I need some parts from the engine and some wiseass (one of you guys ) takes the whole bloody thing. Btw, uh... I can get the engine and tranny for these cars $60 each right now, so if you guys are interested, please let me know. It'll be AS-IS but I can pull the engine and tranny for about $60 each... for people who know what yard i'm talking about, meet me there we'll help each other out . 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)

My local yard almost never has a engine and tranny inside a Contique when I find them because they pull them out to sell complete.
