the mk1 front has been offered up and is ready to be fitted and the supercharger arrived the other day and the block is going in next week to be honed and then the rebuild can begin! does anyone know of anywhere cheap in cornwall for chemical cleaning and if anyone can laser cut some decompression plates if i gave them some CAD drawings???

get some pics up of the p100 mate 
although i gotta ask, have you considered any other engines??
ive seen people give the old 2.8i and 2.9i 12v's big licks of cash and not get much power as a result.
its a nice engine and sounds beautiful though

10K+ Poster!!
Looking forward to seeing some more photos and updates, sounds like an interesting project
Next time you post photos press enter between each one so they are underneath each other instead of side by side, makes it much easier to view the thread

Hi. Have you considered coilovers? Do you have any idea of what it would been if you removed the springs (leafsprings?) and mounted coilvers instead? Will it be functional?
Love the P100's

I have considered loads of options like at first was going to have it 4x4 and even had the whole front running gear and everything ready and have the sierra rear end sitting ready to be offered up ! but did a couple of calc's and found i would have compromised a fair bit of power! i have finally decided i would keep it live axle as i would have more power and it would be loads more fun!!!!! a capri rear axle will go on eventually its all ready including 2" lowering blocks just want it to go through the MOT first so i get a bit of enthusiasm back!!!!

the thunder saloon one looke silly tbh.
if i had the money would like to convert mine to the mk1 sierra front end like an rs 500 but would be hard making the sides look right as i could arch the front, but the arch wouldnt fit on the rear, so then would have a archles 3 door cossy front end, think it would look weird so stuck with the cossy sapphire front end.

interesting you should say that as i just put the gearbox back on the mk1 and it started making a weird noise that nobody can source or explain lmao.
does it sound like this?
i havent resolved the noise yet, but its got much quieter after a while of running :/

Nearly there!
Sorted the engine screech gave gave her a bit of a run after removing gearbox and reconnecting! put her through MOT before christmas and she came out with 1 page including small things like exhaust leaks and headlight alignment, 2 split pins on trackrod ends missing and i steering rack ball joint but im still trying to source rear leaf spring as 1 was fractured any1 got 1 i can purchase!! heres some updated picks!
just need to finish rebuilding capri rear axle with disc brakes! and then front and rear wheels can match!
Oh and lowered rear by 3 inches so not as much rake now she sits a bit flatter! will be even better with the 7 spokes on her!
