Going in the shop Tuesday morning for new spark plugs (Motorcraft Platinum) + plug wires (Magnecor) + 2x o2 Sensors + Oil Change... Then... headed over to another shop on Wednesday morning for a UIM/LIM cleaning and replacing a couple of bent valves... (F R E E) Things are actually going smoothly for a change. I'm ordering new struts + sway bar + strut brace in a few days. With the aid of a couple friends it should be installed next week? Yay... Aiming for a new tranny at the end of the summer. Wish me luck! 98 Contour SVT A work in progress

It's good to hear that everything is going on the up and up for you right now though and let me know next time you need to change plugs/wires and stuff. It takes about half an hour and can save you some decent cash. Also, might I suggest either a BAT rear sway bar or the Aussie bar? They all cost about the same but upgrading the rear bar will go nicely with your new suspension. Well, good luck with everything and hopefully you'll be able to make it out to a meet or something.

I have a bunch of stereo equipment that will fit in the trunk of an SVT and I don't need it anymore. 2 Alpine V12 amps, 2 Alpine 10" subs in Q logic sealed boxes and an carpeted amp rack I made that fits under the rear parcel shelf. Let me know if you're interested. I'm in Wakefield. Also, as far as paint, there is a decent shop in Wakefield on Main Street right on the Melrose line. I have seen some of their work and it looks decent. Not sure on pricing, tho. For Sale: - Sony PSP with a Baseball 2k6 and the movie Crash. $100 - 1973 Karmann Ghia Convertible w/ Auto-Stick. Needs Restoration. $1200 OBO
