Yeah, but then I wouldn't have one of the most unique Contours, would I? I'm already buying my wife a BMW 330xi next year, and I'll have enough money to play with the Contour. I've never had a "modern" project car, so I guess this would be it. It won't cost me as much to do my little mods b/c between my business partner and I, we have almost everything we need to build and install engines. The point of my post wasn't that I wanted to drive a Jaguar, or to even mention the overall cost of the project. The goal is to have a totally unique vehicle, and that is it.
