1986 Merkur XR4Ti

I bought this car back in August. The engine and trans where out of the car and needed put back in. After a few setbacks and running low on money a couple of times the car is finally together and running half way decent.

It's almost completely stock, including small VAM and an automatic ECM. I can tell by driving it, it needs a big VAM, LA3, intercooler and more boost. Right now it's pretty doggy compared to my SVO.

The only Stinger parts so far are turbo oil feed and drain lines. I hope to add 3" exhaust later.

It's not much to look at, but it's rust free.

I've got one that looks just like it...with a straight passenger fender...you need a fender?

I kinda like the way those look.

It's not much to look at !! !

well for me I think it was one of the sexyest car on that time
a few years back I wanted one so bad.

great find and if its rust free it will make you a fun car for years to come after a few tweeks .

Thanks guys. I seem to be drawn to these bi-wing 2.3 cars. ;D

I think I'll try to straighten this one. With the fact they are spot-welded in place I don't want to mess with it unless I have to.

Oh yeah I forgot about that...nevermind.

Weird European cars and all.
