Wow! Great job restoring this great car. I want an SVO SOOOO BAD!

[@joeturbo7406]

Thanks for the comment. It was a labor of love to get this SVO back on the road.

Very nice work, I’ve put many hours into my old 79 turbo, love those 2.3 turbos.

[@joeturbo7406]

Thank you. I've always had a draw towards turbo 2.3 fords. I still have my black 86 SVO....

Nice car now. Almost bought one brand new till dealer started playing games. Hello iroc. Really like the 5 lugs too

Thanks - it's been traded a few times since I resurrected it, but I know the current owner and it's in good hands....

What paint for the black on the bumpers

[@joeturbo7406]

Thanks for the question, I generally use SEM Bumper Coat Charcoal Grey p/n 39153. It's available in spray cans. Just be sure to paint when there is little to no humidity so the paint doesn't "blush".
