Yes, Scott . . Steve had a stock grill cut out for added air flow and called it a Navaho Indiana pattern . . I still have the grill.

I've had multiple XRs since my first in 1997. This one was formerly Dr. Steve Frank (Philadelphia) who sadly passed this life back in 2001. I was pleased to acquire his car and keep it in the Merkur family. I have added to the mods he had begun and taken very good care of it. It has a recent paint j...

Not sold . . I appreciated the positive comments and MCA award, too. The word is out now with people who have seen the car. I'll get around to trying eBay and make the rounds to local car gatherings and car shows as well. . . FYI the fuel gauge float you donated likes its new home and the gauge work...

I’m bringing this pristine ’88 XR to sell at Carlisle. I’m motivated to sell and have arranged a ride home. I’m bringing the Indiana title which requires only my signature. Bring your best offer, money and a driver. Pictures are viewable here  http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/CraigMadsen54/library...

I'm a bit confused with the Forum's posts and replies . . . I am in Indianapolis, IN . . pics of the spatula wheels . . . http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/CraigMadsen54/library/Spatula%20wheels pics of the pristine '88 XR . . . . http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/CraigMadsen54/library/1988%20Merkur...

I have a set of four newly powder coated XR stock spatula wheels. They have never been used or touched by a tire breaker. They are immaculate and ready to make your car look great. Powder coating is front and back. See pictures here: http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/CraigMadsen54/library/Spatula%20...

I believe I successfully added a link to pictures in my original post. I should have done a better job with lighting.
To answer Mike, yes I am 'the' Craig Madsen not just another one . . You remember me and I remember your name and believe you're from north of the US border . .
