qweesy, it needs a motor. Prior owner destoyed the head and possibly spun a bearing. We've had nothing but rain since I unloaded it off the trailer. I am working with another FF member (also in Texsas) trying to come up with an engine. I cant wait to get it running. Even lacking an engine, its a really clean car and I think it was well worth the money. I'm gonna sell the black wheels on it and put the SVT rims from my SES on it. I'll put my factory wheels back on the 2011.
Well, brake pads all around, took off the EBC ones as they were delaminating from rust it looks like, half worn and one puck came free of the backing plate. New brake fluid and bled the clutch, new rear calipers. New cat and new KYB adjustable yellows, runs like a new car!
Opened the hood, shed a tear, and closed the hood. The ricer that owned it before me did all sorts of things I don't like. Plus I have an exhaust leak. So many things that need to be done to get her back up to stock and on the road. But, on the huge plus side, I HAVE A SVT!
I've had a chewed up seat latch striker bushing since day one, it left one side of the seat a bit loose. I found a 1/2" electrical PVC thing at Lowes for .52 cents that did the trick.
Tail light housing pass side replaced (reverse section was broken)
Proper ford logo (didn't realize my new one was stuck over the old one, I didn't even think twice about the silver oval lol)
Hatch key hole rubber replaced
License plate lights replaced
SVT sub removed (I have 2 12"s)
Sub carpet replaced with non sub carpet
Spare carpet cover turned around (for some reason it was backwards)
Hazards button fixed
Dead pedal added (cougar pedals are the same)
I'd pay $5Kish for it, but I'd have to see it first of course. Thinking maybe he sold it though. He hasn't returned my email lol.
The guy I talked to about the sy svt was actually more concerned about getting his money back for all of the cool stereo stuff than he was about the car.
I am selling my 03 Screaming Yellow...just didn't have enough posts to list it on this site yet and I have been avoiding the dread of craigslist headaches. It needs some work but I have been driving it to and from work as a DD right now.
Don't know what the rules are for posting the listing I put on another forum or not..if it is ok I will link it here.
