I've tried all I am willing to try with this car. I'm not sad really, just burned out. It would have been nice to have a daily driver turbo Contour, but it just did not work out in the end.

I am taking the car back to my shop tonight to begin parting Swazo out. I'll start listing items in the classifieds and on ebay within the week.

Thank you all for the support in building this car! CEG is an awesome forum with lots of great info and really great memebers.



Well, if you change your mind, it is Just a Shortblock away from fun, maybe $400.

Since you are going to have to work to part it out, you might want to think about fixing it.

Also, if you fix it then you can sell it for quite a bit more than you can now.
Just take a few weeks break while you see how you feel in a little while.

Also, sorry that it turned out to be that.

I don't know why you didn't pick that up the first time you ran the compression test.
