Definately mk1webby. I'll give u a go down the strip too. Providing I got the cappa by then. And as long as your not still running the engine in?

It's going to have to be a pinto lump. From what u gus are saying. I don't think the 2.8 is going to be as good as the pinto for what I want to do. Plus after speaking to some mates. I'm sure it will be a lot cheaper. Plus I have been offered a tuned pinto head from a good friend. So that has kinda sealed it. The 2.8 has got all the toys and stuff. But I dint want a car to drive around in. I want summin to play around with and go drag racing in. So the pinto without Its power steering will be great. And as for the interior. That's coming out. And I got a pair of Cobra Monaco S's sat at home. Just waitin for the car. Still hoping to make the 6th June osf show. Mark

Yeh. I wasn't planning on keeping it standard for very long, think it's going to have to be a pinto. I want something relatively cheap and easy to play around with.

I'm looking to buy my first classic ford. And I've always wanted a mk3 Capri. But I'm unsure of what engine Would be the best choice? My plan was to strip it out fit bucket seats etc, play around with the engine in a garden shed in my spare time, And go drag racing. I have some mechanical know how. And I know that a tuned 2 litre 4pot can give great performance, but is it better to just have pure displacement? Any suggestions please? Cheers Mark

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm sure you will be hearing from me soon.
