Prefer 4 eyes myself since my first 2 were 4 eyed. Dont hack your 4 eyes!
I'll just trade you instead.

Just got my first 4eye

I just purchased a 1985 capri RS and I am really getting into this 4-eye thing. Does anybody know what type of wheel is on the very first car in this thread?

The wheels are Fikse FM/10's. I hope you have a high paying job, those wheels cost more than most cars on this forum.

He has an 86 gt front end for it, just needs to install and paint it. Who would want an ugly capri front end anyway?

4 eyes have always been my favorite, I like the 1983-1986 Mercury Capri's the best.

I absolutely love this car. I know the guy who built it and it a sweet four eye for sure, definitely in my top 5 four eye cars I've ever seen.

Anyone have more info on this car? Suspension setup? How much is it lowered? What motor/trans is he runnin? My favorite so far, simple, and clean!
