CAPRI FOR SALE!!! :(

*appologies for the spelling mistake in title & anywhere else *

just picked up today a.......

1984 mk3 ford capri 1.6 gl in green

needs cosmetic work, and general maintenance. but hopefully going to be a nice restoration and something to play about with. always wanted a capri and i won this on ebay at a relistic price i think for the condition.

pics to follow.

now wheres the grinder? welder? and patients...lol

and an essex/cologne v6?

im not sure yet. im going to use the car as it is for the time being, either drop a zetec or a st170 when i find some money...

Zetec's or ST170 engines are all very well, but i'd still prefer the V6 over a 4-potter

aye, why a zetec? seems a bit of a wierd choice, the v6 will look more at home and sound/go the part, a modern I4 is going to look a bit pants, but that's just my opinion

v6 or you might aswell flog it on

we shall c. I gota find funds 1st. Im happy with a 1.6 for now as a daily driver gota think of fuel n insurance

The Duratec V6 from a mk2 mondeo will return 30mpg iirc with approx 170hp

Driven sensibly V6's can be good on fuel
but if you got a heavy right foot, as i have, then.....

ye my foots full of lead.

before anything im going to take attention to the body, as with most capri's its full of rot. so 1st step is to cut as much as possible and replace, looking for some fiberglass parts to replace wings, bonnet, boot etc so theres less to rust in future as im going to try my best to keep it for longer than a few months

eww fuck no chris, blasphemy.

Cosworth 24V will drop straight in

very nice crease. been tryin to get hold of you too! ring me after 6 if you can, i wana favour!

I know of a capric with full s13 chassis underneath, its waiting for an engine. I like capris, are there any photos yet?

evoman, ye im following the bloke on driftworks awsome build. na i havnt had a chance yet.

small update :

service to follow, ordered a few bits on the bay

looking for fiberglass bonnet & possibly wings.

also stupid update = LOST MY KEYS!! got back into the car ok anda new barrell off a mk2 escort from my brother just got to sort that out.

that was a lucky escape with your keys mate.

where was the car when you realised?

car in a lockup thankfully, its not taxed yet, just sorting out a few little bits before i get her on the road, altho im not sure if ill tax untill febuary now, get some of the bodywork done, replace the bonnet and give it a good clean

soc, last I saw this capri it was at a bit of pause, perhaps he's started again, have you got a link to it on driftworks please?

ive got the link on the computer in work, ye the thread is on hold whilst he find somewhere to house the car. ill place it up tmoro definately worth a read for anyone who already hasnt!

I wondered if its a different one though

small update & wishlist

got myself a metal bonnet for a BARGAIN!

collected and started preping ready for respray. full car having a respray starting feb 1st with C.A.R.S Aberystwyth

i have a 4 branch manifold and parts of an exhaust to fit.

uprade engine - probabily a 2ltr pinto as i want to keep it simple.

replace the interior. could do with someone to either assist in a custom dash or sort my old one out not sure yet.

upgrade brakes needed!

electronic power steering is a must!

debating on colour - either keep original or change to a satin graphite not sure yet - pics of any inspiration would help
