I did a REALLY quick wash on the car today, I was in a big rush. It needs a full detail. I also got the T-Tops off and went for a cruise. I'm now in love. Check it out. Terrible pics but at least it's something...

I F'n hate you Chris!!!!:D

That is now 1 of my favorite foxes on the site. My only suggestion are DD rears, & swap out the cheesy centercaps for some factory running pony caps.

thanks Dustin! those are all good suggestions, i think i'll be adding those to the list!

Looks great! Maybe alittle tint?

that's first order of business!

here are some from tonight, i'm pretty pissed they came out blurry :mad:...

That car is literally painted and split two tone exactly how i planned on doing my car. I swear, it's like they say every idea you get someone else has already thought of it. I would've gone with black on top instead of bottom though.
 
T-Tops FTMFW!!


Do you have a garage for this car? I don't care how fresh the t-top seals are, these cars will LEAK sooner or later. That, and if you have a garage for it, you'll find yourself just leaving the t-tops off and only driving it on nice days, haha.
 
I'm now in love.
I am too... So nice.

Agreed and agreed.

The tint will definitely help. Centercaps, and dd rears and it will look bad Larry. I would also lose the tailpipes as I'm not a fan of the look but some people can't put up with the sound of dumps.

Oh yea, and obviously for the weekend a set of Bogarts or something, some 28" slicks and a 200 shot :D
 
This thread helped in my decision to take my car for a ride around the block...

Holy hell I forgot how insanely stiff the clutch is, and how short and notchy the shifter throws were. Not too mention how high I set the clutch to release and grab, and how quick the RPMs climb if/when you roll into the throttle.





:D
 
Well i sold my Merkur today and the guy who got it had an '82 t top coupe in his garage, completely stock and unmolested (although thoroughly wore the hell out). It was a sight to see, even being in rough shape. It was straight as an arrow though and completely rust free.
