The reason that sold is because on eBay you can get a geographically wider audience and you're more likely to find some kook willing to pay 14k for a 30 year old truck because of sentimental reasons and because they have the money to throw away. If you look at recently sold listings, you can see a r...

Absolutely not worth 14k with 79k miles on it. People are trying to sell low mile later 3rd gen Rangers for that, and this truck is 20 years older and not low miles. People keep trying to push the market up for these little trucks when they sell them because there was a decade where you couldn't buy...

That brown looks slick. I think the dark wheels especially tie it together

I think the blue valve covers look nice. The blue isn't too loud, and it ties back into it being a Ford product.

Just found this video on YouTube of some fellows in the UK with a K-swapped XR (yes, an XR, not a Sierra, in the UK, from Florida!). I thought it was pretty neat, and the owner seems to know his stuff when it comes to Merkurs.

Damn, where I can I find a friend with a moisture controlled barn to store my projects? Haha, looks like the car will be nice and safe for the winter. Best of luck with that long list of projects you've got

Welcome back! Glad to hear your health is better, and hope to see some updates on your car when you're able to get things done on it. Best of luck on the car

Woooo!!! Reman brake booster is in the mail. I feel like I'm talking to myself on here tho lol nobody seems to frequent the forums. I miss the early 2000s when that's all we had. Fkn social media b.s. I suspect there's a decent number of lurkers like myself here. I have appreciated very much seeing...

I have a job that includes driving a 12 person passenger van full of college students, and we recently replaced our E-350 with a Transit 350. While I can't really speak to the Transit's mechanical aspects much, since ours is still pretty new, and someone else keeps track of maintenance and does the ...

Hi folks, I'm looking at the service manual's procedure for replacing a wheel cylinder, and it looks like there's a gasket that is used between the drum brake backing plate and the cylinder that they recommend replacing. I bought a couple new cylinders on Rock Auto, but they didn't come with any gas...

Whats the difference between it being there, or being in the glove box? Well I'd say that's an equally strange place to put it. I think the reason for odd locations or designs is anti-theft. Look at how the Porsche 928 has a weird round knob for the lock. This is harder to manipulate from outside t...

In that location? Seems odd that you'd have to open the console to find it there.

Hi guys, I noticed today that there is a switch blank beneath the cover of the center console storage compartment, just behind the parking brake lever. It seems to be for the same style of switch as the ones used for the switches above the air vent to the left of the gauge cluster, the wiper speed a...

Just got an alert from Row52 for this 1988 Scorpio in a junkyard in Virginia, thought I'd post it here in case anyone nearby needs anything.

If you are able to post pics here or post pics on another image sharing platform and link them here, that might help this get some attention. Best of luck
