You friends with the original owner? If so, he/she's gotta be PISSED they got rid of that thing for chump change!

No he was the second owner. He just had it sitting there.

Well leaks fixed, car running, all that is left to do is insure it and drive.

Going on the road the 12th

Congrats. Any updated pictures on the final status of the car?

Pretty much the same as it was in the fall. Will have new pictures in some time after getting it out of the driveway.

New plates are in my honda, insurance is on the merc as well. Just waiting for the work day to end and tag her up for some test driving. Should be fun.

updates and pics would be cool

Tonight in my driveway

From todays drive of 50 miles I have recorded the fallowing. Ideal has smoothed out tremendously from what it was. Brakes need to be bled or replaced. Air bag light indicated thermo fuse needs to be replaced. 1st gear to second is rough.

Other than those it drives well.More pictures tomorrow.

Warn enough yet for the top down?

Flip it and make some money.

Today is a high of 58 which comes more to 63 so today will be top down maybe with heat on full but still with it down.

Not sure I can do that right now, I am enjoying it to much. :driving:

I just came across this thread. What a great project! Such an unusual car (I don't remember ever seeing a ragtop Capri), and you are doing a great job with it. In for updates!

sometimes I think I should buy a piece of "junk" and work on it and learn more about how cars work.
