I know you fella's are always up for pictures and thought I'd take a few minutes to let you see what I now use as my daily driver ;)

I bought the Contour two days after Christmas and went all the way up to West Virginia for it... it had a few minor things wrong with it but I've managed to fix everything for a whoping 36 bucks lol. It had just under 52,000 original miles on it when I bought it and seems to be really well taken care of. There are still a few other things I need to do to it but it's just fine for the time being.

It's completely stock at this time... but I've already bought it's first mod for it in the form of a Borla catback :laugh:

Hope you fellas enjoy the pics.

Yeah I noticed that after I took the pic... it's a large trash container in the background of the pic. That would have been a good one if not for the dang can lol.

Im almost have the same cars as well. I have a torch red 03 cobra vert (stock) but the sad part is I have an LX four banger contour....oh well. Great cars!!!
 
Not big on mustangs...but you have a really nice one there! Nice engine work! Wish a that supercharger fit on my CSVT :laugh::laugh:
 
Sorry to get back to this so late guys. The internet here was down for almost three days and I'm just NOW getting to post back to this. I thought I was gonna go crazy there for awhile lol!

Very nice pickup! That SVT is clean...just needs some new headlights.

Thanks for the compliment. It definitely needs lights and some exhuast... the stock stuff on it is well on it's way to rusting out. Catback showed up for it yesterday though :laugh:

Well since we're long lost car brethern... how's about hooking me up with some TF wheels to make my Cobra look even more balla' ;) Really wish I could buy a set of wheels from you... I loved what you did with the "replica" Anniersary wheels :cool: Did you ever get around to making those in an 18" version?

Ever think of making wheels for the Contour as well? A set of Chicane RS's with black centers would look sweet on the Silver Frost!

You've got some great taste in cars man :)
I like all the little mods I spotted on the Cobra too.
Where'd you get those guages?

Thanks mang... I appreciate it :) The Cobra has it's fair share of mods all over the car I suppose hahaha. There's things there that you don't see though that show my "attention to detail" more or less. The battery box for the relocation I made myself to enclose a Dyna-batt drycell, and the lower shock mounts on the rear I turned out myself on a lathe at work. The rear coil-over kit is actually sold as a "solid axle kit" but all I needed was the lower mounts to make it work.

The gauges are from a company called Speedhut. They'll make you just about anything you could come up with as far as a gauge with your own font, color, background, etc. I got those on a group buy a couple years ago but I'm sure they could do the same thing if asked. They match the factory cluster very well and even have the "el-glo" lighting at night. The gauges I have in the car are boost/vaccum, fuel pressure, and a wideband hooked up to an Inovate LC1 controller.

Good thread. Very good thread:drool:

May I ask what has to be done to the Terminator?

The better question is what "doesn't" need to be done to it hahaha.

I need to fix the rearend and put the parts that are now off of it back on... and while it's apart I need to do some preventive maintanence things like regrease all the bushings and the rod-ends that are on it. After I put it back together it's going back for a retune for the boost to be turned up on it :laugh: I'm hoping it will make over 700 to the tires on the Mustang Dyno my tuner uses... should haul the mail fairly well I'd say :cool:

Thanks again for all the replies.
