Flashback time!!! My first racecar was a MKI Capri with the 2.8l. A very forgiving car, especially with some suspension upgrades and good tires. As far as the cage goes, so long as it is welded up good you've got the basics. You'll have to add a diagonal to the main hoop. And check the GCR, but I belive that you'll have to add door bars.

The MKI Capri is never gonna be a dominate car in ITA, but it is a fun car to drive, and easy to work on. If you're just starting out, or just like having the oddball car, and you can get it for a song, then go for it.

Drag race cages are just fine.

The only thing is diaganol and sidebars--both of which are easily adapted.

The cage is probably overbuilt for your application--look at the diameter and thickness.
 
sorry to hijack...

but if anyone is interested in a bunch of parts and a solid "roller" caged car let me know... we might just have a deal for you sitting in our garage. We have had the car since 73 when it was new. It had a long successful life in Road Racing (ITA) in the 80's and has sat in storage in a garage since the early 90's.

Still up in the air with what to do with the car, but if you would be interested should we decide to get rid of it let me know.
