would it be a strait forward swap or would there be any issues making the swap .

any tips or info greatly appreciated

thanks Brian

I have done it. inorder for it to work PROPERLY, you need to swap everthing. all the wires from front to back. make sure you keep track of everything to help when re-installing in the car. its not too bad if you tag everything, if you keep track of everthing and re-install like it came out you should be fine.


well that is ifyour donor car is working properly in the first place

 

[brian15]

nice .... i do have a donor car with everything functioning properly ........ so im going to have to swap say fuel pump relays and all those goodies also ?

everything.. I pulled out my interior, everything (well except the steering column) then went under the hood pulled out all those wires, computer, (you could keep the injector harness but i recommend if you have it swap it) o2 sensor harness, tranny harness, every wire in the car. there are ways where you could leave harness's and "adapt" them. ive done it all and i find that the easiest most straight forward way is to swap everything.

good luck man, and do a "progress" thread. we all LOVEEEE those

:edit - if you are doing this swap, keep the 86 nose and look.. four eyes FTW

I think a swap like that REALLY enhances a 4-eye. I like the way the outside looks, but the interior has a SERIOUS case of 80's Dash Disease.

+1 definatly keep the 4eye when doing the swap

 

[brian15]

i feel the same way 4eyes FTW ..... assuming i pull the swap im definatly keep the nose and will probally use a set of svo sail panels .

then that will make 3 4 eyed cars in the family .

Well, why don't you just remind me again tomorrow.

Won't do any good tho cause I look at her everyday and tell myself that. Find me a Capri nose and I swear it shall be done. I have been looking.

Why not get a 90 and put a 4 eye nose on it??

Some people LIKE vin-correct cars. I know I do. I'm sick of all the hassles I go thru emission testing my Capri.
