- Something bit different for you guys today! We thought we would experiment and bring something new to your screens, today, we are driving and also trying to launch the 4x4 Cosworth Capri build by Peter 'Rusty' Kennedy! The turbo noises on this thing are something different, who needs power when you have that sound

On Saturday I bought a 1970 mk1 2000 gt Capri 😁 I’ve turned more heads in the last 5 days then I have in my whole 55 year life!!! It’s a stunning looking car totally restored and I’m pretty sure it turns more heads then any super car!!
Beautiful car 😍 absolute credit to its builder!
I must admit I love it when people spin their heads round as I drive past in my old 309 Gti, you can’t beat the feeling of nostalgia 👌👍
Ooosh!!! Just wait until that new turbo is on!!
Is 'WOO' your car mate?

Nice classic back when they were current i built a motor for my 2.8 injection, it was a 2.8 block with cosworth crank bored and stroked to 3.6l. Fitted with 2.9 big valve ported heads, reworked block to take a chain driven 2.9 fast road cam. 2.9 6 runner manifold and plenum reworked for k jet with shorter injectors from escort rs turbo, finally custom fabricated headers. A lot of work but kept the engine number correct and looking fairly standard under hood. It made 300hp with ancillarys fitted on a engine dyno. Mated to a modified 5speed to stop laygear bearings destroying themselves all being fed to road with standard lsd. It livened it up and taught you about oversteer! Sold for peanuts before they became desirable.
Great drive and you can never bet seeing a classic car on the road on a sunny day.
I remember having a full stainless exhaust fitted to my Escort RS Turbo. Apparently it was the first in the UK at the time. I had a dump valve fitted and K&N at the same time. I think it must of been a couple of weeks before I turned the stereo on. I just loved listening to hearing the turbo spool up, the exhaust roar and the dump valve when changing gear. Really good times.
That's what I like about driving my Z3 2.8 6cylinder the noise the feel..can't beat it and always puts a smile on my mug when I floor it !
It's a 4 cylinder cosworth, not a 6 cylinder
Old car driving experience
Can't beat seeing a old car on the road you could be in a 1.3 capri and heads well turn but see that car is something. Hope to see it again I remember seeing 1 in runcorn years ago smiler colour
LONG LIVE THE COSWORTH YB ❤❤❤👍👍👍✌😆
You can hear the joy in your voice pal. Lovely video. Car sounds great. 👍
Woo is definitely well known in Mossley and the surrounding areas, good to see the car being used shame I missed it be driven
Known well round tameside
You extremely lucky lucky man driving such an icon
Yeah lovely Capri mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video, can't beat a good relaxing drive in an old car, and that's one fine Capri
I remember Rusty’s garage well. Still had a few Sierras parked outside it until relatively recently. Nice vid 👍
Sounds mint. 👌
Running only 300 now!! Was alot more when Rusty took me out in it after i built his turbo!! Happy times😁😁
Do you still turbos? If so message me on Facebook as this needs a new one.
Would be good to have the original person involved 👍
@@TwinEngineCorsa
Messaged you!
@@leemarshall1792 thanks Lee
That garage you pointed out is I think where I had a hybrid turbo fitted to my Saab maybe 6 years ago. My dad always had capris so I grew up in them, very nice example. Sounds amazing 👌👍
Lovely video , such a tastefully maintained car. Perfect basically……
I miss rolling about in my Lancia Delta, that thing got some looks and questions.
I remember this being featured in Max Power mag.... great video👍👍
Was featured twice in Max power
Remember the car in 90s and rusty himself i was only a nipper dad being part of the manchester capri club and living in tameside denton!
Great to see the capri out and having fun it. I've got a mk4 gsi turbo I'm giving a light restoration and I just want a nice older turbo hatchback to have some summer fun in. Your right go too far with the power and it causes more headaches than the fun you have. Nice balance of driveablity and power. Great content as always buddy
Totally agree with you that modern cars insulate u frm every little thing. I think that if i let a 2000 born person 1 of my 1st cars bk in the day they would think that it was a track car or something for the weekend (it was a mk1 Escort). Sensory overload would come to mind for people of a certain age.
Great video keep up the good work
Love it, things said in this vid are 100% true, both my gsi and vxr zafiras have open filters just to hear the turbo and having done that I now drive it the way you explain to ya lad, little throttle on pull away and gear change and let it make all the turbo noises, love it and I have been a v8 driver in the past (great stuff when your 22 in a svt mustang 😉) Adam I will 100% be coming for a chat at the vauxhall show at the pod. Top vid yet again
Great. You really are in love with this Beast 👍👍
It started life as a blue 1.6 capri laser rusty turned it into a 450 bhp 4x4 cosworth watched it get built from day one, i would love to meet and see the owner lee, one story was rusty got offered £15k for it back in the day and we thought he was mad for not excepting that offer, probably worth around £70-100k now that is one beautiful car 🏎️ it was my pleasure to drive it at the time he used to let me take it to get some nosebag aka food 🥘 those were the days. rip peter aka rusty
2.0 LS. Handicap / mobility car with an automatic transmission
Yeah old school wins all the time hands down there’s nothing like the old school now
I was the one that supplied rusty with the legit donar 4x4 sapphire cosworth 1990 with only 2k on the clock also the Honda crx seats mostly everyone knows I’m a Asian lad known as nick the driver aka nicky Schumacher 🏎️ 😊 rip rusty (Peter) him and rocky were the elite mechanics’s back in the day
Some say i was the reason why cosworth’s were uninsurable at the time 😮
Woo is ace, I've been given a mk 3 GL 2 litre. I'm also same age as your son 23. Unfortunately been in a garage for 20 years or so. Needs some work but can't wait to get her on the road
Believe me mate, everyone in Mossley, above 35, knows that car.
I like the exhaust, awesome car 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
A Manta 400 or a turbo powered manta b gte would be perfect for me as I prefer a manta over a capri. I can pretend I'm jimmy mcrae haha or bertie fischer
Nice car
im just fkn jealous
You can tell that’s been well built especially the way it can drive about the streets at 30 mph no problem and yet can burst into life when accelerator is planted and still no miss a beat! By the way the exhaust system to me keeps the car looking the way a 2.8 injection was and it suits it to a tee! Good video again mt
Have to disagree real 2.8 boxes were much smaller these just look to big and ruin the lines of the capri.
@@chrisclarke6344 yeah the boxes on the 2.8 were smaller but in reality sitting behind it you would think it was v6 with 2 exhausts instead of a cossie motor that’s what I was getting at
@@brianpender7872 yes but it would look cleaner with just tailpipes, those boxes make it look like an 80s sierra or fiesta with the huge 'ive been tuned' exhaust. I had stock tail pipes on mine and they flowed well enough for a n/a 3.6 motor to make 300hp, see my other comment in this item for full description of that build. Its horses for courses but i prefer the discreet looks of standard or near standard pipes, it helps with the 'Q' car look as well.
@@chrisclarke6344 yeah it could look cleaner with the smaller pipes I agree but with the overall build quality that rusty had done to the car was remarkable and I don’t think after the story of this car that I could change those back boxes on it to anything else! That’s the way he built it and it’s tribute to him ! Cheers Chris will check out your link mt!
@@brianpender7872 yes it is a piece of history, its just my take on the exhausts, never been a fan of big boxes whether they on capris, sierras, imprezas, evos etc. It was his choice and car should stay as it is. Personally i would rather see 15" 7 spokes from the 280 brooklands as well especially as its painted in the brooklands green. But the cross spokes were the builders choice so should all remain as it is. Its a nice capri wish i still had mine! Got a jag xfr with 600hp now but the capri was a driving experience especially in the wet!
So how much is that Capri worth then As it is now all finished and done like that
Bottom row brown door his gaff. Paint shop is pats .
You know it mate
@@b654woo found the performance ford magazine with it inn the over day parked at dovies.
Where's your black Corsa these days,
What engine is in it, ?
Them where the days cruiseing the streets of Manchester 👍
Still in a garage in same condition pal.
3.0 v6.
Good days back then pal.
Absolutely beaut, one to tell the grand kids about that...
Has that got some kind of short linkage kit?
Hi is there any chance of a meet up with woo only live 15 mins away from hearts head pud I Knew rusty he worked on my cosworth thanks steve
What DVD and fit right in in the garden I’ve never seen it so can you record it and put it on here please so I can see it
The DVD is called “At Full Throttle” with Jeremy Clarkson (2000) google this an it will come up.
Jesus I thought u were never going to get in the car !!
Did he change the whole front inner fender or did he weld the upper half of it ? And those front strut are the same length as the capri?
All past the bulkhead is Sierra cosworth
Think this car was mentioned on the smith and sniff podcast this week.
Do you have a link pal
ua-cam.com/video/X6BeIudGEqc/v-deo.html not sure where in podcast it is but Rich recalls the owner of a capri on location with Clarkson saying mines faster than that to each car and the crew thinking like f#@k. Then it went against the fastest they had there and left it for dead.
@@andrewgreen7778 that was at the At Full throttle shoot in 2000

Modern cars are overly refined, the driver is isolated from the actual driving experience- which is sterile and not very engaging as a general rule. Older cars are far more involving to drive, which makes them a much more interesting experience. DSG gearboxes on modern tin do all the work for the driver- and reduce driver involvement. It's far more rewarding to use a manual box- because it requires thought process and driver engagement. There is nothing better than getting a splash gear change absolutely spot on, it's very rewarding because it requires some skill on behalf of the driver. Even in terms of steering feel, old cars beat modern tin- they now use electric power steering- which once again, reduces feedback and feel from the driver- making the experience sterile and uninvolving. I own two classics- an 84 'A' plate Capri Injection which I have owned for nigh on 28 years, it's modified extensively beneath the skin and punts out 285 Bhp and a tad under 300 lbs ft of torque. It is hugely satisfying to drive, with excellent driveability when pottering around at 30 mph. It's civilised and docile- but when you put the hammer down, it turns into an animal! Driving it at normal road speeds, is extremely satisfying and engaging- the sound of the engine and exhaust note, swopping cogs, meaty feeling power steering etc. I also own a 1971 Rover P6 3500 auto- it's a fabulous car to drive- superb ride quality- far better than *any* modern car in terms of ride comfort. The sound of the V8 wuffle is deeply satisfying- even whilst bimbling around at low speeds. It's such an involving experience- sensory overload springs to mind. It's an effortless cruiser- ideal for touring. It generates a huge amount of attention on the road and at petrol stations- it has an innate quality which many people appreciate. It's far more rewarding to own and drive than any modern metal. Bottom line? Older cars like Rusty's Capri are very involving and rewarding machines to own and drive- they have soul. Modern cars are less involving, more complex and generally SOULLESS. Real driver's appreciate this point! Enjoyed seeing this legendary Capri cruising around it's home town! Thanks for sharing! :)
No we don’t need ev’s mate the fuel wasted digging lithium will never ever be self producing. Ie costs 50 grand in wages and making a battery that costs 10k in a 30k tesla, how I know that,customer blew battery using warp mode and it was 10k for new battery exchange didn’t ask for non exchange price guessing 20k
You can get the cars to sound like that now . What are you going on about you plum . Your driving a car with uprated exhaust. Engine , dump valves that have been added. Dump valves sound good if your 14 years old.
Needs them wheels swapping
And the back boxes just ruins the look.
that was a bit disappointing, you didn't even rag it.
Oh so it wasn't built not far from me as I am from Huddersfield which is only other side of Standedge tunnel
Woo was just at the side of me on the A34, he treated me to some beans, sounded mint👌🏻
Try and keep up lol
