Goblin Works Capri

Post by zxr250cc »

Hi all,

I saw an episode of this show from UK today and they put a 5.0L Coyote in a 1986 2.8L V-6 Capri as an upgrade and did a lot of work to make it fit and run. Cool show and very talented mechanics. It must be fun to have a garage full of metal tools to fabricate what you need during a refresh, rebuild or modification.

Cheers

I think the Capri was one of the best projects they did on that show.

Here are some pics of it.

The Brits really liked the old Capris. I can remember growing up my Dad leased a US MKI.
Outside of the map light on the passenger side widow pillar not much impressed me.
It was in typical 1970's brown metallic paint.
