    Default New Capri owner from Germany.

    Hello, I am an American living in Germany. I've been here for about 18 years. I have owned 2 Fox bodies in the past, a 1988 and 1991 5.0 GT. Now I am the proud owner of a 1980 Capri Turbo RS Hard top 4 speed. I am waiting on Transport then I can start with the restoration.

    Plans for the beauty are so.

    I am going to swap the pull through carb setup for a blow through 4bbl design and will probably use the Holley Super sniper efi.

    The engine will also get a full rebuild and a built bottom end since everything is already going to be opened.

    I thought about an efi turbo swap from another car but doner cars are really expensive here and parts are rare.

    I will also probably swap the 7.5 rear end for an 8.8 and possibly 5 lug swap. (Wheels are hard to find here that fit the stock setup)

    The car comes with an extra engine/turbo/trans and a 3rd extra turbo.

    Here are a few pictures.
    She needs some love but I'm ready to bring her back.

    Congrats on the Capri. Looks like a solid starting point for a project. I didn’t like the Capri when I was younger. I preferred the Mustang but now that I’m older I have grown to appreciate the Capri. It stands out among the 4-eyes. Good luck with your project and update us with more pictures when you can.

    Thank you. I have always loved the Bad ass look of the Capri. Before this one I've never even seen one live. I am looking forward to this project a lot. I will start my own thread once she's underway.
