Capri18 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Hi everyone, Am just a newbie on here, just put a post in the newbie section too. Does anyone have any pictures of a Capri that has Mk3 wings, bonnet and front panel but Mk2 lights and front bumper? See am going to be putting my Mk2 capri back on the road over christmas (the story is in the newbie post...it involves a sheep) but with being a student money is pretty tight so i cant get new mk2 panels. but i have 2 front wings bonnet and front panel off a Mk3. Just thinking if i can miss match untill i can get Mk2 panels? Cheers
caprinerd Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 the wings bonnet and front panel will go on as the main frame is the same on the mk2 and mk3 and if you put the mk2 bumper on you wll need to sort the holes where the bumper plastics go in and welcome to the osf
Admin Vista Posted November 29, 2008 Admin Report Posted November 29, 2008 not sure you can use a mk3 bonnet with mk2 lights though
sparkycapri Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 MK 2 front lights will not fit in under mk3 bonnet lip & wing corners i have a spare mk2 bonnet. all you have to do is cut & weld the corners out on the mk3 wings above the indiators not very difficult if you are handy with a welder
caprinerd Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 sorry my bad didnt think about the lights but they will not fit with the mk3 bonnet so you`ll have to use mk3 lights and sort something out for an indicator
Capri18 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Posted December 4, 2008 Cheers guys, seeing that picture of the mk3 with mk2 headlights really makes me want to do it. Can anyone see any major problems, am guessin the frame of the bonnet would foul the light? Cutting a section out might help? I've got an old rusty mk3 bonnet so i could fit them up on mk scrap mk3 to see if i can get them to fit, saves chopping the good bonnet and making a mistake.
richie_stix Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 erm...the lights will fit... soem matey on here... has a green cappa with cossie v6 on tripple carbs... he had a mk3 with mk2 lights... looked wicked! been tempted myself many times!
Copey Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 i know, black bonnet and bigger bulge, he is who i got the pic off
richie_stix Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 yeah, i raised a thread bout this jan this year... he loaded same pic!
Capri18 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Posted December 8, 2008 It does look awesome! am definetaly going to give it a shot. Does anyone have any other pictures at all? It might be a long shot but a pic of under the bonnet would be great Cheers
