I believe its something like: 1) Drive. 2) Pull e-brake. 3) Slide. 4) Repeat. 5 (Optional) Call tow truck if necessary. Thanks for the greeting! I've perused the forums for a couple years, but finally decided to post. As for the deer issue, one had a seat on the hood of my 'tour last winter. Minor damage, luckily. Remember, just because you miss the first deer that leaps across your path, it doesn't mean it's idiot mate won't follow it and, well, fill your grill with tufts of fur and cracks. I was lucky.

The summer wheels do though, but thats becuase of the extra 10mm of offset. Nicer stance, but they do rub occasionally (even with rolled fenders, I've pretty much given up fixing it). The look is worth it though, IMO. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

But probably not a good idea. But this whole experience shows that if you want to, you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. Before this project, I had ZERO bodywork experience. If I can pull it off, anyone can. Just be patient and think outside the box. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>
