I’m not entirely sure where this project will ultimately go, but I do not want a stock Scorpio for very long. I’ve done a few XR projects, now it’s time to take a walk on the dark side… Here goes nothing.
I put out a feeler for possibly wanting a Scorpio after Carlisle, because it seems everyone there who has or had one, love them. I didn’t want to be left out and besides I had a vision for a build that no one has done yet. Most builds I see are underdone or over-done. I wanted preferably a runner or close to it and within 2 days Jeff at Merkur Midwest comes through. Previously owned and daily driven by a relative of his and parked in November, $700 later it was delivered with a bunch of junk in the trunk for me to mess with in the future. Nothing special to look at in Chestnut metallic, a little rust around the arches, but it’s a start. This is not intended to be a restoration as the rust has taken hold, but an almost full mockup of the next Scorpio project I plan.
Much more to come
