Wanted / Needed: Stock Rear Springs from 79-93 Hatch or Coupe (plus)

Lou, your Inbox is full.

I'm looking for a pair of stock rear springs for my 85 Capri. They need to be 79-93 springs from a V8 coupe or hatch (no convertible springs). I could also use 79+ rear shocks and 87+ front struts.

I'm very cash strapped right now and trying to finish up this car. I've gone past my budget limit and still have to do alignment, inspection and a few other things to have it on the road for summer. So these parts would have to be really cheap or donated.

Much has changed in my life since I bought this car last year. Work has reduced my hours over the winter and it's made it difficult to finish the car. Recently they cut my hours even more so I have to start looking for another job. :(

I refuse to give up on this car at this stage of the game because I worked on it all winter and I'm so close to having it roadworthy.

I've been in the car hobby/profession for 27 years. Over that time period I have helped countless people with cars an parts. I never once asked for charity or needed assistance when it comes to this stuff. I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm hoping that karma is kinder than this economy.

If they were Bullitt or Mach1 they would have worked, but stock 01's would increase the ride height slightly higher than it was in 85. Thanks for offer though.
