And is that 2 magnets I spy? You are today's winner! I've started to get a nice collection already. At least this one is very relevant to my car. On my last invoice there was a hand written note from rockauto asking for more details on the car. They've asked to do a feature when it's up & running so I'm really excited.

Took off the external fuel pump & the inline filter. I'd say these are oem parts by the look of them. Inline pump works but the gauze inside could be split so I'm going to order a new one. Also put some bilt hammer deox in the tank for a clean out. I'll leave it in there until tomorrow then swill it out.

Nothing to report on the car yet as I'm on holiday. I did join an fb page for specific ford ltd's & mercury marquis, based in America. I had a message from a guy claiming to have owned the car in the UK. I messaged him & he sent me some details & pics of the car when he first collected it in 2018. This is his message. It has quite interesting history Original owner was in the military from Oklahoma. It came in to UK via raf greenham common in 1989. Was used till 91, taken off the road then put into storage in 97. where it has been until 2018. I did quite a bit of work to your car to get it running, it had been sitting in a warehouse when I bought it. I had it running after I went through the whole fuel system. I removed the tank had it refurbished fitted a new intank pump and sender unit and a new injector. It ran OK but not perfect. There is an external pump aswell which might have given up so try that first. These are the pics.

Rimscarnated are based in Chippenham I think. I know a few people who have used them with positive feedback.

I found the original ford dealership badge in the car. Fred Jones ford dealership are based in Oklahoma confirms the smog sticker for Oklahoma in the windscreen making the car built & owned in one state before export to the UK. It turns out Fred Jones was the biggest ford dealership in America at one point & is still in business today.

I sorted through all the spares today & other than brake pads & rubber brake lines everything is here to sort the chassis. I played around inside the car & noticed 2 scary things. The heater control hot/cold lever is stuck in the middle & under the bonnet it looks like the heater matrix pipes have been removed! Also grabbed a pic of the oem wheels & the P slot hubcaps. The wheels are a massive 14x5 et28. I really like the hubcaps so I think eventually I'll get the wheels banded & refit the hubcaps & a fat sidewall tyre.

I've always preferred the quirky so this was definitely my cup of tea. I've also always preferred 4 door cars, even back in the day I had onions & Belmonts even 4 door skylines! With all the bits in the boot chassis work should be straightforward it's the engine that makes my bum squeak a bit. We'll see though, I'm just going to do a bit at a time & see how I go.

That's great info thanks. I'm thinking I might need some engine/smog stuff to cure the fueling issue I have.

Is Rockauto the best source for parts or is there a European supplier ? What's the average delivery cost & travel time please? I think I'll be buying loads for the soon.
