greenfordpop Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Bought this motor almost a year ago now.Not done anything to apart from put some miles on the clock,but the car is waiting for a new set of wheels and a front bumper.Which will be done by March/April. It runs a Pinto with all caprl running gear.One day will change the back axle (to a MK1 Cortina) so i can run my 15" 7J banded steels. But in the mean time need to sort out the hand brake (has anyone got a pic of a Capri Mk3 rear axle, so i can see how the hand brake is set up, pretty please!!) One day i will paint it black, still finding it a novety having a car with paint and my missis likes it. laters greenfordpop aka Barry
Stu_B Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Lovely car mate followed it through Cannington & up the bypass once.
surfingturnip Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 wow, that looks amazing. Proper old skool pimping
escortmad79 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Would look the nuts slammed on airbags
DarrenM Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 That was built by my mate Andy Smith of Hereford. He's doing a MK1 Consul now, 2 door conversion, nosed, decked slammed and all the other Kustom touches!
DarrenM Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Yes I'll get pics next time I'm there!
steveh105 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Very nice indeed, another cool old skool foord down in the west country Steve
285Andy Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 looks ace! it'd be interesting to see what it looks like with different wheels
bortaf Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Thats cool I know chap with a 4Dr rally one he raced back in 60's and 70's still has it in his garage
greenfordpop Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Yep, thats right! I first saw Andy and his Konsul at BIBIC car show in 2006 and i said to him then if he ever wanted to sale it give me a ring.That was Sunday and by Tuesday he rang up and asked if i was still interested in the car.Went to Hereford on the following Sunday where i saw his MK1 Consul (can`t wait to see that on the road), but we couldn`t agree on a price. I think it was the next weekend he sold it to Colin (kustomcol) in Stevenage who`s also in UK Kustoms and i bought it from him Feb last year!
Liam. Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 them photos... was that the ridge runners meet last year? if so i was there had my granada saloon and my mate had a granada hearse.
greenfordpop Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 Yep! Thats the blue ridge runners show at BIBIC. The pic`s of the Konsul were taken in 2006. I remember seeing a flamed Granny at Cricket St Thomas show last year. Is anyone doin` the two blue ridge runners shows this year? greenford pop AKA Barry
Liam. Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 i will hopefully be at both of them, dont no what in yet, but im in the process of selling all my banger racing gear + truck to buy somthing for the shows and keep the granny for a daily driver.
