Dang, ok, I didn't know there was a "kit", I assume that is also NLA.
But, good to have something to reference.

From time to time there is discussion about adding reinforcement to the rear beam.
Is there any documentation or notes on where people are adding what?

Ship from where?

A tip from experience with these cars: . Clean out the normal road crud that accumulates behind the wheel arches at the top of the rubber inner gravel protector. The DS arch in your photo looks unmolested by rust from behind, but you can be assured that unless the area mentioned isn't blasted clean...

A few of after...Car must have been outside under a tree for a significant amount of time, with the hatch open, all of the paint is black with tree leaves and crap, much like this black stuff that is shown on spoiler. I used a toothbrush and scrubbed with simple green, it's quite a bit better now.

Did some cleaning to see how much of a difference I could make in a short amount of time.

. I believe when new the filter material was either a color similar to as shown cleaned or possibly another color than changes into that when submerged in gasoline over time. XR and Scorpio filter colors match, so same material. Discoloration isn't crud. There are loads of posted pics of true crud ...

Re the rubber hose, is there a longitudinal crack in its midsection? YMMV Note: I ask all these questions as to my knowledge no one else has posted pics of the Scorpio pump unit on any Merkur forum or equivalent. Jeff Herson is fully familiar about them, but not the rest of us...until now. YMMV The...

Do they need keys? Seems like the price is low because they lost the keys. Threw keys away cuz the car is junk... My friend has one of these and thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. A friend in high school had one that was rare, King Cobra brown/orange, but again, a total pile. 140hp ...
