One of the goals for 2015 was to eliminate the nasty oil leak, I had discovered that some one in the cars past had over tighten the valve covers and had broken off the top front tab on BOTH valve covers!
My biggest worry was that I would not be able to locate replacements as the design was changed before the 84 model year and there was no after market re-makes.
Fortune smiled on me in November of 2015 and I found a pair of covers from an 83 Mustang GT that someone on FourEyedPride was selling. So in February my son took them to Tucson where he is going to school for his ASE Certification and installed them.
He also did a rebuild of the front end components, a-arm bushings, ball-joints, steering rack, new struts and shocks and front end alignment.
My son completed his ASE certification and as agreed the Capri is now his car. As an additional gift I helped him get a new set of tires for the car as well.
On April 17th at an All Mustang car show celebrating the Anniversary of the Mustang, my son was able to enter the Capri and won an award, the first for any of our cars at any show.
Even though the Capri has changed hands, my son has decided to join the military. So for a short time the car will still be in my possession till he returns
To finish out the year in November, I entered the RS in a "Mustang and All Ford Powered Car Show". There I was awarded 1st Place for "All Ford Powered after 1980
