    Update:
    Here is my latest underhood shots.

    After 3 broken clustershafts in less than a year,buckled quarters and planning on having to change my route from a fun driver/road coarse/drag car I had planned on making it an auto which was going to take all the fun out out of it, and make it a drag only.
    So....I have bought an 80 model 4cyl w/blown tranny that will become my drag/play car

    The plan is to use my turbo setup,fuel system,AEM EMS, and a JW th400 w/trans brake, and build an ultra stout 363 w/my new BOSS 302 block. The car will stay 100% capri outside, hence the reason I am looking for a bubble hatch, and front end w/air dam.

    I have been thinking about doing the white/black just like my t-top car.

    With my t-top car, I already have PBR calipers, and some other braking/handling goodies to go on. My plan is to pull the cars side by side in my basement and start doing the swap. I'll start posting updates as they become available.

    Update again...
    Rather than just strip my t-top car back down to stock, its going all the way, not drag though. I just placed the order for Bilstein HD Struts, and Shocks all the way around, New front lower control arms(just like the 93 cobra), alluminum rack bushings,all new poly suspension and sway bar bushings, new Maximum Motorsport HD rear control arms, MM panhard bar, stainless brake lines blah blah blah.. all to be installed with the PBR calipers, 95 spindles etc in a couple of weeks. Looks like the build made a turn more towards driver/road race car. I'll be posting pics as parts get installed.
