Since my 86 5.0L Capri arrived in October from Texas (thanks Scott), I didn't want to take it out with the potential changing weather and immediately put it away upon it's arrival.
Well, I finally got to take it out of hibernation today as we had mid 50s temps, so I put the registration paperwork in the window, and took it out to meet some LI buddies. Joe, Dan and myself met at Joe's favorite photo spot where we took a few pics but chatted it up for hours.
Next up for the 86 should be prepping the sun-worn silver paint, bringing this cat to life with fresh new paint (silver as well). I am also mulling over the idea of also adding some pearl to the paint. the red pinstripe will be left off the car, but I also have a set of Jeffrestored Marchal covers that will be right at home on the front of the foglights.
The only other thing the car will need right now, is either a nice cleaning or replacement of the carpet. This car is a good example of how our foxes can last well into the 200K mile range (this car has 181 and shows no sign of weakening).
