    Default My Project '82

    well I had a 84 t-top I planned on working on, but when I got into the car the floor is rotted, along with the quarters, frame, hatch, doors, ect...



    But since I had already bought a bunch of parts for it I decided I better look for another Capri... So this is what I found $500.00 for the rolling chassis along with a bunch of extra Parts... Plans are .... Swap the '84 RS front end on it, swapping back to 82 hatch, bumper, and Tail Lights, I have a 3" cowl, and I am building a 351 stroker for it... looking for at least a mid 11 second car..









    Thanks For Looking

    Looks like a good project, too bad you couldn't use the black one.

    Yeah it is just a shame that the '84 is shot... But the 82 will be 1 bad car when it is done...
