As you can see, I'm a big Ford fan... my dad got me started on it with a 1964 Ford Galaxie that he had when I was 5 or 6 years old. He only drives Ford's and my first/current car is a 1994 Ford Taurus GL with the 3.8L Fuel Injected V6 which was availible as an option or standard with the Police Package, its got a dealer installed SHO spoiler and the nice looking 16inch 5 spoke rims that came on the 2001 Taurus.

A '94 Taurus GL? I just checked that out on Edmund's and they're worth about $1,127. A 3.8 is big for a V6 but I'm not easily shaken. My advice to you is sell it and pick up a foxbody or notchback Mustang (an '85 preferrably) and do a 5.0L V8 swap or build the engine. Seriously, it'd be a better investment than trying to pound some horses out of a Taurus.

My car is a '92 Acura (Honda) Integra LS. I'm adding a turbo once I find one for a good price.

My next step right now is getting new headers so I can net like six more horsepower and get a better sound for my exhaust. I'm picking one up for $80. After that I'm doing an aggressive suspension and new wheels/tires.

Why don't you like imports?

Integra, you aren't of Portuguese descent are you?

Somewhere in there, yes. I'm mostly Irish, French and German.

Dunno, I've always liked domestics more.

As for my car, I don't plan on doing anything to it... atleast not like what your doing with yours.
Its my first car... it gets me from a to b. Its in great shape for something with 354,000 km on it.
All the 3.8 does is give it more torque... horsepower is rated at around 150 or something like that but I really don't mind, its still a great car.

My car is my first car, but it's also my first build.

Cool... I don't have the money to do anything "cool" aside from the speakers and stereo.
I still need a new set of tires and the suspension is still original so... I need new shocks and the like.
Its factory green and want to get it painted sometime... probably black or something.

black is a bitch to take care of. scratches show up so easily it's almost not worth it, plus it can get dirty awful quick.

my car is white, and shit, i was it every weekend. 19 year old paint doesn't look good dirty.

i was thinking about doing speakers and a subwoofer, but that's not my focus.

i need a new windshield, an aggressive suspension, wheels & tires.

are you gonna put new bulbs in? High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon lightbulbs are the only way to go bro...

The original headlight assemblies were fogged to shit... the plastic has a habit of doing that with age. I got two new assemblies for dirt cheap, the bulbs are good for now but I'll probably go HID eventually.

As for paint I'm still undecided... either black, white or a dark red... something like that.

I'd go with a cheaper factory paint from a diff. car company... tcpglobal.com has all the paint codes ever.

Personally, I think Light Blue Poly would look good on a Taurus. It's a Toyota color and Toyota paint is cheaper and lasts longer than Ford paint.

all you really gotta do is primer, paint w/ airbrush and throw on some clearcoat. wash and wax.

I wanna go with Championship White, standard white for all Type R's.

Yeah, I dunno right now.
Its gonna be green for awhile so I've got plenty of time to think about it.

I'll post a picture of it sometime.

I need to do a good photoshoot.

Here's a picture of it the first day I got it:



What it looks like right now:


This is my build thread on G2IC.
