quote Originally posted by mera7: dan the man.... yours is a mera. just missin the sticker is all. or as you say could be way early and never had a sticker.

yeah i know. thanks for the slap.
it's just that, a Mera really is a #. 7071 for instance. without the number i feel like an orphan.
plus i cant use "Mera" as selling point without that #. and it is a piece of mind (and license plate) thing for me.
granted if the lack of sticker is a sign on an early Mera but i dont know the #. bummer. no one does. real bummer.
theres some fishy in the CarFax also. only 2 entries. most carfax i see have a yearly run down of all renewals and title issue info. for 10yrs only. i know thats all they keep, but on Ebay even newer, one previous owner cars have a carfax as long as my arm..
mine has two 1998 -MI then nothing till 10/9/2008 FL, my seller. i know that it was untitled in FL for a while. but that makes it look like it has been off the radar for 10 years. this has been buggin me awhile.
then i found this. around the time frame in question 2006-2007





wonder if my key would fit that door lock. speaking of which, i have two different door keys.
1 for the rear deck and one for the doors. not good, right??. anybody else?? 2 sets of door keys. i cant see the rear deck for a lock in these pics but........ASSUMING..STOP!
i'll quit. but i think this is an important point.
i am crawling inside my panels today to see if this may be MeraX afterall. i have had these pics for 8-9 months now and its the only
loose body i know of cept the one in Hawaii. ole RUSTY. so its not done yet. my quest. at least i stay home more on the computer looking for it instead of blazing up the roads.....collecting speeding tix.

OHHHH HAPPY DAYS!!!!
this package has been haunting me for a long time....but you still have it??? cool.
well another clue/lead put to rest. THANK YOU, INDY!
its that when i saw a picture of this car on a trailer form a past thread i swear they looked like my RIMS.
which are not supposed to be on this car. Centerline web site says "no known match" ever!
this is the most tell-tale piece of evidence i have. sorry for any unintentional finger pointing...
wheew.....now what???

maybe some clear coat.....
TOMMY!!!! WHERE YOU AT, ROCK?? i need your infinate wisdom and guidance......
do not make me call you, i have found your phone number in the 'chives. you may want
to screen your phone calls kidding. i got your address remember and alot of free time.

i'es got dirty yesterday
ok the top pic is inner FT driversside fender notice side marker lights and top of wheel well.
2nd pic is lights better. i am lookin at the part where light touches panel.
these are blind shots through a hole between the front parking lights and the alum. plate block outs.
my camera is old so its long and thin...handy.

see the black primer threw me off...but i think thats yellow under there! soo good. we do not like the white 'glass!!
and it looks like more than 10 years of rust on them threads, no?

anyway, Richard. i highly doubt after my current quest has ended, i will disappear..in fact that will just afford me a NEW quest, simillar to Toms. Total Mera Restoration! with a dash of SPEED!

if i had a job. Mikes, Mera 7071 WOULD BE MINE, after the swap (LS anything) then, Mera X would be the stock show car and 7071
would be sunny day driver to the track.....you get the point, then back to ya'll for the daily update.
so much the oppsite...more happier. oh well......someday!

i totally feel my Mera panels as OEM, now its the Fiero (car) part in the sights!

Dan

oh yeah......Morning Lads..

soo heres the paint job...seems my red is a little darker..its hard to tell from the pics.







but there is definite orange peel look going on. maybe some buffin before top coat.
ohhh i knew i was going to mess it up. trial and error....its almost absolute.

today looks like rain .
at least there may be a present in the mail today. paced84 sent me a CD of like 40 or so 1986 Mera pics he got.
this will give me something to do. i'll post 'em here.
Later
Dan (waitin on the POSTIE) Mera X
