My Mercury Capri RS Turbo 79
 

hello ford oldie fans,

my name is mila, i'm 22 and live in austria. (pls excuse my english :) )

when i was 18 i felt in love with a red ford capri rs turbo (79 from michigan) from a gas station near my home. i bought him for 300euros, he got repaired and ready for driving. i was soooo happy.... i felt so free when driving him. it was such a great feeling not letting him die on the car cemetery! and people looked at him like he is a star....

We prepared him for getting black, i wanted two white racing stripes and a nice symbol from the mayas - hunab ku- (you can see it on the photos).

then it happend. i lost my job and hadn't got enough money to repair him. i always found the false mechanicians and everybody told me to let him die - but i'll never let him die!!

now, since nearly one year, he stands in a garage and waits for his resurrection. last time when i drove he had condensate in his carburettor. Max. speed was 20km/h and i thought: "oh no, he will die when i drive him longer"...

i try to find the right mechanician for him and save as much money as possible.

someday..... i'll drive again..... and my heart.... will beat again.....

thank you for reading!

Sweet Capri Mila. Get some tools and tell us exactly what the car does and maybe we can jumpstart it back to stardom! Welcome to the forum. Tell me more about the car.

300 EUROS? I missed that part. Wow.

thank you conan!

well, the car has a 2,3l machine, 4 cylinders and a turbo; 115hp.

i'm thinking about giving it a new engine - maybe a V8 but that depends on how much does this engine cost and how much work it is to build it into the car.
