'79 Capri build

[Autotooner]

I have a 79 Capri, I paid $400 for it, and actually saved it from the crusher.

I plan to build a Bullitt replica, DHG, no spoiler, Bullitt rims, an all around sleeper look.

here is a picture of it when I got it...

Good save and good luck on your build.

Glad you saved it from its untimely demise

I like the Bullitt idea, just dunno 'bout the wing-less look. At least go with the stock 3 piece wing maybe?

[Autotooner]

thanks guys.

On the spoiler- I'm gonna build it with no spoiler first, if I don't like how it turns out, I can always add one later.


I'll get some current pics up tomorrow.

Sounds good, I'll be waiting for those pics

I also am going spoilerless on my '82 Capri...

I've kinda wanted to do a Bullitt Fox Mustang, I think it would be a cool looking ride when done. Highland green with a black leather interior, Torque Thrust D rims(Bullitts may look better) and a 390 with a 4 speed to top it off. Just my vision of it, good luck with yours.

thanks, I wish the 390 could happen. maybe some day....

only non-black on the interior will be tan inserts on the seats and door panels.

here are a couple of the older pics

nice man. go spoilerless. i think these cars look better without one.

I like the idea. What are you going to do about the hood? Flat or scouped?

I'd like flat... with maybe a street scoop sticking out...

Just my own opinion, street scoops sticking out on ANY car is a no no

Just my own opinion, street scoops sticking out on ANY car is a no no

I do agree that it would detract from the Bullitt image that I'm going for, but I always could put it under the hood

Even if it fits under there I just don't see the point? A nice K&N air filter with the filter lid has a nice look to it.

Just my bias, I have never liked the street scoop look. Hilborn style scoops on the other hand...

A 1979 Model Capri with 5 lugs to boot! Your well on your way to a sleeper bullitt

Wingless man.

I really felt naked when I first got this car, my last fox body was a 88 Saleen and afte having that whale tail I really felt odd but being hatchless really grew on me.

[Autotooner]

sweet! I haven't seen very many with a 3rd wiper....

[In2Fords]

Thank you, heres a car I saw in a paking lot just to fuel the wingless fire

[Autotooner]

twins FTW!!!

Mine was wingless when I first got it. Didn't really like it that way...

[Autotooner]

I can't beleive how hard the Capri nose is too find.

I'm gonna finish the engine bay Wednesday, I'll post new pics then.

[Autotooner]

I got a few new pics up on my cardomain page. Just doing some primering...

I have been working on welding in the spoiler holes on the hatch... I'm considering pulling the doors off since they might need replaced anyways...

[K PONY]

Great to see another one saved.

[Autotooner]

thanks. I've got the hatch about done. I pulled the dash panel in order to make sure everything's good under there. I have a rusted spot on my driver's side frame rail, right below the strut tower, anyone know the best way to fix this?
