This is my old X-Pack Capri - inspired
by an article in a 1994 edition of Fast Ford called '3 Fat Fords', hence
the number plate. Wheels were 15 x 8 front and 15 x 10 rear with 225 and
265 wide 50 profile tyres. Mk1 3 litre axle was used to keep it all inside
the arches! Sadly, rust got the better of this car and a new shell was bought
to use the existing Rover V8 power. The rest, as they say, is history!
The new FAT Capri -
Supercharged 3.9 V8 - Custom Fabricated XXX-Pack
With the new shell bought, I
fabricated even wider all-steel
arches so that I could
use a standard
width rear axle
and have some
much needed
clearance on
those rear
tyres! Enjoy the
website!
Welcome to everyone visiting
this website - created for a bit of fun to let other Capri enthusiasts know
it's not just them stuck outside in the freezing cold, covered in cuts,
burns, rust and oil just trying to make a bit of progress on their car!
Or is that just me?

All steel wings have been fabricated - no
fibreglass!
Supercharged 3.9 litre V8 was an impulse
buy!
The car starts to take shape once
it's been primed.

a XXX-Pack shell for FAT 744T - The Fat Capri! With its supercharged Rover V8
engine, this hand built custom car is the work of Bob Petrie.
