First drive.....

[91trunk]

Took the Capri to work so my PDR guy could look at a few dings/dents she has. I figure he can make them look good enough until I decide if I want paint it. I snapped a few shots before I put it back in the garage.





This pictures shows the discoloration on the front fender. I looks like rust, but it's not. It looks like the paint was burnt some how. I'm going to have my detail guy see if there is something he can do with a wheel. The guy caught a parking block with the lower valance and fender extension on that side too. I've got a new extension. If I decide to paint her, I'll make it all look perfect.



I need some ideas for plates, so far I've come up with:

"BUBLBCK"
"4IDMERC"
"86BUB L"
"86CAPRI"
"8CAPRI6"
"LST4EYE"

I like the car, just trying to fit the plate. Hate me some 10 holes though...

 

[orangejuiced86]

Need to get some 2.5" exhaust tips and get rid of those tips.

 

[Fryguy302]

It looks cool as hell, I had one just like that. You might be able to just wheel the white part and paint the charcoal part.

My dad has an 83 Capri there really cool cars!

 

[Speedy]

That is a nice ride! I always like the lines on the Capri over the mustang besides the bubble hatch.

BOOTYBK
KPRMIUM
GOTBUBL
RARBACK
RARBUBL

I was trying to figure out how to make bubble trouble work

[svtserpent]

Indeed, those are so 90s :lol: How about BUBLBUT for a plate? Always like those Capris.

lmfao that was good

 

[mikesfastss]

Plate for you? BALICKR

I think it fits

 

[Rumblestrip]

I know what paint scheme would look good on that, keeping it mostly white, and it's "race inspired". As for the plate, think early 90's GOTBACK

Thanks, if "OJ slave to Raj's Projects Custom Paint" isn't busy this Winter I might have you shoot the bottom for me.

The bubble was the only reason I bought it. I love the bubble, it matches the flared fenders, it's a keeper.

I'm looking for some narrowed and widened 10 holes just for you Denny

Working a deal with Asian Rob, we will see what happens. Those are Motorsport 2 1/4 pipes! Hot Rod shit

Wanna buy it?

I might go that route for the gray. The White is 27yrs old and has it's flaws, but I knew that and I'm fine with it.

Your actual plate?

Well, how did it drive?

Like a 27yr old Fox-body. :lol:

It's slow, hell my Eco-boost F-150 would put bus lengths on it, but it's cool. I can't wait to pop the t-tops out and cruise to work. I bought it for a sunny day Summer cruiser. We'll see just how long I keep it.

Already tried. It's either taken or not an approved plate.

 

[riche]

Awesome. I have been looking for a t-top capri out here and no such luck. I would leave it two tone.

 

[Golden]

Sweet ride, Matt. As for the staining, I would try clay then a wax with a cleaner in it.
