Re: 88 Merkur XR4TI
Been awhile since I've updated. Here's how she sits as of last July. College is coming to an end, so I will have time to do more!
High on my to-do list is the put all the trim back on it and fix the god danged gas gauge. It's not the cluster that's messed up, I either have a messed up fuel sender or a short somewhere along the wire that sends the signal to the cluster. Also high on my list a merkurdepot rad/intercooler combo.
