Re: My Swap :(

the frame is bent pretty bad. If you look at the picture with the hood up, the strut tower is pushed into the brake master cylinder. At minimum, it will need to be put on a frame machine and attempted to be straightened. Unfortunately, it's cheaper to pull the engine/trans and put it into something else. I've got a 1983 Capri RS that's sitting with no engine, or I am attempting to locate a hardtop thirdgen.

As for it being for sale, I've put a few posts in the classifieds section. Engine/trans/ECU/Harness are pending a sale right now.
