03 Ford Taurus First Build


Recommended Posts

Looking good man. That Blur wood woodgrain is hot. Making me miss my old 05 Taurus haha.

Thank you. I appriciate it. I also love the wood grain. And the 2 tone imola leather seats. One perk of owning the cenntenial edition taurus i guess. Only thing im missing besides the floor mats is the aluminum sport rims. But im going to get some and plastidip them black when funds allow.

Does yours have the Cenntinial Edition head lamps? They're pretty sexy. You got the gold edition emblems or the silver?

Woot! Another Taurus build! I've got VVX's in mine too :)

Yeah except you have 4 15s and i just have 2 12s for now. Have you ran speaker wire to the driver side? I know it might be easier with the lambo doors but im not looking forward to it with that damn molex connector haha

For my lambo doors, I actually had to remove the molex connector and jimmy-rig everything together to get the big ass hinge to fit and my door still close, So I actually don't have that damn thing anymore (Thank god). Just rubber booting from the car to the door. If you don't know much about electrical I wouldn't do that. Easy as hell to screw up grounds etc. What I would possibly do is drill a hole the size of the new wire (If you're running upgraded stuff) in your door by the molex connector and run the wire through there. A lot of water can get up in there so put some primer or something around the hole to prevent rust.

That was my plan. I didnt want to take the door off but i have no idea how i would drill a hole without doing it. I will tackle that when it comes up i guess.

yea I'm not overly looking forward to wiring my doors, pretty much everything else shouldn't be all that dificult I would think just a matter of finding places for things to fit, the doors seem like they might be hard to do and I've never done doors

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Looking good so far....keep up the good work

if you put a DD-1 in your amp terminal and it immediately went up in smoke, i would be concerned.

If you shoved your dick in the terminal and it didn't blow up but a month later it blew up, i STILL WOULDN'T be able to blame your dick.

It just does not make sense at all.

They're time consuming but not hard.
