As an added bonus I can see my coolant level now. :D
 
Admittedly I have had thoughts of selling my Tour in the recent weeks : / been depressing Bills are consuming me, right in the middle of a front end restore too so she's sitting rough makes me mad seeing her in the garage...dirty and not mint...just depressing...anyone else have this issue time to time?
 
It's sad to think about parting with your car especially with the Joy it brings owning ya know? BUT give it a few weeks before deciding for sure never know what may come your way that's what I'm doing.
 
That's good advice... I have another car so maybe I'll hold out for a minute... It sucks because I just had new Lca's put on it last week (as you can see in the pics)... It was my DD and I really enjoy driving it so it's a tough decision...

I've been to the junkyard a lot lately. My brother picked up a 95 GL v6 5spd. I have a 96 GL zetec. I am jealous of the torque truth be told but the stripper GL zetecs are light and nimble. In any case, been having some option envy so I went to the junkyard and picked up and installed the following recently. Lighted vanity mirror visors, new power drivers seat, under hood light and switch, 96 mystique front lip spoiler, new fender well splash guards passenger side, new front under tray, picked up a switch from a CNG contour and wired it for my aftermarket fog lights (hate the red lighted switch, it's distracting on long hauls) new clip that holds the hood prop rod in place, new power mirror switch, drivers side rear view mirror fish eye (harbor freight), brand new headlights, new drivers tail light, new jack, new fuel filler cap and a front bumper license plate holder. I recently changed the oil, new air filter, new plugs and wires, rotated tires, replaced the check valve in the washer nozzle lines. Still looking for a drivers SE side skirt.. Haven't installed the trunk light or switch, alternator over drive pulley, walbro pump or FPR, I have a 99 SE trunk lid I want to install but someone misplace the center light, I'm getting close to where I want this car to be. I'll be painting and tinting it soon, new exhaust, thinking a zetec 4-2-1 header and high flow cat and muffler, new struts and suspension bits. I have money set aside for this. Can't wait to paint it. Nearing 200k, been a great car. Just washed it today, looks ghetto fabulous. Need to order new q clips for the roof rack.... Tons of mods/upgrades/options from contours and mystiques, some performance mods as we'll both suspension and engine wise. If it's broken, I fix it. I'm very OCD when it comes to my cars.

My brothers 95 has 125k on it. The heater only worked on high. Fixed that. Replaced the broken head rests, replaced the broken cluster surround with vents. Replaced drivers interior door handle and light (didn't know they came lighted) adjusted throttle cable, replaced rear seat belt, replaced inner trim on drivers a pillar, replaced license plate bulbs, replaced rear ash tray, replaced cracked trunk release handle trim, replaced drivers door seal, fixed dimmer switch, replaced clutch pedal cover, oil change and filter, fixed cup holder, installed rear seat grab handles w/hooks, replaced trunk lid struts, there's more but it escapes me at the moment. Still need to replace a noisy pulley and a broken headlight adjuster. Good little car. Paid $875, not bad for a solid running car. Don't like obd I though..

As you can see, been busy with the contours... Got my brother hooked. He'd been driving mine while I was away.
 
I painted a fender and spliced a 96 wiring harness for the tail lights into a 98 taillight wiring harness. Been doing a lot of body work lately getting the car ready for paint. lots of sanding and body filler. Fun times. The other day I installed the sleeperZ intake. She's due for an oil change soon. Ticked over 200K the other day. What a rock solid reliable car. If she ever dies she's getting replaced with another pre 98 zetec MTX no doubt.
 
:confused: didn't know the 95 GL was available with a v6/MTX combo:shrug:
LX's yes but GL's
 
Yep V6 GL MTX. 14inch alloys. Butt ugly wheels lol! But all the desirable options. Power everything, cruise control etc and rear disk brakes. Body is not great but its white so you can hardly see any of the imperfections. He's pleased with it, after driving around my zetec GL for a year and half he loves the V6, 50 hp makes a bit of a difference and mine is lowered with a ton of miles so his rides much more cushy.
