coooooool.... cant wait to see it finished...

 

That looks mad.

 

gonna be awesome

the full rear spoiler, slammed and some 335/35/17 tyres on the back, oh yes

don't worry boys, defo not selling this one for the r35 fund lol

 

looking good nick, keep up the good work mate

 

I have had word from my bodykit builder all 4 arch extensions will be here next Friday, spoiler is almost done aswell

not sure when il have time to get started but im excited to be getting it and at least offer it up to see the fit

 

That kit looks mad lol. How are you gonna attach it to the car.

 

il be honest glenn im not sure yet mate, ideally I would like it all screwed on like the original cars were and removable, I may foam fill the insides so its still light but a lot stronger and have a lot more support.

 

Can you not glue it on with body panal glue be a lot stronger than screws

 

I could mate yes I just like the idea of it being removable, as they were originally and easy if any fibre repairs are ever needed.

 

Just silicone the kit on lol or use wood screws..

 

there is a guy on Facebook that has just finished building one using a stanadard shell. To be fair it looks awesome I've put the link below

Looks like m6 rivnuts and some nice stainless button heads

 

. ignore - sorry

 

yeah seen him on capri club have spoken to him about how he got his so low as im working on what im gonna do still.

that's my potential plan with a foam beading on the join, and also foam filled kit from inside (not visible) to make the kit more rigid. I cant see anything happening this year work is flat out and I have no time at all still working 7 days, im working today im just in for lunch lol.

 

looks like he lower the body 80mm all around looks a lot of work but worth it

 

That one on facebook looks mint.

 

He's got the look just right I love it

 

Looks mental mate. What model of capri was it to start with?

 

yeah lots of work im planning on 50mm all round, massive wheels, 335/30/17 rears, I will lower the kit if I have to im not doing what he did with the shell fook that lol


mine will be built as a proper road car though

 

Well it hasn't got a sunroof or a rev counter so I would reckon a base model like a L,LS or GL. Just like the original

 

Don't blame you mate , plus your shell is far too good to cut up

 

Don't blame you mate , plus your shell is far too good to cut up

 

it was a difficult decision as the shell will need extensive work to fit the kit, but it had to be a 2.8i special with the lsd and proper junkers are £2k I had to spend over£4k to get a decent one to start with, the motor is mint so ripe for the supercharger conversion


mine will be a rarity aswell as it will have the proper full rear tail spoiler that's still in design/production now it should be here soon

I don't know when I will have time to get on it though, also got a 318 mopar v8 to build for my Chrysler if these 7 day weeks at work ever end

 

You never stop do you matey. Im the opposite I cant be arsed.

 

I don't mate, ive just come in for lunch.
getting this ready today its being picked up 9am tmrw





weve had to do new transmission pump, new turbo, water jacket reseal, blade cutting edges and welding repairs, inlet manifold reseal, draw bar welding and a new door latch, the machine didn't come home til Friday afternoon so we been flat out on it, should be done by about 4pm today im of out for some diner out then before tmrw begins got a dozer with 5 gallons of coolant in the sump

 

spoilers ready bump for brooki for pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats one big ass spoiler .!!!!!

 

It's gonna look awesome

 

Good project, but not sure I'd have wanted to have pulled a mint 55k car to bits to do that to it....each to their own !

 

The thing is £2k buys nothing nowadays for a 2.8i special, they were utter Shit, if i buy a £2k turd it will need £2k or more spending on it for engine, gearbox, lsd axle, interior etc to all be mint like mine is, and even then it will still not be close to the car I have and I don't have all that work to do the cars ready just needs kit and supercharger install so you see I didn't really have a choice and ade sealed the deal with the donation of the sprinter supercharger kit I wanted an engine, drivetrain young and healthy enough for abit of boost

 

No, fair comment and I thought that so I don't blame you at all for doing what you did I just don't think I'd have the heart to pull that one to bits but that's just me !


A sentimental old sod !

 

I know what your saying mate and a grinder hasn't touched the car yet, I may feel the same once im armed with a grinder lol

 

Its getting there, will look epic I reckon.

 

Agreed ! Spammed a good car up methinks
