The Lerker, which is best known as a Ford Sierra has been purchased by one of our techs named Dave. Unfortunately, few people remember the the US counter part that we have here, the Merkur XR4-Ti.
He is super excited about plans he has instore for this car. Hillclimbs, circle track... just to name a few .
He currently has a stock LS1 and a Jericho transmission for the power house. He's gone a little crazy by cutting out the firewall and making a well balanced chassis, but he's well on is way.
The steering shaft has been installed with a center mounted bearing assembly.
Custom mounts were designed and made in order to mount large high performance calipers to the oversized rotors.
Its a very basic design and concept. GAS CAP!
The transmission cover and gear shifter has been designed and tack welded into place.
The blow off valve was welding into place.
The wiring has been started. The ecu has been mounted under the dash on the passenger side.... can you also see the corner of the heater?
Several cross-x welds have been added.
