It has a 2l Pinto in it that has had a new cam installed/porting/polishing/big valves installed and other minor things. Also have put extractors on it and a full exhuast as well as a larger Weber carby off a XD Falcon if I remember right. (all done early last year)

Also put 15 inch Superlites on as well as a rear spoiler, GT bonnet and re did the interior. Manual of course..

Any others with Capris out there? I am thinking of selling it but am not sure that I want to now that summer is coming!

Looks great. Ive got a Capri in my backyard but it is in a very bad condition. One day i am planning to vit a 302 but i have to finish other project cars first.

Looks nice, clean and straight. I love the Capris', very good example you got there.
Oh by the way, if you fog the rear # plate, don't forget the front aswell, cheers.

damn that looks so good..is that the original colour?

I remember you where selling that a little while back..I will be in need of a new car in about 3-4 months so if its still around I would be interested.

Is it siutable as a daily driver?

BA GT-HO · 10-08-2003, 07:35

Yeah mate nothing wrong with driving it everyday. It has been resprayed about 5 years ago I would think and yes vermillion (orange) was the original colour. Are you from SA? If so keep in touch as I may be selling it in 3 - 4 months time...

FoMoCo4eva · 10-08-2003, 19:05

nah im in vic..but I would definitely drive down to have a look when Im in need of a car...

do you have any other pics of the car?..engine bay, interior etc...

oh and is there any rust??? sorry I had to ask, please dont be offended, just all late l=model escorts and capris ive seen have had a little bit.

BA GT-HO · 10-08-2003, 21:31

I don't have any pictures of the engine bay etc uploaded as I havent had the time yet. There is some minor rust here and there but nothing major to get worried about.

Mmmm, nice.

So, if you do sell it, what are you going to replace it with? :)
