Maintain Your Old Ride
We can all save a ton of cash -- and learn a lot about our vehicles at the same time -- by buying some tools, a set of Factory Shop Manuals, and doing our own automotive maintenance, such as oil changes, filter changes, general battery and tire condition,
It helps to have a Code Reader/Scanner -- for diagnostics.
The hardest part about doing your own work is LEARNING TO IGNORE all the self-proclaimed wizards that tell us that ALL SORTS of power and performance will bless your ride if you would just defeat and/or eliminate the emissions equipment. DON'T DO IT !!
An older car or truck can be restored and/or upgraded with parts from later years or aftermarket parts that were not available at time of manufacture.
The 95 MERC was restored/modified with the purpose of building a high-speed, long-distance cruiser that has a plenty of comfort and safety built in to the original car, with improvements coming from an upgraded suspension, transmission, and drive train.
