OB1 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 It has some flaws... Located in Surfside, FL * front bumper cracked * dent in back of trunk * dent in passenger quaterpanel where it meets the hood, just below the cowl * misc. scrapes on the body mouldings * some sort of electrical problem that is ONLY afftecting the A/C... sometimes it comes on, sometimes it doesn't It is an early E0, as it has the E0 rims and NO SUNROOF. Dealer isntalled wing (third brakelight in the back window). Just under 100K milles Black / Midnight Blue No Mods, except stereo system. I drove down picked this thing up for $1300 & drove straight back home. It was 700 miles one way, & I've got alot of work ahead of me. It was about a week ago when I went to get this thing but the wife loves this ugly duckling!! These were the tires that were on it. You can see air in a couple of them. All in all the guy that had it wasn't taking very good care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB1 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 My brother came down to see the new addition! Luckily I have some SVT parts lying around New headlights K&N & Heatshield. I'm talking to a couple of places about doing the bodywork & getting this thing painted. Right now I'm a little tapped but the wife wants this done now! So many Contours so little time/money!

OB1 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 What, to her csvt or for me ;) Cleaned her up today, & added the E1's my wife liked so much. Saw a few things I hadn't seen like the lower rear valance is painted, and the dents in the rear pass side door are worse than I thought. All in all its not as bad as i expected.

I have never seen a tire worse than that... was it still holding air? Wow I would be worried about the basics... oil changes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB1 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Post some new pics, since the body work is done..... a month ago.... Hey Jared take a look at the last pics. I claybarred it & polished it w/ a polisher this weekend. Its OK! I have never seen a tire worse than that... was it still holding air? Wow I would be worried about the basics... oil changes etc. That tire is still holding air now b/c its on my parts car. I'm not to worried about oil changes & such for the price I paid I knew I was buying a fixer upper, & I do all of my own work plus I have alot of parts & 2 SVT engines lying around, but I'm saving for a 3L!

OB1 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't know if I posted in here but this thing died on me a couple of weeks ago while I had Jareds car so I'm getting around to it now. I got the engine in this weekend. For those as curious as I was as to what happened to the engine I've got some pics for ya! mmmmmmm! Piston gravy! :( #1 piston is scrap, so is the block, cams are fine & I don't know about the crank. its got some scratches on the weights but I'll probably scrap it to so why worry. at least its running again. Now to chase down these wiring problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
