Re: '88 F*rd Festiva Autocross/Track/Daily Driver Build

I never was able to find a steering hub adapter to fit the Capri column, so I dug through the scrap bin and found an old hub leftover from helping a friend install new hubs. It had the correct ID to fit the steel insert from the Capri wheel. I bought a $8 hub for a Miata on ebay to get the plastic trim piece.










I still need to make a trim piece to cover between the hub and column. And swap in a better dash pad, and windshield, and door panel...




We always close the shop on the week of the 4th so I used that time to clear out the back stall the Capri was stuck in so I could paint the stall and install new led lights.






I finished prepping the bolt on parts by wetsanding them with 500 after a covering them with dry guide coat.








I went ahead and pulled the trunk and convetible top storage lid off so I could prep the jambs better, and to make masking easier. I'll probably pull the doors off as well since the jambs have blue overspray.
