Not mine, etc, etc.....

I know this car. I've been waiting for the dude to sell it.

This solves the BMW dilemma I was having, since I know where there is a 2.3 Thunderbird with a good engine in it.

wow... t5 swapped maks this a great car for a toy... hurry up and get it brett... so we can watch your build thread :)

Yeah, the Merkur is sold, even though it is a complete basket case. Expect a build thread soon, I expect I can get this done on a Challenge budget.

The bad news is that I drove past the place where the Thunderbird was and it's gone. Bummer. Guess I'll have to start looking for another engine.
