thread like this make me no longer want to complain about my 89s inperfections.
** 89 LX 5.0 ** blower whine, better brakes, and faded paint
Damn, I just saw the price estimation. I don't mean to come off sounding rude when I say this, but why spend so much on this car when you could pick up a clean 83 for probably 3-4K and then just paint that? I'm guessing you've probably had it a long time, and are attached to it? I know I could never sell my 89. As much as it pissed me off, etc, I'll always have it. Right now, she only needs about 20K to be complete in my mind.

i'd be doing the same thing to it.. tearing it apart and having the body shop strip it. price of transporting it from down south, along with the initial cost of replacement aftermarket body panels would be the same... i just bought this car last year, no attachment factor.. other than i love four eyed stangs..

You are definately my hero as well. About 1 1/2 weeks ago I was working on the Capri (engine) & had to remove the air cleaner w/ the air ducts that run down to the vents in the air dam. Guess what they were hiding??? Severe rust in the drivers side frame rail!!! I've seen normal amounts & I've seen bad...I think mine is the worst I've seen in person so far!! I was not happy!! I don't know what the immediate plans are, other than to pick up that 86 4cyl/auto Capri. I haven't made up my mind if I should transfer things over from the 85 & start that, or just start stripping the 86 to build that one.
looks kinda like my ttop coupe.....lol....lots of work but worth it

That orange reminds me of the mazdaspeed orange I was gonna paint my 89 LX a few years ago. Love it.
A skim coat, some new hinge bushings, pins and the doors done..
all thats left is, a small patch on the drivers door, hinge bushings & pins, misc odds and ends on the floor, patch panel on the lower rear passenger quarter, enlarge a firewall hole, fill a firewall hole, sand/strip existing paint to bare metal (mostly jambs, hatch, and rear bumper cover), rivet in the T-Top frame, roll the fender lips, remove misc trim & windows, primer.. then she's off to paint..

Very cool! I love seeing a car get the works but seriously, would it have been cheaper to buy a mint 5.0 and then build it? Keep us posted because it's going to be insane!
