BTW, that car is nice, and can be a handful in winter.
Get her proper winter tires and sandbags in the trunk.

those cars are so simple to work on, I was able to change the water pump on my GT in less than 40 minutes.
for longevity:
Do a complete brake job
Flush the cooling system and install and electric fan(the stock clutch fan is probably close to seizing, or the plastic blades have been broken off)
Change the fluids(including transmission and rear end)
drive the pants off of it.
An electric fan mod from a Contour is good and a junkyard uprade for a five lug and newer better brakes from an early Ranger is nice too. look for disks for the rear from a Lincoln too....Junkyards are your friend with these cars.
