The early fox body Mexican Mustangs had Capri bodies. Check out the link below.

Well its still a Capri, If he wants parts in Texas, he should just look for Capri parts.

87MustHave · May 18th, 2011, 11:46 PM

Yeah...just bought it soo i dont have the chance to change them right now.. OH and links should work now

Ryank · May 18th, 2011, 11:47 PM

I cant really tell, Is it 4 lug or 5 lug?

RZNCAIN · May 18th, 2011, 11:48 PM

Looks like 5 lug

FastStang91Lx · May 18th, 2011, 11:51 PM

No, your wheels are fine. The originals to the car are ugly! The ones you can see in the link that Horsepower posted.

87MustHave · May 18th, 2011, 11:52 PM

5 lug.

Ryank · May 18th, 2011, 11:53 PM

Yep its a 5 lug car.. Man thats some trippy shit right there.. That reminds me of seeing a coupe car with t-tops... That just goes to show you we havent seen everything Ford has built ..

99% of the mechanical parts will work from a 5.0 mustang on a capri.... as long as he's not looking to go cosmetic it would be 100x easier to use mustang parts.. there the same fucking shit

for him to hunt down a car they made 1 for every 100 mustangs, well that would just be retarded

ryanw · May 18th, 2011, 11:57 PM

ya thats a mustang body (Rounded fenders) capri front bumper and hood
