take a magnet with ya to cheack for body work,look at the torque boxes,etc
as for the auto.....1st thing is get a big *** trans cooler,then put in a transgo shift kit and while you changing the rear seal install a new stall convertor and watch those 5 sp cars drop like flies

Ya the pump checks out, the rear main is not as bad as he stated, and I am not going to fool with the A/C not for a while anyways.
I am hoping to take it for a test drive tonight or middle of next week.
As for it being a auto, I don't mind, because this will see DD status, my capri is for fun and its a stick.
As for it being a LX, that is a good thing in my book, because I belive I will not get reamed so badly for insurance being I am only 19, Im placing that call on monday. Also it is fully loaded as a LX, is power windows, locks, tilt wheel, cruise control, lumbar support, has the map light, cargo cover in the rear, grey cloth seats "almost mint too", remote hatch and fuel door.
So the only thing that needs work is the headlight and paint. Anyone know how much the basic replacement headlights are and where I can find them?
