Well this is my 1972 Mk1 pre facelift Ford Capri . It started as a rusted out mess and ive turned it into as you see in the pictures. I pulled it off the road again and have been doing alot of custom work to it, including getting ready to fit the new efi turbo pinto motor among other things.

Nice work. By far the sweetist capri I've ever seen. I'm looking at getting one soon. Do the 17s fit easily or do u need to modify?
