Jeff Schmidt's 1998 Ford Contour No Start -Fixing it Forward

Опубликовано 2 октября 2015, 10:00

We've moved on from Barbara's 1998 Town & Country to this 1998 Ford Contour. This is the second vehicle in the Fixing it Forward series. Solving the no start is only part of the problem. As you'll see in the coming videos with this vehicle, it has a few more issues that need to be worked out.

What's interesting about this project is that Barbara herself introduced me to Jeff and his wife. In fact, she's been driving them around occasionally when then need to get from place to place. Both Jeff and his wife have health issues that prevent them from repairing the vehicle themselves. This is where Fixing it Forward comes in. It's my hope to get Jeff's Ford back on the road and in good working condition.

So sit back and enjoy the first in this series of videos with the 1998 Ford Contour, also known as a Mondeo in other parts of the world.
