After watching the 2 outstanding capri projects that are being/have been put together by "84rsturbo" & "Capri Debris" not to mention Mr. Joshua's Mustang I have decided to roll my Capri, bought off of Quick82, into the garage and start on my own Capri Project. Nothing has been set in stone with this project other than my choice in paint color, which will be Kawasaki green. My wife has appropriately named the car "Green Bean" so it is only fitting that I name it "Project Green Bean".
I'd like to say it will be ready to roll in spring, but it most likely (definitely) won't move at the speed the others members have gotten theirs done it. I hope you all enjoy.
Today I got the wife and kids to help me clean out the mess I have made of the garage over the past 4 years so we could get the Capri rolled inside out of the weather. I have been collecting parts for this for a while, as well as cutting out panels from donor cars, but I have only gotten as far as taking the hood off and putting the car on dollies.
I have identified that the passenger fender apron will need to be replaced as well as the radiator support.
I have been able to cut out a donor fender apron from the rotted out '85 coupe that I parted and scrapped a month ago. I have noticed that they aren't exact, but can't think of a need for the big oval hole in the original so the replacement should work well.
Other plans at this point my plans include:
'03 Cobra IRS
'02 GT Front Suspension
'03 Cobra Brakes (F & R)
2.3t with 5spd (plans may change over time)
'07 GT Split 5 wheels
