You have purchased a kit car. That is not a real Mera.

I am very much in agreement with Rodney that this appears to be a kit car. However, I have seen some very strange MERA mods in the last few years. Does this car have a MERA sticker on the rear deck lid? If so, pleaase post a picture of it.

If "rep." means "reproduction", then he already knows it's not a real Mera.

Yes rep is reproduction. i know its a kit car on a fiero frame the donar car with the v8 is a fiero also that already had the swap so i can steal parts in fact if u look in the pics its the black fiero in the background. my problem isnt knowing what car i have my problem is knowing a supply for parts for the car. as i said my first fiero/mera another hint that i knew what the car was. so please anyone who has rebuilt 1 let me know a few places u used for parts. and maybe some common problems peps run into doing the v8 swap just so i know ahead of time thnx.

as far as any "Descision" that may be neccessary....in my (humble) opinion as a "Mera" owner with NO sticker and NOT being on or in the Mera Registery.. some may know this but, as long as there is a Definate/tell tail sign that it is not Mera...i am so totally Down. Meras hold there orginality, and the "New Mera Replica's", if you will, get made by big Mike.$$$$$ then, i go work for Mike in Sales. job for me!

you know something a key measurement difference.....or my favorite, the one piece rear cilp. thats easy to see. to a trained eye. ON EBAY! cool? thats my 2 cents.....opinion only.

right on! Rak.already has the 350!.....thats what i am talking A'boot. (sorry, long 1st day back at work finally.
hopefullly Mera7 can help out. you got a good start there. nice find. Got any more details??

my "plan" (if i can keep a job) is to order a whole car form Mera7....seeing that someone(hint,hint) in certian words, gave me an LS engine.... yeah i remember.....kidding?!
that way my so called Mera X would stay stock. and i could still Trailer cars all day, while looking good, at the Track and not worry about smashing Me X.

or .....HIGHJACK ALERT.....no
good show mate
Later

PS come over to the ..."Real Mera in Paradise" thread in the general fiero section. and bring more pictures
