I finally got around to washing it and it cleaned up real nice. We bought it last January-ish and it sat at my G-parents house until just recently. It still had salt grime on it from when the previous owner was driving it in the winter :rolleyes: . Now don't beat me up on the quality of the pics, they're taken with a older cheap(er) camera but I figured I'd take some before I put it away for the summer.....


ENJOY...!!!

I'm putting it away for now because I have a 92' SHO Taurus that needs some work and that's my goal for this summer. I bought the Contour with a blown motor and might get to it next winter, if not next summer for sure.....

Daily driver...??? This one is FAR from a daily driver, it's so stiff of a ride you would get sick of it. When I 'pulled' it into the driveway and hit the approach you could feel the stiffness, it felt like two of the tires came off the ground.....

Boosted, these cars ARE a handlful to say the least (I would like to go that route --> turbo!) but I'll be happy just getting it on the road again....

The windows were done before I got the car. Not sure what percent they are, but they are pretty dark all the way around.

not bad, thats the only way I'd go if I wanted a Contour. Screw the other models, those things look bad ass and move pretty good stock to. what did they have for hp stock? 200, 220?

Stock they had 210 (I think), this one already had the 3.0L upgrade and was around 250 or so.....
