I have two cars, but I'll tell you about my "real" car, not the work one!
1986 ford capri 2.0 laser. Currently has 69,000 miles on the clock, converted it to the fuel injection system off a ford granada which still isnt running right! I'll put a few pics on, any questions I'll answer!

:High five:
I assume the last 3 pics are how it stands now?

I can’t say I like the front splitter thing. But other than that it look like you did a great job of bringing it back to former glory. How bad was the rust? On the pic it looks like it was not attacked so badly.

Also a white and a black Capri on the same forum. :lol:

Top pic is probably the newest actually, didnt really get them in date order (oops!)
Splitter only goes on for the summer, otherwise it collects so much salt and grit its a nightmare! Rust wasnt too bad, one patch on the leading edge of the bonnet, part on the scuttle by the passenger side of the windscreen, and the lower part of the drivers wing below the rubbing strip, needs a new wing really but I think I'm gonna save up for an X-pack ;)
Wheres the photos of yours then T16?? :P

Yes it a long term project, but sadly it’s on hold because the T16 needs an MOT (syn over here) and a few other things and it has priority over the Capri.

Thanks for the forum suggestion I will remember that till when I start working on the Capri again.

I hope you will get rid of the stock manifold on that cossie v6.

A very good example how to ruin a good engine that is.
