the 2.8 engine is a dog, unless its has been very well looked after or restored it will be a rust bucket
if the shell is good, check strut tops and have a good scan at the arches and under it, it mat be a good plan.
just chuck a 24v in it, i have never had as much fun with my clothes on in ages driving a 24v capri. I was giggling to my slef though out the drive
