Previous car was an 84 Cutlass Supreme: 3.8 carb'd V-6, RWD bought off a mechanic at a local garage. I replaced a fender, grille pieces, headlight bezels, and spray bombed it primer red, planned on dropping in a 400 V8 from a pontiac i have. but the passengers door didn't close right so i always had to close it from outside whenever someone got in, major PITA in a michigan winter. One day my best friend lets me borrow his 91 sentra se-r with intake, exhaust and suspension mods for a few days and i decide i have to have somehting more sporty and fun. i was looking at buying his car and went loan shopping with my dad, we were having squat for luck so on a whim decided to stop by the ford dealer cause he knows a saleslady there from back in the day. I tell her I want a small or medium sized car with a stick, had to have a stick or no go. They happen to be having a sale on Tours so we go look on the lot, I find the one stick they have out there, and oh my, it's a V6 to boot. took it for a nice long test drive and I was sold, Ford credit was nice enough to give me a loan at at grab your ankles interest and the rest is history. As for finding the CEG, I did a search for contours and came up with this place......
