Damn this is looking good. Making me want a Capri now. My buddy has an 86 all redone with a stroker making 800+. He said it's all mine for 12K.

The Capri is looking good. Hope you can sort out all your EFI/Wiring stuff. Definitely my least favorite part of cars.
If it's done well, then buy it, sell off the 800+ engine and replace with something a bit more streetable. You will probably be $$ ahead in the long run. Capri parts are getting harder and harder to come by. There are some still out there, but the fenders, quarters, front and rear covers, and hoods are really starting to go up in price if you can find them in good condition.

I did some custom work on the gauge cluster, installed a satellite radio dock and I removed the 88 warning lights and installed the warning lights from a 80 (it looks better than the 86 style) it looks crooked but its not

You can always ohm the wires out vs ground and power with no battery before plugging the A9L in.
Thats a handsome sum for an A9L! I only paid $100 for mine. Heck I think my cobra ECU was $200

The roof, the roof, the roof is on....
Good work with the 5.0 EEC4 too Joe. I knew you'd give it righteous re-alignment. The TPS and sensor changes, meah! just how things go.
