just picked up this capri from corey. got an absolutely amazing deal on it. plans are full interior, radio, no cage for now. 357 windsor, decent h/c/i combo. pump gas. probably gonna do a c4 trans to try something different. gonna do viper blue pearl paint with black 03 cobra wheels or black saleen wheels and limo tint on the windows. it should be a fun project thatll really turn heads when its done. heres some pics of where im starting at.

Sweet...I wanted that car just could not come up with the loot that quick. Keep us posted on your progress.
 
Hey Dave I Still have a few things for you...

The Keys, and some of the 1/4 window trim. Next time I am out in Macomb County I will give you a call...

Sad to see it go, but Wanted it to go somewhere it would get finished...

Now that I got the Garage Cleaned up I got the Other Project in there so I guess it is time to start a tread...

this is going to be a cool project i also wanted this car but i didn't want to get divorced.i have one major project already and not enough time to take on another.
 
i havent made a ton of progress so far. i do have the whole car in primer right now so everything is the same color before i lay down some paint. i dont really want to start putting it together until i get it painted. that way theres less to tape off and i can get my color on everything. and ive finished putting bondo under the hood to fill in the holes that were welded up. and ive laid the dash harness and got it all situated. oh and corey i gotta meet up with you so i can get those keys. i wanna finish putting the column in but i cant cause its locked and i dont wanna tear it up. ill have pics up as soon as i can get my camera back from my cousins house

that is what i am about to do mine is now in epoxy primer and i bought a natural gas wall heater .i have to install it so that i can paint this thing. i also bought the paint last week i am going with the cyber gray that is on the 2009 corvette zo6. 2 quarts with materials only set me back 225.00 dollars.
 
the two quarts will be more than enough to do the floorboards and the engine bay so that i can run my wiring and start piecing it together .your going about it the right way i can't wait to see it done.
 
yea, ive got viper blue pearl for my color. ive got a gallon of paint so that should be enough to spray everything. i think im going to start focusing on the interior and wiring everything up right now and getting my engine built. i can spray color in the spring
 
i have a rebuilt engine but i need to clean up the accessories and powdercoat the intake and and covers.i am in a hurry i want to work on it this winter.i really want mine to be a roller by the time summer rolls around.i like the viper blue color as well that thing is going to stand out.
 
yea i think the color is gonna looks tits. ive spent hours online trying to find a blue capri with the rims im gonna run and i have yet to find one. i like having something that not everyone has. im gonna run stock efi valve covers but there gonna be completely sanded and painted to match the body color. same with my air cleaner lid. like i said before im not trying to build a race car this time around. just a nice street car with a high pimp factor. this one is gonna be about all the small little details.
