back on the 8th of feb at 2pm near my house. my friend kevin was going to the store to go get his medication for his crohns disease. He was traveling on a main roadway about 45 mph. and a 81 year old driver decided to just pull out right in front of him AND STOP in the middle of the street in front of kevin. and kevin slammed right into him at around 40 mph ...... airbags went off...

POLICE found out 81 year old was drunk and was arrested for OVI. kevin has a broken left knee cutt up hands and wrist, banged up face. back pain and neck pain. luckily is isnt critically hurt. he could of been

MY BUDDY SAID HE WISHED HE HAD LOL. Cuz he was going to do it but he couldnt move lol.



and for a UPDATE IN THIS.

Well i did the rear strut tower brace and also boxed in the front lower control arms. so here is some pics.

I still have the subfram connectors, and front strut tower to do.

working on seeing hwo to box in these rear control arms and mounts to make it all more rigid. FORD STAMPED STEEL sucks.

so FOR AN UPDATE got the fidanza shifter in today.felt like installing it.

only issue is the REVERSE lockout lifter i cant oput on since the dowl lockpin is to big for the shifter i just installed it and will have to find a smaller lockpin so i can install it with the shifter.

BUT after playing with it installed. it really is hard to even atempt to hit reverse ON purpose.. so i doubt driving regularly that you will hit 5th from 3-4

Compairing both shifters side by side. thie FIDANZA shifter is so much shorter.












stock shifter with lockout installed. look how tall it is.








fidanza shifter without lockout installed. BUT lockout will only push the boot down about 1 inch lower thats it.. shifter stays in same location(knob)

Way to support local Vendors like Fidanza!

yeah this shifter is disconntinued i got one of the last oness they will ever make for the contour. only sad part is i prolly shoulda put the lockpin in before i put the shifter in the car for reverse lockout.

cuz i cant install it once i installed the shifter. but il figure it out.

alright so i got alot of update pics and stuff going on. bassically today the motor and tranny are going in since everything else on this car is done. minus a few things getting painted or trimed up....

so here ya go.




2 GRAND in parts just chillin in this pile lol.






DECIDED to clean and sand down engine bay and craddly front suspension and repaint all of it to look new. plus help stop and future rust. came out pretty good.









PAINTED THE ENGINE AND TRANNY








ALSO painted the brakes, rotors, spindles everything.









MSDS HEADERS. very nice parts. also had them ceramic coated.












DELETED THE A/C DONT NEED IT shits over rated.





and now the baller FIDANZA 8.5 LB flywheel. stock was 27
