- Getting back on a project I started over 25 years ago. Taking a look at some parts and items I brought home for this 1984 Mercury Capri RS T-Top, from where it is stored..
- Jak na to + styl
Looking forward to this build Kreg, very exciting.
Thanks, next move after coming home will be on the frame rack and alignment rack at work to verify all is good before I go any farther. Will be posting video with the frame check, hope my guy at the Body Shop don't mind being in a video lol..
So awesome, LOVE the intro 😁👊
Thanks Kells, worked hard on that one lol
Well it looks like you got your bucket list project good luck 👍👍
Right, it will be for sure if I can finish it lol
It will be nice build I always like mercury my friend had cougar nice car have fun.
Was always a fan myself, love the cougars most any year, my old service manager had a white 69 with a 302, cool car..
10:42 very interesting. Looks like a lot of work, but fun I’ll Tag along for the Rebuild 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thanks, I have been wanting to get back on this for years... It's time.. Have a good one!
Oh man, this is going to be cool! I am so glad to hear that you worked all the parts and bagged them all up. I learned that lesson a long time ago when I started working on cars. Lol.
Thanks Brian, I was re-doing my 85 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe years ago and threw it all in a box, that was a hard lesson learned, ended up selling the car before it was finished.. One I wished I had kept.. Have a good one!
MMMM venison! Nice project you have there Kreg. I have a 1988 Pontiac Firebird with a manual trans and hard top. Needs attention. i'm glad A10's are on our side!💪Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mark, I'm a fan of the F-Body Trans Am, cool car.. For sure love the A-10's, they fly over every other day, this was higher than usual, Yes I'm glad there a product of the USA.. Pure Awesome!!
Looking forward to this series Kreg. 🤜🤛
Once I get it home, will be heading up to the body shop for a frame check. Looking forward on getting back on this.. Have a good one Tim!
Really cool project Kreg! Love those valve cover gaskets too. NAPA sells them and I got a pair to put on my Fairlane. Zero leaks ever since.👍
Thanks, I have a set of those gaskets on the Merc in the garage, there bulletproof!
Cool stash adds! LOL. Thats an awesome project. You don't see many Capri out there. It must be tough finding parts. Can't wait to see the progress on this car.
Thanks Alan, This is why I like these, seems like so many Mustangs, Camaros and Trans Am's out there. I have most parts for it, still in search for some and some extra money lol.
One of three or four of my favorite cars growing up. Liked the subtle styling differences of the Capri more than the Mustang. Got a chance to drive a 1986 ASC/McClaren Capri once. Became a total car nut on that day.
Nice! When I was in High School my friends brother owned a white 1986 with orange stripe ASC Capri T-top with tinted windows... Was in love with that car
Took a long time for me to like the foxbody's but now I'm a huge fan. I'm really looking forward to see how you did your hinges, door jams and t-tops on the current build! Can we anticipate an update video soon? Love your work my bro
Thanks Steven. for me growing up in the 80s Foxbodys were the boss, Grand Nationals were too expensive lol. I have some more goodies on there way to help on the Mustang, next video I am cutting off hatch and installing T-Roof, trying to figure out how to make some workable hatch lift struts.. Still thinking in that one lol. Have a good one Steven!
I haven't seen a Capri in years. Always thought a notchback done up like one would be neat, and stylistically more fitting. I had to put my project car away in storage last year after moving and no longer having a garage. Good luck on the build Kreg!
Was always a fan of the Capri's, this is my 4th one that I have owned, my first was a 82, fun car.. That sucks you had to shelf your project.. That's why I am just getting back on this really had no place to put it, still really don't, figured was time to bring it home.. Have a good one Dan!
Cool project
Thanks John, I hope to get farther this round..
I have a 81 Mercury Capri as well t-top I will be putting this car together very soon
Awesome! I always like the body, just different then the everyone has a Mustang thing. You should send some pics.. Have a good one Tim!
Awesome! I’ve been struggling with my models, and taking time to work on my 2+2. It’s been sitting for over 10 years, on and off. Good luck with your project! I’m looking forward to seeing you working on it
Thanks Steven, what year is the 2+2? I have been wanting to get back one this one for some time. Hopefully I can get on it home next week.
@@kregskorner8851 it’s an 86. There was just over one thousand made
Cool project, if you need any pictures of my 84 RS, let me know. Mine is Silver with Canyon Red interior. Very few options on mine. I've had it for 40 years last month. Still have the window sticker. That black on the lower body was most likely added later as, I believe, all RS's regardless of body color had a lower body that was split by a horizontal stripe around the whole car, with silver on the bottom. If you want to return it to stock looks, that is!
Thanks Joe, good to know. I was looking at the bottom of the doors and I see there is a orange, red stripe on the inside of the doors that was never removed when they painted the bottom.
@@kregskorner8851 That's the color! I have an 84 Capri Brochure also, that describes the car.
Hey Kreg
I'm Brian from Pennsylvania just like to let you know if you get around Pennsylvania May 31 -June 2 is a big Ford Nationals big swap meet and car show love the Capri you may be able to find parts for the Capri
Hey Brian, Thanks for the info on this. That's the big Carlile show! I would love to go to that, wife and I were talking about heading that way.. Might have to hit it next year due to work schedules. If we head out that way will let you know..
Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Good luck
For sure, was a complete car when I started, with no engine or thans. Cleaning out space in garage to get it home..
What kind of glue will you use on this kit, Kreg? 😃
Just kidding, I admire someone with the skill and patience to undertake a project like this.
It seemed like there has been a slight pause in your video releases .... so I was guessing from our conversation in Taylor you might be doing some 1:1 work on the Capri.
How's going Ray? This take a special glue lol, this was a complete car when I started other then engine and trans. I have been waiting for some supply's to get back on my Monogram Mustang build, plus weather has been nice and getting parts rounded up for the Merc. Have a good one Ray..
A bit of 1:1 scale modelling AND an A10 just to really make the vid
