Project "Face Off": 1980 Mercury Capri aero to four eye Progress Thread!

Yep Frankenstang got my old steering column & wheel from my 87 that where just taking up space in my garage. I upgraded mine to a tilt column and the sexy 3 oval/ SVO style wheel. Just for general knowlege this wheel was avaliable in Capri & Mustangs 84 - 86 not sure what other Ford products.

I passed up one of those in the jy because i had no clue how rare/expensive those had become. I hate myself.

I think I may have changed my mind on how I want to paint the car. I think I'm going to do a **** load of body work then get it painted professionally. Either gloss black or some kind of blue. I'm thinking maybe Twilight or Sonic blue.

:scratch:

A Sonic blue Mercury Capri... :drool:

Hey Lynn, drive that thing out here and I'll drop a shade of blue on it that will have you drooling from multiple locations! :D
 
Sonic blue is nice but too loud for my tastes.

May I suggest a similar but more understated shade, such as Toyota's Blue Ribbon Metallic or Chevy's Arrival Blue Metallic

Toyota:

Edit: removed picture of chevy because the color is way crappier than i remember it from when i worked for a chevy dealer back in 02-03. The toyota blue is still sweet.

I don't care how pretty Chevy or Toyota blues are I will NOT shroud my Mercury in it! :fuss:

:D

Gonna stick with Ford colors. :nice:
A Twilight blue Capri even better...:)
Yeah, that would be pretty sweet. :scratch:
