    Very sorry to hear of the loss of your wife.
    I've been reading this section to learn about the things that go bad on these cars.
    I got mine about a mouth ago, its in pretty good shape over all.

    Sounds like your car is coming along. Good luck with the build.

    Awesome, I pulled my 1st engine by my self it was easier than I thought it would be... What did you find out about the rear end ? I think it would take some modding to make it work...

    started mocking the capri seats to fit the mav today. got the earge to hear it run so i put a battery in it put some fresh gas in it couple pumps it was running man those 200's are pretty dependable little motors. i split the exhaust with no mufflers so it does sound pretty good for a 6
