Since its dead in here...

...figure I might add something to spice it up a bit.

Right before my days off ended I was at the wrecking yard that I used to work at. Once of the guys told me that they got a Contour in that I neded to look at. Meh, I dont need another Contour, but I took a look. Sitting there is a lowered, tinted, black SVT that has been pounded in the rear. I notice the huge exhaust sticking out of the rear sides, probably where the fiberglass rear cover once had an opening (the cover was destroyed along with the left quarter). Still thinking meh, it looked kind of rough and the only reason I would really want an SVT was for parts goodness for the Cougar and in that case I wasnt going to destroy a car that could be saved.

I open the hood and find that it has a Vortech.

Its in the body shop now while I am up at work. If all is working as I am hoping, it will be complete by the time I arrive home at the end of Feb. If its complete, Ill haul it home and have a parts swapping party and take the SVT back to stock and put the kittah under boost (and install a new clutch). Then Ill sell the SVT for low book and still make money.

2.5L of supercharged goodness. Maybe now I will get off my ass and build the 3L that is sitting in my backyard.

Went and checked out the SVT yesterday. They had the body prepped and ready for paint, the interior was pulled and there was no back glass. It should be squirted by now so the parts swapping should being soon.

So, the SVT is sitting in my driveway. It has a CEL but runs, and it does that very quickly. Its going to be a trip when the Cougar does it instead. Im doing some cleaning right now, Ill post up some piccys either tonight or tomorrow.
