    here's some pics from the first good cleaning i gave her... i've since turned the scoop back the right way. I'll try to snap a few better pics tomorrow.

    edit: to adjust the handbrake on it, do i have to remove the center column? if so is there a way to do this without massive amounts of swearing, sweating, and more swearing?

    actually the hatch was replaced at some point, along with the rear light assembly. I'll eventually find a spoiler but for now my main concern is just getting it licensed. All i need to replace now are two flexible front brake hoses, tighten the handbrake up and weld up some makeshift rear exit exhaust. Right now it just has turndowns. Hopefully i'll have some custom widened trx's for the back soon!

    And yeah, I got it with the hood scoop on backwards. It was the first thing i fixed!

    Thumbs up

    If not, try readjusting your rear brakes. Often the car's rear brakes aren't replaced as often as the fronts. They useally last longer then the fronts.

    here's some pics from today. I got the wheel/tire package put on 3 weeks ago. Soon to have a mac catback system come in the mail. That's the last thing that's left on my "to do" list that inspection gave me when I failed. Hopefully i'll get it in before wintertime so I can actually drive this thing!

    Hey,

    To be honest, I've been wondering the same thing ever singe I dragged it out this summer... no gold trx's, interior not normal, chrome door handles... The hatch and front and rear clips were replaced, and the car was re-sprayed. Something's fishy. Here's a pic of my tag, no sign of CAT anywhere. So, what exactly do I have here?? Please tell me it's not a 4.2 in there lol.

    dude you are missin a few key blk magic items like for instance the seats which can be explained your locks and handles should be blk, no spoiler,no gold and blk grill which yours could have been painted,woodtone gauge fasia it should be a swerrely blk also, but what also bugs me is your body molding has the painted gold lines which is blkmagic look on the buck tag mine is located in front of the radiator i beleve top right it will say cat if its really a blk magic.good luck.

    Ya 85bubblebackboy got it. The buck tag will be up on your radiator, usally on the drivers side, sometimes up top, down behind the headlights, under a support braket. You just have to look hard some times. You may want to post that pic over in the decoding section. With a build date of 06/82 its definatly a 5.0, but it might be an 83 B/M. Witch if someone didn't like the bubble hatch means they swapped it for the flat type and that why your missing decals Same with the front end, the interior however is still not right.....

    Hey! looks like you need a couple of cat head decals for that ride! I just posted a couple of NOS decals on eBay this weekend. I don't think I can post a link here, but if you look on eBay I'm sure you'll find them.

    I think the interior code on the standard bucket seats for the black magic would of been PA. The one on the door tag is DA.

    Car lookin pretty damn nice. keep up the good work.

    It isn't one (see the Decoding forum) but it seems the car may have been ordered with the Gold Accent Stripe option that was standard on the Black Magic. In '82 it was optional on the base Capri and the Capri L.
