'86 Capr progress

[429bigblock]

The path for my 1986 Mercury Capri 4cyl 4speed has been a long and painful one since I purchased it at the beginning of August 2006. Ive finally spent some time with a friend and got down to it, the interior has been cleaned and peiced back together, there were alot of loose or missing interior pannels. New front pads and a rotor, new soft lines in all 4 corners, new e-break cables from the handle back and a whole lotta bondo to fill in some of the pits from sanding. It wont be getting a full re-paint but it should look better than when I got it.

coming along rather nicely!

update: the paint is on now, just needs a wax. it didn't turn out great but it won't rust anymore and its good enough for a winter car.

The only thing I see under the hood is...




A RED AIR CLEANER !!!!!





Looks good by the way, and a very nice interior.

looks ok for the effort you put in. i agree,should work out ok for a winter ride. looks like somebody did the 'damn,that's not a lugnut!' thing on 3 of your hubcaps! that always makes me laugh. the guy across the street raised hell at his wife because one of her co-workers did that to a 'nutted' hubcap on their van while changing a flat for her at work................2 weeks later he did the same thing on their other vehicle! he twisted a plastic nut off the car while not over 15 feet away from the van he had been bitching about.

I have a set of those hub caps if you are interested, send me a PM.
From a 1-5 scale I would rate them as a 3.5-4.
Little signs of daily use but all the nuts are there and over all are in good shape.
These caps are hard to find, But a good set is even harder to find.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer, but I won't be using these wheels for winter use (I already have a set of steel winter wheels.)
