My cursory search of Amazon yielded, nada. I've been quite busy though, I'll put more effort into the hunt when I've got the time.
Drove out to Pennsylvania earlier, met with Mr. Rocketman himself today. Super cool guy, can't thank him enough for the chassis donation. Seriously man, thanks a million. Kudos on the Pink Floyd shirt btw. I spent years playing bass in a Pink Floyd cover band in the Philly area. Love it. That '94, absolutely gorgeous.
Anyways guys, just a couple pictures. I finally finished blasting apart that transmission yesterday. I'll make a write up soon. It really wasn't that hard, once I figured out the whole roll-pin situation. I've got SO MANY Capri parts floating about. I really need to invest in some storage totes, because it's frankly ridiculous at this point. All of the engine parts, all of the transmission parts, all of the parts I needed to take out to get those two out. Now I've got a second chassis, which means I'll be storing a second interior, a hood, trunk, fenders, etc. Not to mention, I still want to pull out the interior on the good chassis, now that I have a good chassis, so I can rip out the sound-deadening and seam weld it. That might need to wait until I get the thing running and driving first. I honestly don't think I have room to keep all these parts. They sure as shit won't fit in the car lol.
This is apparently the only picture I took during the remaining teardown on the trans. That's the primary and counter shaft gear sets. I'll get more when I write it up.
'Ol Rusty. I'm going to strip off anything I could see ever needing, and then I'll likely scrap what's left. If any of you guys have a strange need for an unimaginably rusty '91 Capri husk, come and get her.
And here's Rocketman's immensely generous donation, with the Titanic's hat on. There's a couple spots where rust is starting to form on the floor, but it's a joke compared to the white car. Once the lift in the garage is free, I'm going to push her in, cut out the spots, and put some plates in. Definitely want to stop the cancer now, seeing how bad it'll get.
I'm toying with the idea of swapping over the hood/trunk/headlight covers, etc. Rocking a two-tone red and white look. Thoughts?
Just wanted to add. Now that I've got a chassis worth a damn, it's game on. I'll be busy with work soon, but that also means I'll have money to throw at any stupid problems with the Capri(s?) that pop up, too. I hope, and plan, to have this thing on the road by the end of September. If the machinist still hasn't done the work to my block, I'm just going to take it back and do what I can to do the machine work myself. That's literally the only thing holding me up now. Just need to reassemble the engine and transmission (no big deal, right?), swap over the harness, install them both, and then put all the crap back in the engine bay. It COULD be done in a long weekend, but we'll see. Stay tuned for more.
