1985 T-top Mercury Capri

[Sonia]

Hi everyone,
I have had my capri for about 3 years now, I wish I knew more about it. It's a V-6 3.8 automatic. I want to know about the value of it, good places to get parts, I want to fix it up as much as I can, but my personal automotive skills are few and I am limited on money. The things I need to replace most are the T-top seals, I live in a place where it rains a LOT! It's was beat up a bit by the previous owner, some body damage on the passenger side and lack of maintenance. Oil leeks, back hatch doesn't stay up when opened, probably should replace the radiator, temp gage doesn't work. I'm sure there are a few other things to be replaced. Everything is original... push button radio still works ( no CD player installed). There is a strange little flashlight thing that you can pop out close to the rearview mirror. It's a very fun car!
Thanks for any helpful tips or info,
sonia
