Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry I forgot to give you the stats.
1995 Contour LX. 63000 mi.
2.5 Duratech
5 spd. trans.
Green paint that is horrible shape. He doesn't wash and wax very often, but gets regular maintainance.
Everything on this car is stock except for the Blaupunkt head unit.

My uncle gave me this car because he bought a new one.

WELCOME TO CEG you're going to find this is a great resource for all of this. Some places to start looking would be:
Duratec maintenence: read the 'read first' sticky
Duratec performance: read the 'bolt on basics' sticky
Aesthetics: Read the 'read first, and electronic aesthetics' stick.

Also search for 'cheap mod' in the GENERAL mods forum for a list of CHEAP and easy to DIY mods.

One more thing, a lot of the problems that this car may have or is going to have, are already common and detailed either on the main page or through the trouble shooting forums.

One last point, junk yards are an EXCELLENT source of parts, especially for aesthetics, but also for trouble shooting. Enjoy and welcome once again.
