing them down the street. But anyways...stories for another time..i would hate to get banned over them.

I remember seeing
1 orange red
3 yellow
1 white

Across the street they had 4 contour full body frames sitting in the yead doing absolutely nothing. It seemed ford handed them over for roush to do testing on the bodies before producing the bond cars. All the bodies were white in color.

We should have done a build up blog. The guy that had it totally lied about the car and it's state of repair. I just kept getting angrier as repair progressed. I just went to town on the car yesterday and wasn't in the mood to stop for pics. Verified the cars do have headers and a deepened oil pan which was hella cool. We're basically taking everything apart and putting it back together to make sure things are done right.
 
Well that blows! Do you think it will be picture worthy before the calendar cutoff? I really want to see that thing in there.
 
Probably not IMO. The paint is so faded from the AZ sun. I guess some evening pics could be taken to hide some of the defects.
 
There is a lot of wear and tear in it though. The paint is fadded in spots while in other spots it looks fresh. I'd definitly replace the ripped interior bits.
 
It is actually in nicer shape than the #4 car so once the drivetrain is back in order and the carpet is in, it will be all set.
