Just recently (yesterday) I purchased the caprice import grill series 2 with the gold lettering �pix not up yet� For $250 dollars.

Thats not bad, but i rekon you should keep the statesman garnish or find a good statesman garnish (no cracks) Cuz end of the day its a statesman not a caprice

Or I can continue with making it a caprice and just change the roof lining and a couple other little bits??

I stopped looking for 2/3 garnish's and lights..i had some but have sold them alreadi. Currently i have the imported series 3 caprice grill " caprice " in gold writing..Im chasing the standard " statesman " series 2 one but am in no rush then ill be selling the series 3 caprice one i have. I know a bloke that gets a hold of them alot he wrecks a **** load of series 2/3 statoes..hes average price is about 400 if u want me to put u onto him ?? Let me know. JUST PLAIN WHITE Quote: Originally Posted by PSI-EFI i rekon maybe red and white would've looked better, but i still rekon that looks good.. breaks it up a bit more i suppose HEY thanks man, havent seen u post on here for a while..maybe im just not looking right..haha. I dunno if i told u but i kept the clutch fan setup instead of the thermos..so juzt sold them off. Thanks for all the effort and help u gave me in that situation to m8 =] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
