As that the bikes tucked away for the winter, decided to get a 4 wheeled toy. Hopefully have it on the road for next winter

Think I'll put it black. It comes with a bog standard 2 litre pinto, but not sure if I'll put that in it. Might get a big American V8, or go with a modern boring zetec. See how the bodywork turns out before making my mind up

Very nice, done a bit of courting in a 2.8i when I was young ane. Still remember the sound of the spring when pressing the clutch pedal, beautiful.
Like MacRR says we've got to see the pics of the rebuild Kenny.

You've a wide choice of engines to fit the Capri.. V6/8 sounds the most interesting.. like the rest of the lads be good to see the stages..

Think it's going to be a very long, very slow project. Seeing some cracking small block chevy engines, 400+ ponies. But the engine will be worth more than the car!
No Stuart, I was thinking more like the rear axle springs:listening_headphone

Those 2.8I Capris were cool cars back in the day. I remember watching the Professionals - some good Capri action no there 
No plans for a roll bar in it, yet. Got a long way to go before deciding these things. Can't even decide on an engine the now, looking at 3 liter jag engines, as they are ford durance, and even looking at small block chevy motors.
Need to get the garage insulated and wired so I can get a start on it, and see from there if it worth the work of making it into somthing stupid fast!
Looking forward to some rwd action round the back streets with it. But will more than likely end up wrapped round a lamppost!!!

Couple of guys down our way opened up a cooperage circa 1984 and made instant big money, they ordered a brace of his and his Brooklands Capris... dark mettalic green, Recarros with the net headrests, 225 tyres... I never had two bob and had to make do with a rebuilt CG125 to run about on.. I walked about telling mysef "your the richer man" due to my deft spanner techniques... yea rite ! These two fuckers had it all ! Seeth seeth [emoji31] [emoji31] [emoji31]
