1977 MERCURY CAPRI

My first car was a 1977 Merry Capri that I found in the San Mateo County Times newspaper. It was a 2.4 liter 6 cylinder that had a little body damage and a bad rear deferential that I didn't hear when I test drove it because the woman selling me the car made sure the stereo was up loud enough I wouldn't hear the growl. I bought a used read end from a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder from a local recking yard for 200. I bought a shop manual and the basic basic tools I thought I would need and swapped it out changed it out in the scotch hollow apartments parking space. I also did all the body work myself bought a professional Binks spray gun and painted it myself.
