A Real Mera in Paradise (Page 609/713)

In answer to the question, I currently have a black, gunmetal gray, and two red Meras. One of the red ones will eventually be a 2005 Lotus British Racing Green if my plans come to fruition.

That may be a ways off due to some bills but I hope that it can be done in an appropriate time frame. BTW, the car will have a stock Beechwood interior.

Where did you get the GTS emblem? Is that a real F car piece?

How 'bout black? Doesn't Nelson have a black one. Saw a black Testa Rosa the other day--very cool. Daytonas also look best in black.






Yes I do and it is in the process of being reconverted from a F308 vehicle back to a Mera.

Looks great. Gotta admit, the fender shield really stands out and catches your eye. If your going back to Mera markings you might consider some of the graphics Zigaroo did back on pages 4-7.

All of the Ferrari bits have been stripped off, appropriate rear backup lights added, deleted the F car backup lights, and now I need to correct the side marker issues. I have the new ones but do not want to swap them until just before paint/body work to repair all the small issues associated with emblem removal. The 88 Chromadoras have now been removed and a new 16" Koenig wheel set is now installed on the car. I plan for the car to stay black and have upgraded the power plant (3800 SC Series II with a 3.4 pulley). It runs nicely at this time and I consider it about 80% completed. I took it out to play for a few minutes this afternoon and accidentally left black marks on the driveway when I dropped the clutch at around 2000 rpm.

so Nelson?? are you sure your Mera did not come with the Ford backup delete?? that sales vid shows factory Mera loaded on that car carrier with F-Car configuration........just a friendly reminder. you may have taken a weird step into the twilight-zone with this move. turned your "stock" Mera, with the F-Car ordered option and made it into a "stock" Mera with the Fords....but not as that car was ordered.

that make sence??? wow that is weird. I believe my seller took my F-Car lights the yellows anyway and added his Fords to my car.
I got photo evidence. I need to confirm. if I can find info that Mera #8008 had the "Mera 1" light package at the time on build then its set


I think this photo looks like it was filled in at the back up light location. maybe??
