Whats up. Just wanted to say hello to all of the SHO owners out there. I've been working on fords for about five years now. Usually because most fords are in need some some maintenance once they get older.Most people would rather get rid of a car than pay big $$$ to get it fixed. I've been through an 89 mercury sable, 87 ford Taurus, 89 sable wagon, 89 Taurus wagon, and recently bought an 98 Taurus SE dohc 24 valve with dual exhaust for $400 bucks. Everything was great with the car except the transmission went out at around 83,000 miles. My friend that sold it to me told me to check out this parts car that he saw. End up getting a 99 Taurus se 24 valve dohc for fifty bucks with newly rebuilt transmission put in. Seems they had the same transmission problem too. It was a state car and rolled coming down the mountain. Changed the transmission and a few other parts and bingo.I'll post a picture here..Oh yeah also scored the 6 disk cd changer from the trunk.nice...:sun:
