Pretty neat conversion! One of my friends is building a Taurus race car model kind of similar to what you've done. And I've done a 1993 SHO body conversion for a future build.

I used to own a 1990 Taurus SHO, what an incredibly sweet engine. It was a fun car to drive, and could waste a few Mustangs if driven correctly.

The rest of the car was total crap. But the Yamaha engine was spectacular.

My friends dubbed my car "SHI" instead of "SHO". I knew of some very nice, very reliable SHO's, but mine wasn't one of them. Mine was evil. They say don't buy a car built on a Friday or Monday. Mine was obviously built by Fiat or Rover by drunken assembly workers on a Saturday night during their training week when they'd rather not have been at work, judging by the quality of my SHO.

Thanks for all your comments guys!

All improvement is owing to the Singapore fellow modelers who gave me lots of tips and guidence. And not forgeting the brothers of AF!

The tarus is running on 19" rims and wing is scratchbuilt.
