ASTRO B DEAN!! that color is awesome!!! wow wee!! and now the the GTS badge.......I always thought the GTS was for the sunroof cars.....the sales video may show some thing to help divine truth. but, these pics seem to have the GTS on them. if they did not 'resize" too small for the PIP.....lets see.

Also, one of the pics showing undercarriage /suspension area looks like there is s crack in the frame/unibody. might just be an illusion. No gas prop rod for trunk, Hmmm. Otherwise, a Nice one



so not all Mera came with the Ford back ups.....I believe Mera X was a "Carrello car" and the PO took my Yellow/white Carrellos and put them on his 3800 swapped Mera #8008. I have witness marks on his car and have red Carrellos on Mera X now. but the sales video shows non back up light Mera being loaded up for sale. the Fords were used as a base model the F*car Carellos are considered an "upgrade" so fun talking history again

I was going through some of my very old stock and discovered that I have several pieces of the GTS badge. I have no idea as to where they came from and they are not the prettiest badges in the world, but should be restorable. If any Mera owner wants one, you can have it for the cost of postage. These items were discovered with some old V6 2.8 L badging which is also free for the cost of postage.

This is my first post in this thread. I am currently doing a refresh and restore of 1988 Mera 8031. It is based on a Formula with gray cloth, automatic, power windows, and no other options. The car belonged to a very close friends mother for 10 years. She recently passed and the car had been sitting outside in San Jose for 2 years as they were taking care of her and she was no longer driving.

I am doing some interior modifications but I am retaining every original part and using seat cores to recover in order to save the cars perfect original Formula seats so I will be able to put the car back to bone stock in one weekend if I choose to.

I just finished some paint work today and I think she is finally starting to look decent. I look forward to enjoying the car once I finish.

I repainted the top of the rear clip pictured here.



And here is 8031.



Anyone wanting to follow my progress can do so here.

Thank you, everyone, for sharing all your cars and the endless sources of information. I have read every post in this thread 2 or 3 times and drooled over all of your awesome cars!

I was wondering when you were going to post in this thread. Beautiful car and keep up the great work.

Well, I finally stayed home long enough to finish up a minor project. I just completed restoration of my last set of original MERA rear deck lid letters. They are not perfect but they do not look bad. This is the fourth set that I have finished and all were decent to good after the work was completed. Note that the E does not photograph well since there is so much black showing.

Was at a show this past weekend, saw a 2 tone Mera. Didn't think they made them. Asked to see trunk lid code sticker, sure enough there it was on the paint code. How rare is this?
It was also for sale.
Hope pics come through, don't do this very often.
