    Default New Four Eyes Delivered(Warning Alot of Pics)!!!

    So Kendall delivered the Capri last night and the Mustang this morning. I have my work cut out for me thats for sure. The Capri is pretty solid, there is one medium and one small hole in the driver floor board. The passenger floor board looks decent. The worst part is that the radiator support needs replaced. The car is mostly complete. The bumper cover is the bad part, I have a OK airdam but it has a tear in it, and I have another that is mostly useless. I also have a non RS bumper that might end up on the car until I can find some better parts. The Mustang is in rough shape, which makes sense because thats the one I wanted most. The driver floor board is shot, but amazingly enough the passenger side is solid. I think the car still has the computer and harness, but the TB and upper intake is gone. The car also needs new doors, fenders, hood, front bumper cover taillights and we will see what else when I tear into it. The hatch thats currently on it does not have the back glass or spoiler, but I have a hatch with the correct three piece spoiler and good glass. But that won't come until I finish the Capri.

    Not all that bad, Capri looks nice. Why do they all have bad core supports? The only bad spot on my 85 is just like the capri you have.

    Actually, they were both rescued out of a junk yard by KCoker. The Capri has a clear title but the Mustang does not have a title. I'm going to talk to a few local wrecker services to see if they can get me a abandoned title. If not I might have to use a titling service. Thats going to be awhile though, I have to finish the Capri first.

    Nice saves none the less. You have a long way to go on both rides, but it will be worth it in the long run when you (and others) enjoy the rides.
