Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] My new baby has arrived

Body:
Congrats! any condition these cars are worth owning. If you want to drive
it, the best thing to have is one with miles.

Funny but stock capri's generally make better parts cars than real asc's.
Seems all of the asc parts don't stay mint in cars of "parts" status.

I can tell you the speaker covers are supposed to be a thin black cloth.
I'm not sure if yours are just missing the cloth or have been changed as
mine have never been off the car.

Tell us more, is it an auto or a 5 spd?

I have some parts and access to some others

For instance...
I have a close to NOS carb for an 84 (only difference is that it has
adjusters on the baseplate and the choke is adjustible, and a E4ZE tag)
I bought it NOS and found it wasn't my carb causing the problem...OH yeah and make sure to register it with Sandy!
