So I had to get rid of the jeep to its rusting issues. So I called around and tryed to find a cheap car ASAP for school. What end up happening is the my friends' gf was selling her taurus for 750$. I end up getting it for 400$ Posted Image since I was in the hole with the damn jeep. Anyway I actually love the car just needs some work. The passenger rear door doesn't lock right. The front passenger window doesn't go down. The is rust on the rear quarter panels. It needs a new left front fender and a front bumper. Also needs a rear bumper. Anyway onto the pictures.
Also I gave my first blood to the car.

Damn! it looks like some thing bit off parts of the bumpers! But for 400 why the hell not!:tsoc: That's an LX! I wonder why they replaced the radio... I think you should find a gen 2 premium radio. I bet that has premium speakers!

Well the first step on Op black stealth I'm going to fix the bumpers. For a sho front end conversion. What parts needed? From what I understand I need the lights,fender, bumper, and hood. Is there anything else that needs to go with it? Also for a SHO speedometer does it plug right end or do I need to splice the wires.

Thanks in advance.

-Alex


Also how can I figure out the code for the keypad, that would help also Posted Image

The SHO cluster will plug right in as long as you don't have the digital cluster. You also need the bumper filler and the light bar. You can find the keypad code on the remote entry module in the trunk. (should be a sticker right on it.)

Dude! That's pretty sweet Alex, very nice man. I've been told Tauruses are tanks in snow, so hopefully that one is too. Is a 3.8 or 3.0? That plastic likes to crack/explode at the slightest touch with age. Good luck with the car man...definitely keep the thread updated :D

It has the 3.8, and it's very touchy in a good way. Im heading to the junkyard tomorrow to start the modding process.

True, that. Snow-drifting is fun with a Taurus.

Today wasn't that good at the junkyard. I went and left with a cargo net. Anyway Got home and decided to night shade the tail lights. To my surprise they actually came out pretty nicely.
