Hello all and thanks for reading!
I am currently in the process of restoring a 1982 Capri GS back to showroom condition. I am starting with a BEAUTIFUL foundation that was black and will be again. The body is straight and there is no rust to be found.
I need help with the following:
1.) Original grill chrome is peeling. My guess is that I cannot find a local guy to rechrome a plastic grill. What can I do? Where can I find a grill?
2.) Taillight fins have shed their black paint. Does anyone know where I can find a nice set of early capri taillights? Quality reproductions? Anyone know how to restore these lights? I think resealing them is beyond my skill level; anyone interested in helping?
3.) I have seen before headlight covers for the four eyed capris...smoke covers....anyone know where I can find these?
4.) Mirrors have shed most of their paint as well. Any help on how to remove mirror from housing for a new finish would be greatly appreciated.
5.) I need some assistance on how to remove the chrome trim from around the windows and off the drip rails. I figure I could jerk them off and break them but what I want is some help on how to do it right. The ones on the car are beautiful and I would like to reuse them.
6.) I have a pair of 1986 capri doors that I bought to install for power windows and door locks. However, I have decided that it would be nice to have power door locks but don't want the power windows. Any idea how difficult it will be to place the power door lock parts in non power doors?
Thats it for now.....Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I think of anything else I will post it. Thank you all for your help!
