1983 Ford Capri 2.8(not i)

[vintoni]

Had this car for a while now whilst regularly perusing the plethora of awesome motors on this board. It's a 2.8i that was converted to a Weber carb by a previous owner, me being the 15th haha.

Looks like a bag of sh1te/bad@ss in equal measure. More details on what I've actually had to do so far (including two gearbox swaps) to follow:

Looks cool. Whats that rear wheel?

[vintoni]

Cheers. They're just some Weller steelies I picked up cheap on eBay. I have fronts to go on too when I can be bothered to paint them.

That's badass

[vintoni]

Thanks man. It's VERY rough around the edges and it needs a lot of work but structurally and mechanically it's pretty sound.

Looks like a good project, a lot of potential there.

I think it looks great as is, leave it like that

[skozra]

Any updates on this ?

[vintoni]

Yes. I have purchased a Scorpio Cosworth (BOB) and will be pulling the engine out in a couple of weeks to drop into the Capri. The plan is to get a new wiring loom made up and tune it on a standalone ECU (Emerald or Megasquirt).

Beast mode.

After months of truck shenanigans I finally pulled the Cossie lump. Now to get it cleaned up and off to Boost Performance in Nottingham for a once over to make sure it's not a complete lemon.....

[vintoni]

Oh, and the car itself is a little rustier now....

[vintoni]

Some things happened...
