Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General New Here!!

LMAO, you're all great guys, I can tell.

Why did I buy it new? The same reason that my policy is this: I DO NOT work on "used" vehicles, they area pain. WHen you cut something open, redo something, add something.. something else has to get done, rust is here, bent this adn that. I don't fool with that.My magnum had 119 mile son it when I sucided the doors, did the hood, lights, and wheels. Exhaust went on @ about 600 miles and same with the audio. All goes the same with any car/clients car I work on. Used... eew, I hate used.

I'm not going to immediatly chop the thing up and make it AWD. Body comes first, then audio, then powerplant. I'll get some miles (maybe a 1000, or so) and then out with the mtoor/trans. Anyone wants it when I take it out, I'll probably give it to whoever wants to drive and pick it up free of charge, as I don't usually sell parts I remove.. either recyled or pitched. (I'm sure I just made a bunch of friends, eh?)

I'll have wheels, exhaust, and interior and stuff that'll be useless. PLEASE, don't PM me or ask or reserve stuff now, I'll bring it up when I have it off the car.

I'll take the engine, tranny, subframe, ECU, and axles. Help another first be done,, converting a auto zetec into a manual svt duratec!!! I'm serious, I'll get a truck and come down there anytime you're ready.

You may want to hold off on some of the body stuff until you do whatever AWD/RWD conversion you plan. It will most likely require some modification to the body to fit everything nicely.

Do you think so? I've yet to have a chance to get it on a lift and look it over. Just using my knowledge of Jags and Fords platform, I have a vision of what will work. Kermit, you may just be right on the body.

I'm sure you can get it all to fit under the stock body just fine, but it may be more work than you want to do. You may require additional under hood clearance, so maybe a higher hood, you may need wider fender wells to fit the wheels under the car without them looking akward, etc. You can probably do whatever you want with the doors and some other things, but best to hold off/just plan how you want things to look for much of the body.

Whatever happened to this?

Bannaninated???

I honestly don't believe the guy myself........

He hasnt been banned. Someone should PM him and see what his progress is, if any.
