Got my ASC Wing mounted on the capri
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Capriman86

Last year I picked up an ASC wing in trade for some capri parts I had.
I wasn't sure if it was the best trade as the wing was VERY VERY rough.

But the parts I traded were a beat up lower air dam and a torn up upper bumper cover which I wasn't going to get crap for selling anyway.

SO after removing 3 layers of paint, bondo, etc etc I got it down to bare rubber/plastic.

I have notched it for the 3rd brake light and will need to get it out in the sun tomorrow to completely settle.

Those with these wings know how flexible they are heated up by the sun.
Those that don't have one, you wouldn't BELIEVE how bendy they are in the sun, and then harden up in the shade....crazy.

I thought I had a pic showing how bad it was before but I can't find it..errr

AND I will get bettter pictures out of the garage, but I just finished last night.

I AM SO HAPPY....

It make the bubble look so much better!!!

The first pic shows it before the wing.

Looks pretty good. You're one of the few Capris I seen that still have the bubble window. As always though, the car looks great.

Looks great!
That's the spoiler that came on the McLaren coupes, right?

I love Capris -- especially with the original bubble window.

Looks great! Any plans on removing the dealership decal?

Ya know, I was going to do that, but I haven't for a few reasons

1 - This is a Capri sold out of Patriot - Lincoln Mercury in 1986
2 - The car has been in New England its whole life.
3 - I actually see people say omg it still has the dealer sticker..LOL
4 - Believe it or not the underneath of that hatch is so rotted its not even funny.

I have another hatch to go on this car but wanted to trial fit it to this one first.

I just haven't swapped hatches because there are no outside signs of rot on it.
Wierd how bad it was and the floors are mint huh?

5. TAKE IT OFF! LOL

You can just stick in on something else and display it at shows. It just looks so out of place on such a CLEAN Capri! God, I need another Capri.

That Capri's frickin nice.I love those.I had a guy pass me here in town with a silver ASC McClaren Capri 6yrs ago.I saw the car 1 time,and never saw it again. Never at a show or just driving around.Rare breed indeed.I tried to catch up to the guy and lost him. Those Capris are sweet you just do see many of them period.

Jeff, things are lookin' great! You're right, I can't believe there's a lot of rot on that Capri. No one would ever guess. Good luck with the hatch replcement.
