Hey, that sounds fun! I am all the way down in Columbia, IL, but I think I could convince my wife that a road trip would be fun! I am available the 14 - 16 (unless my engine parts are here). Let's see if we can work something out.

Great Tony, I can't wait. What engine parts are you waiting for? If they come in maybe I can come to your garage and scrape a few knuckles with you!Get back to me.Rocky

[tonlaw71]

Nothing major, just your basic tune-up parts. Valve cover gasket, plugs and such. Unfortunately, no garage, so I have to do everything in the apartment parking lot.    

I just got this Capri a few weeks ago and am just starting on bringing her back to her former glory!

Friday the 15th would prob be the best day for me. The boss (wife) has already given the thumbs up!  :cool:

I'll keep you posted.

This weekend would be perfect since we have warm weather.

Well I have a nice big garage and friday seems fine for whatever we decide. Columbia is a long way away,I just map quested it.Maybe we could meet inbetween, Peoria or something.As for this weekend I have to work untill 4 or so both days but I am up for something sunday afternoon/night if you want Dr Bob.Get back to me.Rocky

[tonlaw71]

We just moved to Illinois from Nevada a few months ago, so I haven't been anywhere other than here and St. Louis, so if you think there would be something neat to do in Peoria, that works for me. Hopefully a few more people can make it.    

Also, I have a couple repair questions you may be able to help me with. I need to take some pics first and hopefully get those up tomorrow.

[drbob]

Well tonlaw, I guess we will be seing you at the 10th Annual Mid-America Capri Gathering in northern Illinois next summer.

An end of year cruise sounds absolutely delightful.  all kidding aside, you guys enjoy yourselves.  I am stuck working and still pretty wiped out from the PA gathering.  I will definately have my car back together and running for the MACG, but the end of year cruise I am out.

[tonlaw71]

Hey drbob, I'm gonna give it one heck of a try. Hopefully, by then my Capri will be in much better shape and I won't be embarassed to be seen with all the other beauties. She still needs a lot of work. I'm just working on getting all the mechanicals back in shape and then I'll start on the body, paint, seats and a few other cosmetic issues. Hope to have at least the body cleaned up and new paint by the MACG.

I could do a Saturday drive.  This weekend would have been better, but it's kind of late to get it together now.  Who knew we would have this great weather.  Let me know what you guys decide.

[drbob]

87 degrees today.  I went for a ride and got to tag another capri.  A white with grey lower body cladding

[Rocketman]

Pictures? Did it have a body kit on it?

[drbob]

no body kit.  It was like the aussie base model for 89.
