i have always wanted to do up a yugo for some strange reason. Just something different i guess.

i almost bought a fiesta once but opted for the escort instead.

Anybody like Ford Fiestas? I love the one we have at our shop as a pusher car. I'll try to get a pic soon. (It's doorless, interior stripped, custom front and rear bumper, duals, and a hood scoop)

I got the Capri when I was 14 for a learning project. I am in mechanics training and I wanted something cheap ($200) and easy to wrench on. I got some pics at http://www.79capri.co.nr It was nothing very special, but I loved the way it looked. And OnYrMrk, next month, I'll be 17.

I love the older Mustangs, but Not to hip to the 74-78 Mustang II though... Might as well been a Pinto :p lol

theres really not much interest for mustang guys, unless your me that is, for anything pre 89....in 89 they went from a speed density efi to the newer mass air system that was more tuneable for wilder camshafts....but i like carbs so i like anything from about 67 -85 best......not a fan of the 66 or older because in 67 they widened the track width of the car a little and it looks better.

My guess would be that he's much like I was... from 15 1/2 to 17 years old I owned 8 different cars... And believe it or not the older Capris can be found relatively cheap from time to time as most collectors are looking for Mustangs

How hard would it be to make a custom crossover? I work at a shop and have access to a welder, bender, and pipe.

btw, I had a 1980 Capri with sunroof, 4speed, inline 6, and louvers...oh yea, and an 8track deck too

you gotta do it, the 87-93 parts look fantastic on them....although personally the 85 lx coupe was my fav of the fox bodys.....i like carburators though and i like the notchback best......last one i had was nothing but motor and pulled low 11's on pump gas, and was completely street legal.

by SCOlds » Tue Sep 18, 2007 6:08 pm

NO! Don't ruin a Capri that way! Also, I hate it when people aero-nose them (87-93 nose).
I'll look into fabricating one. What would be a decent size? 2"? I've got all sizes from 1-3/4" to 3".
