    Thanks guys. The headrests were still in good shape. They just had to dye the netting which was a little faded.

    Dadsccat. Nice work on the car. Good to see a fellow Canadian restoring one of these cars. I found a CC in BC and I am working out a deal to buy that to do a restoration project also. Are you doing the body work yourself?

    Thanks 86caprirs. No the restoration is 100% pro and thus very expensive. Car is going to be original with the exception of a new Ford Racing 340 HP crate engine anderformance dual exhaust. Should be done within the next month. Very excited. Can't wait.

    Default Update, its been a while

    Here are some progress pics. Starting to see some detailing. The shop did the tail lights in gold but I believe they should be black. Hmmm, I guess I need some feedback on this.Name:  image.jpg

    I believe the tail lights would have originally been black as you mentioned, but IMHO the gold looks pretty cool!

    I would install them in the cover as they are now and see what you think. The Capri is really looking good!

    I understand that too. You might consider an extra set of tail lights painted with the black so you could swap them out if/when the desire strikes you!

    A week or so away from completion and getting very excited. Almost a year in the making. Engine running final assembly happening as we speak. Will wait for pics until It's finished and do a full array for everyone's perusal.

    Looks Great!

    Although not correct, I still think the gold pinstriped tail lights would look Killer!
