    ..Back in the early 80's, I did 3yrs in the Army working in the Transport dept with access to an inspection pit, tools and compressor. We were all at it, and when I left, I got into small repairs and engine tuning in my mothers' garage. I remember cusomizing a Ford Capri 3.0L E, K Reg, '71. It took me 6 months. It turned out very nice, dark Burgundy with flaired arches and a crushed red velvet dash and door cards, huge tyres and TWO bright yellow radio ariels front to back and massive spotlights on the front bumper. Was a good looker for back then. Can't believe it would be 53 yrs old now..!! Fond memories indeed.

      I was with you until the two yellow ariels! Ha ha! ( I had five Capris in total back in the seventies, absolutely hooked on them and fortunately I’ve had some nice Fords since then too) - Did you have a CB radio then?

      @@philtucker1224 Thanx m8. Yeah, I really enjoyed working on that. I loved it. They were a fantastic looker... and so it was time to sell it, and I put it in the drive with a @FOR SALE@ sign on it , and this guy knocks on the door wanting to have a look at it. I go outside and OMG, you should have seen HIS Capri..!! It was absolutely awesome. You've never seen anything so beautiful in your life. Obviously, alot of money and resourses to do that kind of job. You could just open the doors in my mums garage and I had a hydraulic jack and axle stands and a #25 tool box from Halfords. Good 'ol days. I loved that Capri and loved them ever since.

      @@philtucker1224 Good cars for sure. I had a mint RED 1973 Mercury Capri, bought it in CA for 500$ with a blown motor. New 2.0 L engine, bored, built, cam, racing weber and some tuning, it had 250 hp. Automatic could not hold the power, changed the trans at least 3 times. Fact, the car was made in Germany and handled like a 911. Had one of them too. Fun car. Chick magnet. The 3.5L car looks and sounds really sick.

    You need to meet Gary Ball he owned and built the car and does all carbon fibre parts he is now building another MK1 Escort with a Chevy V8 LS engine and I am not sure if he is turbo charging it. As for this one you could turbo it or put a TVR spec 4.5 Rover V8 in it. One thing is I bet it’s fun to drive as most new cars are a bit numb to drive

    Nice escort,
    I bought a lovely red mk 1 1300gt escort from lenny medlars huge scrap yard 30 years ago
    Remember old lenny medlars used to buy actually decent cars
    The mk1 1300gt red escort black vinyl roof
    1 owner literally an old lady who took car to local garage they put 2 new Ford wings on it and mot car about to respray the wings and the old lady passed away
    Lenny medlar used to buy hundreds of cars from the auctions
    Anyway I chopped the roof to 18 inches
    Put a essex V6 capri engine and gearbox propshaft and axle
    Obviously I had to have certain things cut and trimmed and I had to put bubble arches on the car
    Man it drove fantastic until it always happened when you're young with a young family you get a ridiculous offer
    And you sell the car
    The other was a red mk1 3l twin headlights 3l gt gtxl black vinyl roof lol. Mint condition
    I had lowered the car and tuned the engine until it blew up
    So I fitted a rover 3.5 V8 engine which was really easy just had to have prop cut and balanced
    Trouble was the V8 rover engine was made of Alloy and was much more lighter than the heavy cast iron V6 capri engine
    And made the car sit 4 inches higher at the front lol
    That car would topnout 150 mph straight through twin exhausts lol
    My lovely gold mk3 3l ghia automatic capri
    I dislike automatics lol well at that young age 😂
    So I changed it to manual again pedal swap clutch gearbox few other little changes but easy enough
    Had that car for number of years and few months after I got married it gets stolen
    My reg FTW 7T I BOUGHT THE NUMBER PLATE just for keep sake my wife dislike the car because it was new
    KITCHEN or CAR
    and sadly I chose car perhaps we we are now separated 😔
    My mk2 lotus cortina
    Took serval attempts to buy it at auction over 3 months and eventually paid £800 plus fees
    Remember over 30 years ago or probably more stuff wasn't as valuable then as it is now
    Engine was seized solid
    I stripped engine got it all running and washed and polished
    And basically just left it in my garage for 6 years until again sigh 😕
    Someone offers you ridiculous amount of money and you sell it
    I think I sold car for £8000
    Which sounds fantastic but 5 years after that the prices for lotus cortinas went mad
    And it passed hands for £25000
    And now they are worth serious money
    Numous mk2 1600E cortinas
    Remember I was born in mid sixties and both my sons are in there thirties but only one is a fully qualified car bodyshop mechanic
    Anyway my last car i gave to my oldest son just few days ago
    Ive owned it since 2002
    Its a 2000 black Honda integra type R dc2
    But professionally upgraded to T4 Turbo the engine had forged pistons almost everything was of high quality forged lightweight to make as much HP but to be reliable and drivable
    It runs 400BHP at the wheels
    And I used to go to the F1 events as security
    Even met the doctor at Donnington in superbikes
    He was looking at the car but I didn't know who he was and could not understand him and TBH he sounded like a little girl
    Much to my embarrassment when someone corrected me
    I basically ignored Rossi and told him to bugger off what a idiot am I
    Coupled with that I bought and sold loads of vintage mopeds scooters and motorbikes
    But sadly due to a recent stroke that why I gave my oldest son my car
    What should we do about cars keep them
    But unless you have the space to keep them warm and dry and fully maintain them
    They will just sit there and rust or parts seize up

    Thing is sick, but I'd definitely look into a cam, valves, lifters, guides and springs if you're going to be revving that poor Buick/Rover V8 that high, I definitely heard some float going on a few times lol.... and keep that heat in check, or all that aluminum is going to be worthless 😅

    Lovely machine, the mods aren't to my taste though, I'm not keen on the size of the splitter, wing or wheel arches though the latter is unavoidable to fit the doner TVR and the Jag rear axle.
