racingbrett Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've mentioned my other cars in different places so thought id show them of a little.First up is the 1969 mk1 capri its an auto 1600gt xlr all original with 44k miles on the clock, currently mid way through a full restoration so she isnt looking pretty at the moment but here is a before image (still looking not to bad)Next up is a rear engined GTM Rossa this was a bit of an impulse buy of ebay, a good price but so much had been bodged it became my nightmare car, currently gets parked up over the winter and without fail she needs a new brake and clutch master cylinder each summer, no matter what I do, where I park her or how I cover her they always jam up solid, if there was room in the car I'd go with a pedal box but at 6ft2 its tight as it is, She runs on a mix of mini/ metro gear, mostly mini with metro turbo brakes up front, She has a 1380 med built bottom end, omega pistons, heavily worked head, mild cam, lcb with a custom exhaust (lovely sound) and a dellorto 45 dhla. never been on the rollers so I couldnt say what she is making, tuning was done by the old seat of the pants method, I dare say more could be had with a proper rr session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I haven't seen one of those Capris for ages! At least 10 years... must be rare now. Can't wait to see it restored. But it takes many hours to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
