Default "Back in the saddle"

If all goes well this week with financing, I should be taking delivery of this fine automobile on Thursday. The former owner is the head advertising sales guy for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. The car is absolutely immaculate. Rebuilt turbo, new clutch, new A/C, perfect interior, and an engine so clean you could eat off it (seriously). Ran strong, no hiccups whatsoever.

On a side note...who wants to buy a Focus?

Pretty much. It has an aftermarket mechanical boost controler, Centerforce Stage 2 clutch, and a Steeda handle on the factory Hurst shifter. Other than the K&N conical air filter, its pretty much bone stock.

The only thing is the original SVO hatch was replaced with a LX hatch due to the infamous rust issues a previous owner had not taken care of. If anyone knows where I may be able to find a Mercury Capri "bubble" hatch, I'd really like to find one.

Its an 86. Realistically I know I won't be able to find the Capri hatch, so the next best thing is to find a SVO double wing. The only problem is the upper portion likes to sag, unless you get a fiberglass reproduction.
