Ok guys laugh if you want. I am about to start doing the most challenging thing I ever dreamed of doing. I am gonna take my 95 Contour and make it into a rear wheel drive car with a 5.0 under the hood and keep it as stock looking as possible. I have alot of work ahead of me and will be taking pics of the project as I go along in it. I have the big game plan made out and have ideas to what I am gonna start doing to achieve this. I do wonder however what I am getting myself into doing this lol BUT what the h*ll right? If it works out as planned I will have a car that looks stock but will take on almost anything thrown at it and ask for seconds. It will be a street strip car! No it will not have a tubbed out rear end and have monster slicks, but I will be able to fit the pro 10.5 slick on her when I do race it. Look forward to pics hopefully in the next few months as I start into this big long time consumming project.

Oh I am sure I will get degraded by alot of people for doing it. I am not looking to get into a magazine or to sell for money. This is all for me and my personal interest. Also to have a dam good time driving it when it is done. It WILL NOT look like a ricer in any way. It is gonna retain the contour image in every way and will look like its a stock Contour except for the wheels being after market and maybe a SVT body kit. The only real differenc will be under the hood and car itself. I cannot wait till its done! I have alot of beer drinking and cussin and bleeding to be doing soon lol.

I have one of two options. Try to retain what I have ( which I do not think will wrok since its so low.) Or try to fab one frmo a fox body mustang. I have another idea for the front end as well but need to measure some thing out as well. I am thinking about ordering the fox body front clip aftermarket that they sell fro street rods and fabing that into the car as well. That would solve all my issues.

The project is just at the begining point of stripping the car down as of now. I will take before pics. I will be taking pics as I go and posting then as I go. It will be a few years before its done but in the long run it will be finish and running and FAST!! I have two engine choices I am looking at and that depends on how much room I have. It will be fun indeed. Lots of cutting, welding, swearing, beer, late nights, and sleeping on the couch lol.
