im not commited to anything yet though first thing is to get the kit held in place with car sitting at the height the bbm wheels will put it at and see what I can do from there.
a bit of arch gap wont be an issue as long as the rims sit flush with the arch lip.



massive, a little daunting but I will do my best




all the running gear that's there will stay.
im not looking for anything mad ive got a 450 r32 gtr and a 640 hp r33 gtr so im not going mad.

front brakes I will no doubt upgrade.
engine, gearbox and lsd are all mint with just 55000 miles so the engine should take abit of boost ok upto around 230 hp.
interior will be staying all stock, thank god its got pas as the front rims are likely gonna be 9js lol




I agree it does feel a shame but if im gonna make a quality rep its no good starting with a rusty turd so I bought this one.
it will also save me a lot of time and money doing repairs, I can be concentrating on the important bit, the kit and wheels



????



its gonna be a long haul mate I don't know how its all going to work out yet but I sure am looking forward to it, and il have a proper 1 off car at the end of it that the kids and the missus can get in
There was a Zakspeed Capri replica at the Classic car show at the NEC and it looked awesome! Do you know of it , no doubt the owner could give you lots of tips to help with your build. Good luck with yours.
