Hi everyone,
I'm new here and in the middle of restoring a group 1 Capri.
I'm looking for some RHD parts like a Dashboard + dash top - V6 wiring loom - steering rack.
Thanks,

Hi Ed,
Welcome to the forum.
Your restoration project sounds really interesting.
For parts, try Martin at Caprigear on +44 1507 343148.
The steering rack can be bought as a reconditioned unit from Burton Power, Capri Club International or Tickover.
Good luck with the resto, please post some photos as folks on this forum would sure love to see it.
Andrew.

Re: Group 1 Capri
The car was build from a RHD lightweight shell purchased from Boreham it won the Dutch 1979 championship and finished 17e overall in the Spa 24H of that year.
After 1979 it was converted into a Group A car , during the last years of it's carrier it was converted into a LHD car.
The planning is to bring it back as it was in 1979.

Re: Group 1 Capri
Looks great and the Group 5 looks awesome. Very jealous now!
Group 1 front arb looks interesting. Be great to see some more pictures of suspension if you get a chance. I think they used to run non standard rear arb setup aswell on the Group 1 cars, but don't have any detailed info, just the odd rubbish photo.
Good luck with the projects
