As many are aware I no longer have my blue 1997 Taurus no more. Sold that back in February of this year. I took possession of my parents 2005 Taurus now which they bought used in 2006. I had it since about November when they bought a new 2012 Camry through me and my job at a Toyota dealer.
This 2005 had just under 112,000km when I got it. I have all the maintenance records and receipts from the time they owned it. They installed a heavy transmission cooler and electric brake control for a tent trailer they hauled for the first 4 years they had it. Anyhew since I put the car on the road, I installed new front pads and rotors, steel coolant line assembly (see my write up), and re-charged the A/C system. Other then that I upgraded the radio to a mach RCU, wood grain bezel around the stereo and installed the oil pressure and volt gauge that I had in my old Taurus.
My plans in the near future are a new battery (tested bad at work, but it still starts the car fine for now), a new paint job to fix the rust starting and get rid of the rest of the cosmetic damage, and install new speakers to replace the stock ones and installed the tweeters.
