Default How many would like to see this...

A long term thread of me doing a complete tear down and build up of my '86 Mercury Capri. Removal of every single part... nuts, bolts, body panels, drivetrain, interior, etc. Body work, paint, engine bay, underside. Then build it into a 500 horse street legal car. This car will be deconstructed entirely... if it can be unbloted and removed , it will be taken out, cleaned and painted or replaced with a new part. There will be lots of pics posted on a regular basis and I'll welcome all questions and comments. Budget is $30,000 and the project has already begun... I'm about half way throughwith lots of pics just waiting to be posted.

I agree--go for it. I might actually learn things from watching you takeyour car apart that I can put towards tearing my car down and redoing it.
