The restoration of a mera

[Mera87]

Ok So before I go into my car I'll share some history about the mera...

In 1986 a company called corporate concepts had come up with a rebody for the Ferrari 308, they had measured all there options as far as what car to put it on, (corvette MR2 firebird etc) after trail and error on a number of different cars the Fiero was chosen for the base of the concept,, Corporate concepts than approached GM with their project and a deal was struck. GM (while never endorsing the project) Had made the conversion into a dealer option for 1987-1988 fieros. The body was first put on a 1987 GT and than in 88 it was put onto an 88 formula for cost effectiveness, the option was only put onto new cars and was an option that brought the car up to a $26,000-$28,000 car just shy of a base model vette of its time, after some time Ferrari had gotten wind of this and ended up suing corporate concepts and GM. there suite on corporate concepts put the company out of business and the suite on GM caused a lot of trouble for the fiero (thus one of the fall points to the car) after only 247 Meras were produced the rest of the bodies waiting on donner cars were destroyed and supposedly (along with the molds), To this day 308 replicators use the sae concepts as the MERA only changing a few small things..

My car is a Mera body that has been placed onto an 86 Chassis, I really don't know why it was done but it runs pretty good just needs a few things addressed on it...
