Back again with a 1992 Taurus SHO!

[Bryan]

Hey guys! It's been forever since I had to give up my 90 SHO which honestly had some serious problems. Oil leaking from everywhere, rusted out body and numerous other issues. Suffice to say I am back again with another SHO and this time its a 92. Now shes not in drivable condition now due to a deer strike on the drivers side front fender, but she runs great and only has 100k miles on it! It's a manual with the original 3.0 Yamaha. Car was recently repainted and looks great aside from the hit on the front. Rear brakes need to be replaced as the passenger side was run so low the pad actually slipped out of the caliper and wedged itself between the rotor and caliper and it seems to have blown out the caliper piston seal.

Welcome back. Lot less folks in the community now than back in 2011, at least for the first two gens.

How'd the headlamp support bracket and sheet metal hold up

Welcome back as well. With all the green SHO's made you should easily find a replacement parts

Headlamp bracket is smashed on the drivers side. Will need to be completely replaced. upper inner frame of the car around the driverside headlight was bent slightly and will need to be bent back into place before replacing the headlight bracket. Fortunately around where I live there is a lot of old 92 taurus's still in the local yards so finding a replacement fender, hood, and headlight plus the bracket shouldn't be much of an issue.

That would be true, but the previous owner had the car repainted, and its a slightly off color with more metallic sparkly shine to it over the original paint. Ican tell by looking at the door jambs that it was just resprayed as the jambs and rest wasn't done. Only the body.

Paint job looks pretty good in the pictures, noticed that the trunk emblems were removed as well, nice

Hopefully you can get the headlight aimed to where it's drivable. Replacing the radiator support is a pain in the ass, there are probably a hundred spot welds holding the damn thing in. Good luck with the car.
