Yep, got it home late on Sunday. The plan is to swap the engine in my RX7 this weekend so that I have that car as my Alternative Plan (heh) if I can't get the Merkur ready in time for Black River, and get to work on this thing!

Many diffs, one of them a 4.3 lsd supra unit- no kit. Going to run it with the welded Merkur unit for Black River but over the winter I'll certainly be looking at swapping the 4.3 in, reinforcing the beam, better brakes, etc.

Keeping it as close to "as purchased" for now but I will certainly be in touch.

I believe there are one or two Xratties sitting as an abandoned project in Edmonton. I think you may have sold them the bits, the cars, or something.

Probably better and easier to just four link with a Volvo solid axle rear.

Oh, nevermind. Now I realize you were just being coy...

Do you have contact information for them Keith? I seem to remember a car getting caged around 2 years ago and then disappearing off the face of the planet.

I want a New and Improved Dave Clark Merkur of my own...

You were sitting beside one of the contacts all day Saturday.

It was actually Nick Goode who had the car(s?) I think, but Dave likely knows of their disposition at the moment.
