In the garage...

FEEL FREE TO SEND US PHOTOS OF YOUR CAPRI IF IT IS STILL "IN THE GARAGE" SO WE CAN FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS...




PROGRESS REPORT:

1971 Mk 1 GT V6. I decided the 3L wasn't enough so am putting in a 302w/5L.
Will be street legal as going through an engineer like Volker. Am upgrading most things, 9 inch, roll cage, 5 stud 4WDisc brakes etc.
Engine is Gas research Twin Carb Twin Convertor with around 400hp but as it has taken so long to get it this far, technology has changed so may end up tinkering with Gas injection later? But for now, it's just sitting in the engine bay wrapped in glad wrap and filled with oil, waiting for someone to turn the key and unleash it.

The body has had a complete strip, blast and respray in factory Wild Plum.
I have it approved by the licencing dept with 4 link coil over shocks Rear suspension (with some tub changes to help fit the LPG and Shocks). Now I've just got to talk the engineer into signing off on it!

Cheers,
Vadim
