This is the BMW-powered Ford Crapi sorry Capri :lol: that I made the sump for: Please excuse the general tattyness... it was deemed more important to get the mechanicals right than the bodywork; that will be fixed up hopefully next month. Things We've Fixed: - Gear stick (many adjustments, I will share some pictures next week) - Steering rack mounts (you've already seen those, they work) - Throttle pedal - was coming on with the brake; the throttle pedal was cut and a "U" shaped section welded in to avoid the brake balance bar, which was the culprit - Flexi-pipes installed between master cyls and reservoirs for brake & clutch - the old fixed ones were a right dog to work around Things Still to Fix: - Mystery oil leak around the oil filter (not sure where it is...) - The bonnet (the one on it is cream crackered) - Shockingly bad bodywork & paint - Lack of sponsorship... Racing at Croft (near Darlington, Co. Durham) this weekend, any locals are welcome to come and say Hi - look for a large Bedford coach in a similar paint job... |

Hi Ade The Capri looks very purposefully I bet you have a better finish on the inlet ports than the bodywork :) :) :) :) :) People used to take the piss out of our cars until they were blown away by them A wet croft :Doh: :Doh: :Doh: :Doh: My previous employer held the outright lap record at croft for many years Until a up and coming driver (Jim Crawford) took 2 seconds out of it at the last meeting before it closed I have not been back since the place was revamped John |

Not my old car is it :clap: Took it round the clock twice and two rebuilds. Nice and light whatever engines in. |

Over here, we didn't have a Ford Capri. We did have 3 generations of a Mercury Capri. Gen 1 looked similar to what you are showing... Gen 2 was a Mustang and Gen 3 was a little Mazda looking thing. Either way... cool race car. Who cares what it looks like as long as it does the business! Eric |

my god I LOVE it.. My brother had a Capri back in the... I spose early 80s? And it was that exact body style. I believe he had a V6 in it. I do love that body style. They are ultra rare here in the states. I always thought those were Escorts over in England... Cool Car! |
