My new SHO

[shoman07]

Well i picked up a 1998 silver frost. It was a cam fail but took the motor from my 1996 sho and switch motors out. I have recently have been doing a few mods for the extior of the car and will then i will pay more attention to the motor and exhaust when the winter is done. i still have a few thing that need to be done but i want to see what you guy though so far..

Nice the Gen 3's are growing on me..

 

[shoman07]

I really like the gen 3 but i just hate that the trans a super weak in them. i have a sct and it help alot but i know that just because i have the sct does not mean im going to save it..

We have a member approaching 200K on his original trans, and I'm sure he's not the only one.

If I bought a Gen 3, it would look like this one. Nice job, it looks great!

 

[Rubix]

There's a guy here in Va with two gen 3's, both unwelded and both on original transmissions. One has over 238k and the other (silver) has about 135k.

Your's looks great, very clean, shiny wheels, and I'm liking the blacked out lights - both head and tail.

Nice lookin sho.. but I bet you can't see out of those headlights

 

[Mr95Gl]

Car looks great! I've always wanted a SF Gen 3.

 

[shoman07]

When they were done i thought it was going to be rally bad to see the headlight but it it not as bad as i thought it was going to be. The police here were i live stopped me the other morning and he just wanted to talk about how i did it and that i had a nice car. i will be putting in HID here in a few weeks.

 

[SuperHO]

not to hijack, nor to jinx myself, but my 98's pushin 176k on the stock trans without a tune, and i'm not always nice to it. good lookin car, by the by. i'm really diggin the body colored trunk panel.

tranny's are a "crap-shoot" in all Fords.
my SHO tranny got a re-build at 75K. no probs since
i had a '99 Windstar w/ a blown tranny @ 60K
i had a '97 Taurus LX w/ a blown tranny @ 85K
however, i have an '01 escape w/ 130K and a '99 Explorer w/ 165K...no tranny problems

2 out of 5 (40%) success rate (haha!).

 

[ThatShoGuy]

nice sho

im also in michigan!

this is my 97 it has had 3 motors and cam failed and 2 transmissons.......
its kind of dirty in this pic but yours is just like mine!
i got a few more mods on the outside.

 

[MichiganSHO96]

My tranny will be done and drivable for the first time tomorrow! But yes I had 3 AOD trannys fail in my Supercoupe... Just get them rebuilt and your good to go....

 

[shoman07]

I bought the rebuild kit for it and im going to have a buddy do it for me. I dont know if I should buy a aftermarket torque converter? But does anyone know where i can get a good shift kit?

 

[TopGunnYFZ]

Car looks great! I like it subtle and clean mods.

I might pick up a Gen 3 for a DD this summer.

 

[sperold]

That is a very nice Gen 3. The colour is very attractive. The darkened rear lights are an excellent feature and the rear view seems particularily nice.
The deep red Gen 3's are great looking cars as the tailights tend to go unnoticed when surrounded by the same coloured body.
Nice car, and you may not have any problems with the transmission at all. There are plenty of little tricks that help them.

Nice looking SHO.
The black ones look pretty good with blackened tailights also.



Did you use Nite Shades?

 

[shoman07]

yea i love the black shos but i can never find one that has a blown motor or a trans that is bad. I have a buddy that has a 1996 blacked out sho and it looks really nice but when the time is right i will buy one..
