john don't scare the kids away with reality!

I used a license plate as a template for my first ghetto cossie grill. The corners are rounded. I also tapered it at the bottom like the red car pictured. Sorry no pics, that was years ago. Running angry cossie now, u should be able to get a cossie grill for less than 200

, and as a merkur owner i know I am a cheapskate, so i wouldn;t spend 500 bucks on fender panels hood etc.... i don't think 500 for light weight fender panels hood is expensive at all especially if the work is good. carbon fiber hoods are 600+ a body guy i can say this is a good idea. i like the th...

^^^yikes!!! yeah always fuse your +!!! i've been in the car with someone when theirs caught on fire. 2 times! and my first car the same, it only got as far as smoking but still lesson learned

is this that champange color? i just met a guy with an 88 this color and i can't convince him to keep it that color... he wants to paint it flat black

you know this is actually interesting, i introduced another to merkurs and told him bout the forum a year ago... he still isn't activated. ms seems tho it has alot of members (i kno not as many as here) a lot of members don't post so it seems more clicque-ish i guess may be the word for the feel the...

yeah i'd be leery of those ebay seats. think about it. $250 shipped for a brand new set of seats? can't be much quality there, how much does it cost to ship a seat much less a pair? get something from a reputable manufacturer

where's the vomit icon when you need it?

hey mfnd, i sold my mk1 scirocco project to buy my 1st xr. it was an 81. i was building an aba 2.0l 16v turbo. on digi 1 management. i miss the car very very little. it would've been quick, they weigh less than 2100, and that engine setup is good for 300+. but still the xr....... i'm going to get so...

why do you delete the sway bar?

I'll try to get a pic of them today. I could be wrong. I have had them upside down, swapping seat belt brackets and the plastic slider "bushings". Maybe I didn't look deep enough. They are out of a mk2 gli. They slide right in to a mk1 vw, so I have not been too serious about the mods nec...

michaelb wrote:a sierra xr4i bumper with a piece of aluminum riveted on???? is my guess.

I have a set of gray Recaros out of a Jetta GLI that I am dying to get in there, but the VW seat's frame is integral. I am very scared to cut them up, and have crooked, wonky (really nice) seats. can you post pics of the problem area? i ask cause i'm seriously thinking about getting these corrado s...
