    Default Bought a 85 capri gs-new project

    My new project is a 85 capri gs. Its been sitting for the last five years. Its a very solid car. I have wanted this car for about 15 years. One of my buddies owned and lost interest and was in need of money and he knew I wanted it.

    It has aot of mods but they are mostly drag.
    it has tub k-member
    manual steering
    five lug conversion
    c-4
    gt-40 heads
    the interior is out of the car. The interior is in great shape.

    I have to rewire the car and I need a hood.

    Nice prospect. I like the sideskirts, which are those? Are you going to leave the factory airdam on the front? That would look slick. I think 99 Cobra wheels would look good with your car.

    I plan on keeping the front end and side skirts. I am think I may go with a mustang hatch with a cobra wing. My long term plan is to do a cobra capri.


    I dont know what kind of side skirts they are they look like saleen. they are urethane. I also have a rear saleen bumper thats on top of the car in the picture.



    Here are some pics of my last two projects

    Coupe had a 410 with a d-1
    and the cobra had a 03 cobra setup that I did.

    Was this car originally a 5.0L? Or was it a 4- or 6-cyl? If it was a 5.0L was it originally auto or manual?

    Original 5.0/5-sp? Sure it's a GS? Don't go by the badge on the hatch. What does the buck tag say?

    And yeah, +1 on the asc wing!.

    Nice Score! Keep it real and keep the hatch. Guaranteed it will turn more heads with the Capri hatch with an ASC wing and it retain the cool factory Capri look. The Capri is getting more rare and us Capri owners are trying to keep as many cars intact as we can. Once it is lowered with wide tires the bubble looks 10x better.

    Awesome grab. I love the green and the gray bottom. Gotta keep the bubble hatch. Ive seen late model capris with Cobra spoilers with Mustang hatches and they are ugly. Good luck with it. Keep us posted and get some better pics. lol

    It's usually attached to the core support, near the driver's side headlights.

    Is the door tag still intact?

    Great I will look at that. The car has never been in a accident.

    So you guys don't like this look?

    Personally, I love the bubble. I think the flat hatch looks good too, but to me the bubble is unique.

    What do YOU want to do. That's what is important. If you don't like the bubble, so be it. You may get guys giving you a hard time (jokingly) about deleting the bubble, but what you like is important. Just don't put an aero nose on it. Lol
