This is going to be a long term, weekly updated thread of a foxbody beingcompletely disassembled, cleaned, painted and rebuilt into a 500 HP show and track car. It is a 1986 Mercury Capri 5.0 EFI. Every single part of the car that can be removed...willbe removed and either cleaned and painted or replaced with a brand new part. Each weekend I will post up a new group of photos showing the progress. I will be the only person doing the work on this project except for the paint. The budget is $30,000 and the goal is to build my version of the perfect Capri. I welcome any questions and comments and hope it will be an informative and entertaining thread.
Here is the subject... I bought it for $1000.
The interior was in bad shape, the last owner was putting cigarettes out on the floor.
I started by removing the tired red interior... none of it will be reused.

should look pretty sharp when your done. Are you going to keep the bubble hatch? I had an 80 Capri that I put one on, even with the non-bubble tail it looked good.

Man those things had ugly dashes! What are you going to do as far as interiors? I've got a 87-89 black and red dash you can have for the shipping. What are you going to do with the interior you got?
