I'd buy a windshield. Mine is cracked near the rear view mirror (of course).

The only recent thing in the media where Scorpio involved was this Extra Gum Commercial.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsihqEM8rtg The funny thing is it is a US Scorpio (because of the headlights), but it has different steering wheel.. I am quite sure that is a MK2 Sierra Sedan, not a Scorpio. h...

Nice! One of my XR's has most of the inner fender metal forward of the strut tower cut out. I was thinking of doing something like this to make that hole do something productive. Thanks for sharing your process and the plans.

What brake calipers are you using in front? Stock replacement or something else? If something else, the Mustang PBR calipers are known to seize because of their phenolic pistons.

That site scrapes for sale ads from other sites and preserves them. I think that is an ad from 2016 or 2017.

"IF VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED IN THIS APPLICATION, SAE 5W-30 OIL IS RECOMMENDED." so you're right, still 5W-30 for XR and Scorpio.
Since this notification came out in 2002, Ford has released other models that require 5W-30, for example my 2013 Ecoboost F150 and my 2018 Ecoboost Mustang.

If you end up having a problem using the two working keys to program your other ones according to the owner's manual instructions, you can always use Forscan to program new ones. https://ohptools.com/blogs/news/how-to-program-your-transponder-keys-using-forscan My coworker and I used it to program k...

Merkur Midwest, Merkur Depot, or Rapido may have a key for sale, as well as any other parts you may need. The locks are very valuable. Don't drill them out!!! I haven't bought from Rapido since the '80's. But Jeff (Merkur Midwest, blugg here) or Mike (Merkur Depot, merkurdriver here) will surely ha...

I have a C3 transmission from my 89 XR. The trans shifted nicely when it was in the car, and the fluid was still red with no burnt smell. There was an aftermarket trans cooler installed in the car. I'm losing my storage space. If you pick it up from me in Baltimore, MD before July 10 you can have it...

I actually managed to work out a trade with someone--a wheel for a center cap. Thanks to Jeff Herson for vouching for me.

Why would I look into someone to do your cap? I misinterpreted your comment as "I will refer you to someone who I already know and trust who does a good job at replicating parts using 3d printing. Since it's someone I know, let me ask them if they can handle wheel center caps and I will get ba...

If all you need is the center cap, I'd see about having someone 3D print one for you. The cap is all I need. I found that some Ford caps fit but they are not flush with the wheel like the others. I am looking to see if I could get someone to turn them down--but then I am not sure how secure they wi...

I am looking to buy at least 1 Rapido/Work wheel center cap. I have 3 center caps and 5 wheels. I would buy the center cap(s) outright or trade you a whole wheel (needs to be refinished) for one center cap. This is what the wheels look like: Screen-Shot-2018-04-11-at-10.39.01-AM.png I have already c...
