Without further adieu...
The RottinMera after a good washing
I finally got a chance to give her a quick bath. It is amazing what just a little attention will do for a car. Over all I am content with my purchase. There will be a few things to sort out such as the typical glue release on the console. I also would like to add a trunk release. Here is how my morning assault panned out:
Prewash she looks pretty good
Two bar grill - pure MERA
Love the rear end...
Correct MERA 1 lenses
If you look closely you can see where the "MERA" letters were
Dirty headlight covers and a few chips but nothing major
Correct mirrors, both power and both fully functional
Seats were covered very early in their life so they are fantastic
Dirty, Dirty, Dirty
No cracks anywhere
Lots of surface grime...magic eraser will take care of that!
Correct rear grill and they are sharp! I'll get some more detailed shots of the edges...
Dirty on this side as well
Beechwood glovebox....Bonus!!!
Not as dirty but I will clean it none-the-less
Unused spare and jack...still hase the pliable rubber band on it
Yuch! Purple Power and a toothbrush to the rescue!!!
Yep...MERA 8088 alright
Lots of original stuff saved by the PO came with it
All opened up ready for the assault to commence
And after the bath, some Purple Power, a vacuuming, and some interior cleaning this is how she turned out:
Can anyone run a CARFAX for me?
Build date or AC service date??? Cold AC!
Now that's a clean engine bay!
Clean interior...needs mats, some glueing, and a new aux gauge case
Good tread in front...
...and in rear
The RottinIndy, RottinMera, and Rottin4.9GT (RottinOEM88GT not in pic...its behind me)

Thanks guys. Hope you enjoyed the shots. That was less than 2 hours of a clean up. The car is really in great condition! The PO was really particular about the maintenance and it runs smooth as butter. I have found some tiny stuff but nothing major. I can't wait to clean the paint and wax it!
