Huh! And here I was thinking Capras are ugly as sin. Yours looks pretty clean.

Maybe it's the 2.2s. Or maybe your nice, simple panels and interior. Either way, nice looking buggy.

 

[SteveB1]

Many thanks. I have not been a big fan of Capras, but I figured it could be an interested platform if reworked. The longer rear links and 2.2's do help the curb appeal in my opinion.

Elimination of the stupid interior really helps!!

I put the stock interior panel in without the ridiculous helmeted dudes and while it looks so-so, yours is much better.

Now back to making an interior panel like yours like I should have done in the first place!

 

[SteveB1]

If it wasn't so darn tight inside, I would have considered going with it, but there is just not enough room to make adjustments with than thing in the way.

This is what I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Mesh-Cou...-Sheet-/331830916101?var=&hash=item4d42a9f405

The piece I used is 6 grams. The OEM interior was much heavier. It's just resting there, held by the cage posts. Pops in and out without needing any tools. Sorta handy.

 

[Ots]

Well, I'll get something to work. Every time I see my interior section it irritates me! It's gotta go! Yours is a much cleaner installation.

 

[Ots]

I like your alternative interior better than mine but it's at least an improvement over helmet dudes.

2.2's make the capra.

 

[Ots]

My 2.2's for it arrive tomorrow.

Looks a lot better on 2.2s.

 

[Ots]

Definitely - 2.2's the way to go!
