hi mike..

1st n foremost.. salute tha olskool....

Bro..
Kewl project.. i think u better stick wif
OEM cond for ur capri.
Just change the tear n wear parts n if can
rebuild all the necessary ori parts on the engine.
Such service the carb, changing hoses,
service the radiator n such..
As for me..
m doing the same thing but datsun platform - SSS160j.
Just start on 1st stage - refurbish the engine
Play on twin SU carb... n thinking to service it
soon..
Now, i'm collecting the necessary old parts
to plug to my olride b4 send for bodyworks n paint..
Cant wait le....

Update us wif ur project bro...

Keep it ori.. looks like your car still have most of it's original parts/badges intact. Real rare. Check uk capri club for mo info.

Paint its ori colour. Get the bonnet & side panel stirpes done. Get rid of the mudflaps. Shod it with 14 inch minilite or any banana-spoked alloys/mags. Much better if you can find capri original rostyle steel rims. Don't put a low profile tyres. A 70 series will do the trick. There, u have a nice looks ride.

Since yours is mk1, there is not much can be done with the engine since replacement for capri is a rare find here. I think it is the same x-flow engine as mk 2 escort 1.6 ghia. If i am correct, then fine a weber from mk2 escort 1.6 sport. Will be straight fit.

some shopping is needed in this stage.
enjin might leave abit behind as need to settle those brake/suspension problem 1st...

Ford Capri is very difficult to find nowadays but if there is, it would be a piece of rusted junk. Thus wishing u all the best to restore this car. Why dun u check on this site, www.adckits.com, they are expert on restoring classic cars. Have seen classic cars like Holden Monaro, Chevtolet Camaro, BMW 3 series (E21) and several other cars being beautifully restored.

Guys,

just asking, are the wear and tear parts easy to find?

Driveshaft, bearings, transmission parts, handbrake cables, bushes etc....

coz i'm also interested in the capri....
