so i currently have a ford capri 1985 fitted with a turboed mx5 lump and xpack kit fitted. now the question i have is currently the interior is bare nothing in it at all so do i fit a full capri interior or fit a roll cage some bucket seats and use it like that ?
any pictures of anyone with a roll cage fitted would be great ?
thanks very much joe

Re: what is better?
Depends on what you want to get from driving it I guess. Personally I like one or two home comforts in a car so I would be looking at getting an interior but I might just be getting old and soft

Re: what is better?
What's car like with that engine? Personally I'm same as Peter - nice to have some comforts.
Re: what is better?
I say go full race car with cage and buckets or go half cage reclining buckets and keep the rear seats
Have you got a build thread for your Capri? I'm planning on doing exactly the same to mine engine wise and would love to see what you had to modify/had trouble with.
Good luck
