Hi, Guest
Definitely the ST170 style wagon is where it's at. Picking up a decent ZTW and doing some subtle european styling mods would be super sweet.. only thing is that if he wants to do a lot of engine mods, the 05+ ZXW with the Duratec would be a better place to start. It just sucks they dont offer the 2.3L Duratec in anything but the sedan model..
As for picking up a 2000-04 wagon, you could easily pick up some ST170 headlights, grill, bumper, SVT sideskirts, SVT euro wheels, euro tails.. then shave the roof rack, lower it, tint, and do whatever stereo and engine mods and you'd have a pretty sweet car. If he's looking at used, make sure he picks up a 5speed Zetec and not an SPI (since he wants to do engine mods).
