Welcome!

Nice ride. Rare color too.

Be sure to check out the SVT HQ for a ton a great info about our cars.

You should also look into the timing belt assembly. If it's original it's 8+ years old now, and the tensioners have a habit of going before the lets go.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. The car is quite photogenic. I wished it looked that good up close.

Timing component kit, and many, many more parts are on order. As far as I can tell, the previous owner only changed the tires and the oil. Everything looks original, and after 114k miles, it's all showing age.

Not sure what the build cert looks like. I'll check the manual.

The build cert would have come from Ford. If it's not in the car, then you probably don't have it. It's a framable certificate that they used to provide for free, and now charge $40.

Thanks, Ford. Thanks. 800 Ford-SVT to get your build number.
