Unfortunatly these two have much less in common than it appears. 
AWD system from Siera, built by Fergusson Formula Development, and other 
cool stuff like rally parts can't be fitted to Mercur. Siera roll cage 
doesn't fit Mercur either. European car featured conversion to Cosworth.
That is about it.
