WTB a lot of things
« on: February 18, 2010, 10:02:00 PM »

I just bought a 92 base capri and love the thing. i have a lot of work to do on it. i found this forum and wanted to see if anyone had any parts for sale that i may be interested in.

i really want to find a turbo to install, if anyone can help me out with that it would be great.

i also need a driverside convertible latch... passenger interior handle
driver exterior handle
passenger windshield wiper arm
trunk support arms

im sure theres more... but if anyone can help me out with this i would be grateful.

cheers

Most of the stuff you want you will most likely find in junk yards or on ebay.  People also post parts on this site.  If you have a few free hours, I would also recommend plugging "1991-94 Capri" into the Craigslist search box and just go city to city and see what you come up with.

Of all the things you list, the trunk supports are probably the easiest thing to find.  They still stock replacements in auto parts stores.  I suggest you get the XR-2 supports, since they are stronger to lift a trunk lid with a spoiler on it and therefore will be more robust and last longer.  It's been a while since I purchased any, but I think I got mine at Auto Zone for around $15 each.

Email me at Cougar1prod@comcast.net.  I have most of the stuff on your list, including the turbo!

Welcome to the forum!  You will find this is the place to be if you have any questions on your car!

By the way, the Super Roo (the red Capri in my signature below) is also a '92!

Except if you search "Mercury Capri" all years on Craigslist, you will also have to deal with all of the German and Fox body (mustang) Capri stuff.  You will get enough of that in a search of 1991-94, but to each his own.

thanks all for the info. ive been searching around but a lot of this stuff is expensive haha. its definitely gonna be a slow project but if anyone is willing to help out it would be greately appreciated.

i also have a question to automatic capri owners... has anyone installed a turbo to an automatic n/a capri? is it worth the work/money? how many things to i have to alter i.e. suspension etc...     i have a mechanic friend who's helping me out with this project.

thanks again!!!

The Capri you have is the Capri you have.  The Capri you want won't be built in a day.  Enjoy the process and drive often!
