I have an 1986 Ford Capri. Its one of the very last 2.8 injection special models made. Sadly it had a very mirky past and very little was original when I bought it. I saw the buying all the bits to restore it to factory spec would have been more than the car so I decided to make it my own instead. Despite people referring to them as Mk3 Capris, the ones from 79 onwards were Mk2 facelifts - there was in reality never a mk3.
Some parts of the facelift were a step backward in my opinion and made the car look like it was trying to stay young with modern plastic trim and tat. I kept the facelift front end but ditched all that. When you strip that crap away, you can see the family resemblance to its mightier cousins across the pond.
I have the ABS brake system from the Cosworth Sierra and the Duratec V6 with VVT from a Ford S-type
still working on it but hope to have her done for Christmas when my brother and his family come from NZ
Am I the only one of is anyone else doing something like this?
here she is
