Thank you!

I need to take some new pics. I'd like to get it sanded down. I want to buy a sander and strip off most of the paint, fix some problem areas, primer it and get it painted. I know a guy at work who painted his own cars. I saw one of them. I definitely approve. He said he'd do it free.

... and no I'm not letting him PIITB!

Why not? Maybe he'd two tone it??

I found a better front end and hatch!!! It's all on a car with a perfect body in a JY. The guy I'm seeing is friends with the JY owner and he's holding the car for me. I'm taking the hood, fenders, nose, bumper supports, and hatch. It's wingless so when I get my 3-piece, it'll be the only wing to ever be put on.

Right?! There's actually three Capris there. One belonged to the guy I'm seeing.

There's an SVO too.

They started with an '85 carbed Capri and over the course of a few months have had various installments where they drop bolt-on parts into the car and drag test it. It started out as a 15.6 second ride, but now they have it down to 12.6 as an H/C/I car. Its pretty badass and they've been using budget parts the whole time. The last article hints that they are hoping for 11s in the future.

Yea, it's silver like the one you just showed in the junk yard. That's what made me think about it.
