    Default 84 Capri RS Turbo - Updated Pics

    Update 2022 - You can either scan this thread or watch the progress on a YouTube video that shows the entire resto:

    Either way, enjoy!

    It's been in hibernation all winter. I've finally had a chance to add the graphics and lower stripes to the 84 RST. Pulled it out of the garage and hosed off all the dust today. Enjoy to pics!

    Thanks - the original seats were beyond shot and since I had the extra set of 84 SVO seats, I figured they would be right at home in the RS.

    I gotta ask, where did you find a place that sells the stripes? I have been looking for some to do the Air Dam on my 84 RS and so far it is looking like I will need to custom order some from 3M or have the stripes color matched and do them in paint.

    Any help would be much appreciated,

    Looks great Joe. Awesome job!

    I'm curious, how much different does the Capri drive than the SVO?
