Did they also redo the headrests??
Did they also redo the headrests??
Perfect. That's all I can think of right now.
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.

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.

Looks great.
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!

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