I have two cars, but I’ll tell you about my “real” car, not the work one!
1986 ford capri 2.0 laser. Currently has 69,000 miles on the clock, converted it to the fuel injection system off a ford granada which still isnt running right! I’ll put a few pics on, any questions I’ll answer!
:High five:
I assume the last 3 pics are how it stands now?
I can’t say I like the front splitter thing. But other than that it look like you did a great job of bringing it back to former glory. How bad was the rust? On the pic it looks like it was not attacked so badly.
Top pic is probably the newest actually, didnt really get them in date order (oops!)
Splitter only goes on for the summer, otherwise it collects so much salt and grit its a nightmare! Rust wasnt too bad, one patch on the leading edge of the bonnet, part on the scuttle by the passenger side of the windscreen, and the lower part of the drivers wing below the rubbing strip, needs a new wing really but I think I’m gonna save up for an X-pack
Wheres the photos of yours then T16??
Undergoing a re-build then?
If you need any parts or advice join www.capripower.co.uk if you havent already, great bunch of guys on there that can help out
Yes it a long term project, but sadly it’s on hold because the T16 needs an MOT (syn over here) and a few other things and it has priority over the Capri.
Thanks for the forum suggestion I will remember that till when I start working on the Capri again.
Hey Brad! Yup still got her, needs some work on the inner wings now, and I wont even mention the engine! Hows your 6 going? You’ll have to come up and see my place some time. Congrats on the job btw
Thought id best update this thing from page 12!
Car has been sent away to the Orkney isles to get a full 2.9 V6 24v cosworth engine swap and the bodywork sorted.
Should be good for 150+Mph when its back
