What's inside this old beat up shed?

The shell of a 1990' L+ (nothing left to classify it as a L+ :lol: )



If all goes well, someday this car will be brought back to life... I have a friend who's dad could paint it for me, and I know a kid from school who's dad has a capri wasting away in his backyard...

It would be a nice body for a project..










Worst damage on the car..

Looks solid, not sure how the front end damage would play out.

[eurotiva]

Sway bar alignment would be a little off.

[Damkid]

that damage doesn't look bad enough to really effect anything

Looks like a good builder. One suggestion. Roll it back out, go buy some plastic sheeting large enough to cover that dirt floor wall to wall. Then roll it in.
Depending on how long you plan to keep it in there. If it will be over a year it would be worth it. It will rust. If it has a good gas tank either drop it and drain it or fill it up with gas treated with stabilizer. could save some headaches later. Its nice you have room to store it. Ones like that will be getting harder and harder to find.

I totally agree - get something down on that floor - also if you can put a full tank of treated gas in that will help any rust - mine sat for two years with treated gas in it - fired right up on it as well - I looked in the tank the other day is it still looks bran new -
The damage shouldnt really affect you too much if nothing else you may need to shim the lights and the pannels to get them to lay straight unfortunately I dont think you could pop that out with a porta-power due to the lack of solid metal up front to push against.

Floor is covered with plastic now, and the gas tank is drained

There are a few cars here in North Carolina parked in old sheds for many years.

Talked to my friend who's dad has the capri.. he said it's a 92 or 3 I think and a 5 speed, said it ran before it was wrecked and parked.. He's going to ask his dad if he'd sell any parts off of it.. Also I think If this project goes anywhere I'll most likely get it painted satin black.. or white/black.

but does the capri have a B6T?

That's only a minor detail.

but does the capri have a B6T?

Not sure.. I told him it would be sweet if he could snap a pic of the engine for me or I'll take a drive there myself sometime and see for myself.
