Re: [ASC McLaren ] Need a parts car Capri

Here are some good pictures:

The blister on the fender and the quarter end right before the
door. The guys at Ford were smart. I'm sure they didn't want to
make any more parts than they needed to.

To be honest I always thought that they were special until I had to
replace the passenger door. My dad went down to the wrecker and
they gave him a Mustang door. I was away and came back to find it
on the car and looking just fine. I asked where he got the Capri
door and he said it was from a Mustang. So I spent 15 minutes
looking at both sides but couldn't find any difference. The
driver's door was from a Capri for sure because it had the correct
door tag.
