Boring stuff:

1994 M reg 1.4 Merit i Estate
Petrol
105689 miles
Tax 6 months
MOT 6 months

It passed as the car stands with no advisories.

Although it looks like it could be unroad worthy, the most important part of this project was it being 100% legal and road worthy.

Loads of receipts for the mechanical side of things and all the parts that make the car what it is today.



Spec sheet for the car:

ENGINE: Yep it has one of them

EXHAUST: Hidden exhaust

WHEELS/TIRES: Porsche D90's 7J front 8J rears, stripped and polished. 195/40/16's Falken tires. Adapters to make it a 5 stud Porsche fitment.

SUSPENSION: Blistein B8 shocks and Coil Springs (custom made) -120mm at the front and -100 on the rear.

BRAKES: Yep we have some!

BODYWORK: Removed face lift front end for an older crap looking one, de-wipered front and back (never rains here), smothered washer jets, ariel, side indicators and rear handle. Flared rear arches, retrimed roof, one off roof rack with a Raleigh Tomahawk, beer barrel and rat think on (changes daily), loads of stickers and stencils (again change daily) some rust here and there.

SECURITY: The way it looks – who would want to steal this?


Only thing not included in the sale is the headunit, everything else in the pictures is in the sale. The pictures of the interior and boot are not the most up to date, for more up to date ones its as it was featured in Fast Car Magazine.
