Thought I wanted to share my recent project with all of you..

The car is a 1976 Ford Capri 1.6s, Bought the car from a guy in Molde, he had been working on the car for about 8 years. When he suddenly had to sell without getting chance of finishing the car..

From when i picked it up


Stuffed my Lightning full with parts, along with filling the capri with parts..



Some randon picts before the job started..

Cosworth brakeassistant

Mocal oil remote and cooler system with thermostat

Complete rebuilt 2wd engine, with stage 3 setup



Some lovely fog lights..:P

Tinted windows..

Custom gearbox mounting


Then the job is on..
The rear hatch was rusted so desicion was to get rid of it and get a new one.
Lucky me broke the window when trying to take it out.



Mint turbospoiler.

Took of the bumper ect.

Got the car in the garage and on jack stands

Mounted vented brakes with spaced put calipers.

Rewired entire engine loom with techflex.



Cleaned up in wiring inside the car, removed alot of wiring, from old stereo ect.


Removed the tinting on the windows.

Mounted legal taillights.


Small damage under front light was fixed.





Mounted new vakuum piping


Made myselfe a new gearstick.:P


Bought brakekit on fleebay


Took out the old props and found out that they where not straight, so new ones 2pcs along with new lsd diff will be ordered.


Shotblastered alot of parts and got them painted.




New mouldings from CCI


Removed the "carpet" under the hood


Made all the piping for turbo, filter and intercooler, them painted them.



Latest picts of the engine, starting to see the end of the build.. :P




Then I bought new wheels, 8x15 and 10x15. Cant wait to get them and try them on..



Here`s the video from the engine was first started.. The man I bought it from had never started it because of alot of electrical problems..

mint project

 

Those wheels are going to look fantastic!!!!!!!

 

That's a really cool project - best of luck with it

 

Awesome project,built a cossie turbo capri myself.

 

Thanks for comments all...

I must add that this car will be ready for spring when first ford meet is on, and is going to be the same until next vinter when it then will be stripped and painted in Phanter Black.
Maybe also a rollcage will find its way..

 

Nice to see the tints removed, crappy tail lights removed, scruffy wheels gone, naff foglights in the bin, tasty engine bay etc. etc.

Shame it's LHD but such is life

Edit: LHD in Norway makes sense

 

Awesome project! Can't wait for the updates! Especially with the wheels!

 

looks great pal
YB'd aswell, ull av some fun in it when done

 

Awesome Capri, love it !

 

Small upadate from todays activity..

Alot of surface rust in the boot..


After alot of grinding and rubbing, then sanding down, rust treatment, and then painting, this it the result..

 

Small update today, mounted camcover, turbocover, and a tiny washer bottle..





Hope u like..

 

Today i fitted a new fusebox under the dash, these will be working fans, instruments, gas pump ect...
Also sorted out alot of other wiring, main wire from rear battery to starter ect.
Think it turned out kinda nice, just need some labeling..

 

can't wait to see it on them rims.

 

Thats the sad thing, I got a mail from Ebay, they had closed the account of the person I won them from, because he had been abused the account and sold item that never existed, lucky me I had`nt payed for them yet. So i am now in search for som new wheels..

Got my fuel pump bracket on friday, had to get it painted before fitting...

 

Cool project, bit different to see a yb in a capri, rather than an escort

Is your car quite a rare one? As they started the mk3 in 1977

 

Cool project will follow this

Loving the wheels!

 

The car isnt any rare, but think maybe some of the previous owners have changed the vings and hood..

 

awsome project, shame about them rims, they would have looked awsome.

 

Yesterday I took out the brakeassistant, to find thiiiiiis... Some surface rust and alot of holes, from the previous owner..


Sanded it down, a good wash and then painting..
Tomorrow i will plug all the holes and mount the assistant again.. Have also made wiring harness for the main and vakuumpump on the assistant so that one works..

Mounted the ecu again, this time with proper earth.



More update will come tomorrow..
