The Ford Capri Returns in 2022 - Fresh Parts, More Mods & New Wheels
Вставка

- You complained about the lack of Ford Capri content in 2021 & I've listened! I already have plenty of videos planned for the New Year - stuff that needs fixing, modifications for the track, and even some purely aesthetic bits to give the car a fresh look in 2022. Take a sneak peak at what's coming up in the first quarter of 2022.
The car in the video is my 1978 Ford Capri running a Modified 2.0 Pinto Engine. If Classic Cars are your thing, check out this playlist. Maintenance, Tech Tips, Track Days, it's all here:

Loved Capris all my life. just had the prop rebuilt and new water pump fitted to my 2.8, ready for summer now.
Nice one Nick. Just in time for show season. Got any planned?
MX5 isn’t my thing, but I still enjoy watching your videos on the upgrades though as it’s very well done. Love the Capri stuff as I’m an old school Ford guy. All of your uploads are very interesting so keep it up! Got the same super lites on my Escort and they look so cool 😎
Hey Neil. Cheers for the continued support, will get back to the old school Ford soon enough. Cheers all the best.
Great to see more Capri stuff, looking forward to future vids on it.
Great see it back
Awesome news... it was the Capri that brought me to the channel 👌
Cheers Dave 👍🏻
YEAH LOVE TO SEE MORE FROM THE CAPRI
👍🏻👍🏻
yeah great to see you working on the capri again!! such a good project
Nice one Eric, thanks!
Nice to see the Capri back
Cheers William. Thanks for sticking with the channel. Hope you enjoy the new videos!
Been following your channel for quite a few years, watched the Capri vids repeatedly as I really enjoyed them - ended up buying myself one to restore last year lol so all the tips will come in handy…
Thanks Jack. How's the restoration going??
Not too bad thanks - have the car completely stripped to the bare shell and on a spit, one side is completely finished metal work wise, new full sill, new rear corner, inner and outer, new a post, wing rail and wing and front panel repaired. Soon to be flipped over to do the next side.. more work than I anticipated but should be good when it’s all completed.
Big project! Are you doing the work yourself?
It sure is a big project. Yes completing all the work myself with the help of my Dad, he is a panel beater so it’s great to have his experience on hand!
Great skill set to have in the family!
Great to see the Capri again 👍
Thanks Jonas. Looking forward to getting out in it again
Great to see videos of capri again. I also like other things you do. Your videos have been very helpful to me, such as valve adjustments and valve stem replacement. You explain things so clearly. I have a 78 model mk3 2.0 pinto originally 1.6l and lot of work ahead. Have a nice christmas time.😁
Great to hear! Thankyou. 78, same year as mine. Is yours a bit of a mish mash of mk2 & 3 parts like mine??
@@FastRust it is. I have an early 1978 model. What's special is that it has ordered when it was a new: GT instrument cluster, rear spoiler and sunroof. Although the 1.6L is on the basic instrument cluster. I do not care the sunroof, but for the time being it must be in it when it is installed in it from the factory. 🙂
Glad to see your going back on the Capri, shame your changing the wheels I always liked banded wheels on my Capri and on the Mexico,but thats your choice, the new ones do look good, look forward to the videos and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care mate
Thankyou mate. Yeah the banded wheels did look great, just decided it's time for a change. All the best have a good one.
Love your videos and looking forward to seeing the work being done.
As a young capri owner myself I really value your tech tip/walk through videos of you completing work on the car. I'm about to start working on mine for the first time and would appreciate a tech tip video on jacking points on the car, I've seen in the Haynes manual that it points out that the outriggers are jacking points but a friend of mine said they aren't structural so was debating how to Jack the car up.
Thanks Alex. When I'm next filming with the Capri I'll do a quick video and go through jacking points. Handy time to do it as it's already on stands.
Which Capri do you have?
@@FastRust Thank you that is hugely appreciated. I have a '86 Laser with a 145bhp pinto
Great news. I have followed your supercharged MX5 videos but my main interest is ford's Capri
👍🏻 Thanks for sticking with the channel in the meantime.
Nice mate, them rims will look 🔥
Yeah cheers, I think so too. Will send you a pic when I get them on!
@@FastRust Sweet 👍
Subscribed and following for the Capri.
Got a Mk2 Escort myself, but love Capris and had the 2.0s, 3.0s and 2.8i over the years. Would definitely have another if I had the space 😁
Thanks for the sub! In the middle of editing some Capri related videos it'll be featured again soon 👍🏻 Always wanted a mk2 Escort ever since my uncle told me stories about his. Sadly by the time I was in a position to own one they were too much money! Hence the Capri. One day maybe..
Awesome to see the capri back, these videos are a life saver man ! May I ask what roll cage you are using,is it homemade or is there a specific halfcage that fits the capri off the shelf ? Thanks !
Thanks, good to be working on it again. The half cage I got from Weichers in Germany. There was a huge delay on one from Safety Devices at the time so I went with them instead. It's not a fantastic off-the-shelf fit but it does the job, & I welded in a bar for the harnesses.
Great to see the Capri again!! Will be great to see these modifications in the future. Are you keeping the banded wheels? I'm still trying to figure out what to swap my wheels out for (either banded or slot mags). While we're talking old Fords, do you know of any good regular northern meets? i'm moving back up to Manchester next year and hoping to find somewhere to go in my old Capri.
Hey mate. You're moving to Mancs! Not far from me at all. I'll give Leeds Capri Club a shout and see what shows etc they've got lined up for 2022. To be honest I haven't done much in the Capri this year, shows or otherwise so lost touch a bit. As for the banded steels I haven't made my mind up. Possibly in the New Year. Will let you know 👍🏻
@@FastRust that would be great re shows and wheels mate! I can understand with the mx5 that you haven’t had time for the Capri. Definitely going to miss the car meets down here. I’m trying my best to get the Capri finished so I have something to run around in in Manc 😂I swapped all the front suspension now it’s wandering around over 40mph after tracking, could do with a clutch too. Speak soon!
😍🤩
I knew you'd be happy!!
@@FastRust I am very very happy
You selling the banded steels?
A mate of mine has first dibs on them. I'll ask him this week and see if he still wants them.
@@FastRust will you ever make a video on extended wheel studs?
As in how to fit them?
@@FastRust yeah dude, wondering if I have to pull the rear shafts to replace them with longer ones?
I've actually filmed a tech tip on this but not edited it yet. You shouldn't have to pull shafts, no.
An Atlish axle.
Atlas. Must be the northern accent 😂
Oh. I just got it!!
@@FastRust Keep up at back lad. ;¬) X¬D
🤣😅🤣
