New Project! 1979 Capri RS

[niksevig119]

Hey hey,
Back with another Capri project. I had my eye on this for awhile. It was on Ebay, but all the way on the west coast, so seemed like a long process and i just couldnt wrap my head around getting it to New england in the most cost effective way. Fast forward about 8 month later, i see the car in the background of a photo on instagram. I messaged the seller, he came down on price, which freed some room for transport!

Its here, and its been getting some love! Ive been documenting it on my youtube channel.

I hear ya. It takes some getting used to. Slowly wetsanding the krylon off the hood. Interior is already real nice and clean. Just gonna throw a 302/t5 in there and let the wife drive it!

It's all good Bud! I just have never been a yellow fan. I know lots of people like it, I tried really hard, years ago I bought a 98 Cobra in Chrome Yellow. Really enjoyed the car, was a lot of fun. Had it for several years, but just never loved the yellow.

Interior looks to be in great shape! Nice way to start off the project!
