Sorry guys, still working on getting a front end. Parts are hard to come by and when they DO pop up, I'm usually broke.

No luck on a front end. The red one in the jy has a tear in it. Might have to just settle for it, though.

Some idiot cut a hole in the bumper and fed a tow strap through it.

Ok, so tomorrow were going to the junkyard to tear the front end and hood off the red Capri. Assuming it's still there.

Please, let it be there.

Yes . Thats a sweet deal. I'm really looking forward to seeing this car transform back to a Capri. Congrats on the parts.

Since you were unable to source a RS nose then I would go with your idea of putting the Saleen lower with the Capri upper

Really need someone to explain how to convert the wiring from the Aero 3-wire 2-headlight setup to the four-eyed 5-wire/4-headlight setup.
