ANYHOW, does anyone have a spare front plate holder from a 98+? I'll buy it from you if you can bring it to the meet. Still to do: 1) Re-Flash ECU 2) Finish Painting Interior Pieces 3) Install interior pieces 4) Install Sub & Amp 5) Get the car into a shop for a waterpump and wheel bearing (?)!!!! 6) Warsh the car ...It's gonna be a busy Saturday, I think.

Got the amp and sub sitting here but dont want to do it now Just gotta get her washed and we are good to go. FYI I am currently looking into the cost of "renting" the california speedway. After talking to Steve at the pre run he said that some people have rented it before, and it was like 100 per person. Trying to see if we can get that up in a few months 1996 Contour V6 2.5L 24V 5 speed Shift knob: pilot Nickel Metallic Millennium Plus Series Foglights: Pilot Pictures: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/787584

I'm about to drop about a grand for the waterpump and wheel bearing/drive axel/whatever the hell is making that thunk. And both of my rear wheel bearings are out... not rush to replace them though, since they don't really DO anything..... '98 Contour SVT - Please pardon our dust, under heavy construction.
