Default My Capri MK2 Zakspeed Cosworth project..

Hi everybody..!

This is my 77`Capri 2.0s, picture from when I bought it..


The plan for this is to fit all the equipment that came from my old capri that I had in 2010 as a fun car..





SPEC LIST:
2wd Cosworth 2.0 Turbo engine
T5 Box
Strenghtend shaft
Capri 2.0s Axle with TranX 50/50 diff
310x32mm wilwood front brakes
2wd Cosworth rear brakes
Coilovers, lowering blocks ect
Flocked dash, and rest of interiour in Carbonfibre(F and R doorcards, panels in the boot and on the hatch.
4point OMP harness
OMP Firextinguisher system
Zakspeed arches with home made front
10,5 and 9,5x17" Image split rims with Falken tyres
Everything on the suspension and other things has been powdercoated
Every little nut and bolt has been zinked

Probably more to come on the spec list.

Untill now I have been finnishing the frame and body, sent it away to sandblastering and zink priming. Heres some picures to show you some rust repair, and some inspirations picts..





















The reason I keep going...



Hope you all enjoy! Feel free to comment..

Thanks for the comments..

Im not sure about the spoiler yet, ive got 2 rear hatches, both are going to be painted, so Ill see what either looks like when car is finished..

Starting to see the end on the rust repair, and soon ready for painting under and inside..



Still some small areas left to do though..
