That'll be the Merkur XR4Ti then US market model, with a blown 8v pinto IIRC


That is one looking motor broadmoor That colour looks far and away better there than it ever will on a TT

Although if I were you I'd tell everyone that it's the colour of the new Lambo press car

If they are building it, it should be reliable.

Very nice...looks like a quality job . Bet it hops on a bit now you've taken all that weight out....obviously a standard Classic could outrun it while returning 150mpg, but you nevertheless have a great car there .

sure is, well spotted. Comprehensive weld in cages improve the handling dramatically, plus a lot safer etc. Just what u need when hooning it around the track

when the cars up and running i'll make a choice .....or maybe i'll change em every other week...lol
