UPDATE FEB 25,2012 The swap to 5-speed transmission is done. Runs and sounds great. Now to upgrade some of it's components, like the clutch and diff.

Bought her as a beater. Loved this grocery getter so much I decided to totally do her up. Lights, sounds, performance, appearance. Doing it all. It's a huge job that I don't expect to be finished with until 2015, but I love every bit of it.
The goal is to build the ultimate generation 4 Taurus with the Vulcan engine. The target is 700+ horsepower and at least one car show trophy. All this and she is still the car I get my groceries in. LOL.
I only feed her AMSOIL synthetic oil and minimum 94 octane fuel.
