I probably won't start this venture for quite some time, just throwing the idea out now to see what others think... But give me sometime and I will get it done one of these days... I'm in the process of starting a new job now, so kinda strapped for cash, but I figuer I could go ahead and buy an engine tear it apart and do what I can when I can, so this will be a long project, plus I know I don't know enough about it to do this all right now... That will change, after I start this job I am going to get my ASE cert. and then switch jobs again most likely...

you don't need a zetec from a contour, u can pull one from any wrecked zx2,zx3,zx5,4cyl cougar,and 4cyl escape (don't they have zetecs?)
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater
