1976 ford capri ll

[michelle]

I took apart my monogram 1/24 scale Mercury Capri ll and redid it as a British ford capri ll I did a dash swap with a right hand drive one from a 1/24 British ford escort mk ll I reprimed the body and then repainted it a base coat of rust-oleum 2x satin oasis blue and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint flash dark blue I repainted the interior rust-oleum 2x flat black primer

mercury was who sold  the ford capri in the north america market   and there was two different assembly plants were  ford capri  were built in europe one in the uk which did the right hand drive version and one in germany which made the left hand drive versions  so most likelythe mercury carpi were assembled in the geran ford factory and sent to north america and then the mercury name plates and logo were added to the car before they were delivered to the dealerships

Very cool! I picked up one of those at a show last year. I also picked up an 82 Revell Firebird SE, from a fellow builder who's trying to thin out his stash. Sorry it's upside down.

A friend of mine owned the John Player version of the Mercury Capris. It was black with gold pinstriping with 2.6 V6.

A very beautiful car,

Very Nice, British plates and righthand drive is as right as rain.

Soon it will be time for me to build a British car.

Probably a Street Rod, I have a weakness for the English rods from the 80s. I think it can be a fun challenge to find the right parts as opposed to building according to current trends.
