Jeff Schmidt Picks Up His 1998 Ford Contour -Fixing it Forward

Опубликовано 25 декабря 2015, 11:12

Here is the concluding episode of the 1998 Ford Contour series. This was the second vehicle in the series. I'm glad you get to see the first vehicle form the Fixing it Forward series in this video, Barbara's 1998 Chrysler Town and Country. That's right, I found Jeff through Barbara. She's been driving Jeff and his wife around in the van when they needed to get places for the past few months while Jeff's car was down. It's nice how that's come full circle.

It's now time to take on a new Fixing it Forward project. I'm looking forward to the challenge. Perhaps next time we'll find a car that hasn't sat for too long.

Let's hope Jeff's Ford can stay out of the shop longer than Barbara's did. I have a feeling it will. The repairs on this vehicle went very well and the car runs fantastic.
