First car is a SHO

[TheVancen]

That is too cool. Deserves a total restoration.

A parts list will follow in a few days. Its gonna be a long one.
The entire brake system, pads and rotors, all 4 calipers, flex lines and a master cylinder, I'll make the hardlines.
Rear spoiler, both front door panels.
Trunk lid.

Thanks to the people on here, yes, I do now. I really dont want to cut it up, but if its too far gone, well, there isn't much else to do. That being said, most of the rust looks minimal.

It's rough, but if the rust isn't too bad it can be brought back. The brakes and such are all standard Taurus parts, so they're not really outrageous in cost. Rockauto is your friend, especially if you can ship parts to a US address and then come over and pick them up.

Well, that's the deal then, I have a PO box in Watertown NY. We shall see what we shall see. I cleaned all the rat turds and disintegrated plastic out today, even the funky smell seems to have gone away.

So how can the brake parts be the same as a standard Taurus? Did they come with discs too?
Did all of them come with ABS? A few of the parts jobbers I called yesterday said it could have or not.
I'll have to pull off the wheels and check for abs wires and all that jazz.

Anyone know where I can find another trunk lid? The one I have is toast and the spoiler is missing anyways.

And the fiberglass hood is in a pretty bad way. Looms like someone slammed it hard enough to crack it all the way through. As soon as I take some, I'll put up pictures so you guys can tell me if its repairable.

You can purchase all new hard lines for the brakes from SHONutPerformance.com.

That is a rare find you have on your hands, and with help from the forum you could probably bring it back from the brink if you're willing to.

The more I think about it, the more I think I want to keep the car.

All SHOs from 90 up had ABS standard. Make sure you measure your rotors so you know if it's had a brake upgrade.

OK, that's my mission for tomorrow. Remove wheels and tires, measure brakes, check calipers and slides.
Maybe toss the slicers back on it so I can give back my dads snows for his sable.

Also, any one have center caps for a set of slicers? Mine are missing...

Keep an eye open on craigslist and whatnot. Might come across a diamond in the rough.
