Its time to let go of my project car.  Its been untouched since 2013 and i don't forsee me getting back into it anytime soon.  It is very much a project right now and will need to be trailered.  I was mid upgrade for the brakes  and rear suspension so it rolls but doesn't drive.  Ran when parked before it took it apart.  etc. 

Pros:

-1989 merkur XR4Ti

-Gutted upper intake, knife edged lower intake

-Ported E6 exhaust manifold

-stock head and bottom end

-T3/T4 turbo

-FMIC

-LA3 computer from a TurboCoupe

-Large VAM modified for blowthrough

-RFL BOV

-3" downpipe and exhaust into turndown

-PBR mustang front brake upgrade

-rear disk brake upgrade

-Hawk HP+ pads 

-New Master Cylinder

-Water temp, oil temp, boost gauges

-Spares: rear diff, rear beam support, NIB front control arms, rear control arms sanded and painted, IHI turbo 5 sets of wheels (3 fit brake upgrade, 2 do not)

 

Cons: 

- gutted interior (planned for a cage) I have most of the interior

-dent in R front quarterpanel

I know there's someone out there who wants an orphan Ford project car.   Make me an offer!

Trying to not think about how I'll have a empty trailer in Anderson soon.

How do the rocker panels and under the cladding look? Any rust peeking out? Always a southern car? Uncracked dash? How are  the interior parts you have condition wise? Looks like all of the 89 specific cooking system parts have been replaced by the earlier stuff, is this correct? I'm really tempted to get another one... it's been a while, lol

I got it from savannah.   So as far as I can tell it's always been southern.  Rockers look good.   Undercarriage looks good too.  I've never taken the cladding off so I can't say but I would be surprised if it's not in great shape.  
the dash has no cracks but it has a hole in it that looks like it was drilled.

Good luck with the sale, we had such grand plans for it back in the day. It really has been almost a decade since it saw the light of day. It will make a fun car for someone once it is complete.

I know.  It hurts my heart to see it just sit there.  But it's best that someone take it and play with it rather than let it become a dust magnet
