Re: [ASC McLaren ] Just bought a 1985 Mercury Capri


Heh, if you look on my site, you can see my currently thrashed asc
Coupe. I bet mine's worse than yours :-)

...and you don't know half of what its gonna cost you either....I
had very little to start with and for the most part had to buy the
complete conversion package....I bought the parts like 8 years ago
and I'd hate to think what they go for now or even if they are still
available. Last time I talked with Hank (Harry, Henry? wtf is his
real name anyways?), he said that he had EVERYTHING, that is
everything except the rear Kenwood speakers/covers. Somebody
mentioned that he no longer had the rear spoilers now...so the parts
may be drying up.

...hope I didn't scare you. It would be nice to see another coupe
back in shape again.

-Mike
