yodi Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 U bought this to fit my alleycats too, my 1st Capri 1.6 with 104k, the guy I bought it off bought it from Ford when it was 9 months old :banana: :banana: Any advice/opinions? Cheers, Yodi
atomic punk Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Looks pretty straight & tidy, shame bout that crusty arch tho thats not too difficult to fix
RFChris Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Nice, but throw that engine away....bigger IS better!
Capripete Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Looks like a clean one, get the arch sorted, bit of wind in the tyres and get out in it!
antz Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 looks damn clean! id replace the wheel arch though it looks as crusty as david dickinsons skin!
Mr Sam Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 tidy it up and enjoy run that engine into the ground cruising around or until you get bored then fit a V8 you know it makes sence
yodi Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Apparently it starts with no issues too but its only a 1600, how hard is it to convert to pinto ?? He has had it since 9 months old
Wessie Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 it cant be that hard to convert its certainly got room under there , nice buy
marky4 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 get the arch sorted and you got a clean motor there
emu Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Apparently it starts with no issues too but its only a 1600, how hard is it to convert to pinto ?? He has had it since 9 months old Itll already be a pinto, 2 litre will bolt straight in.
yodi Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Itll already be a pinto, 2 litre will bolt straight in. Music to my ears
Infectus-Guy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I see it has an original parcel shelf, if it's in good nick store it away out of the sunlight and sit on it. People go mad for solid originals. Anyway awesome buy, that engine should still be sweet and if you've got room stash it away. Too many decent 1.6 pintos are being binned these days, you never know how much it may be worth too. Guy
yodi Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Hi mate, I dont know the condition of teh shelf yet but ill take a look and report back What are they worth then?
jay Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 looks like a sweet first capper mate, love the colour too.......
Messenjah Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 am i going to be murdered for cutting holes in my shelf for some 6x9s then
Wessie Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 would be a waste of a parcel shelf ice is extra weight leave it out !
emu Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 am i going to be murdered for cutting holes in my shelf for some 6x9s then If it was uncut beforehand then yes, im afraid so. Now hold still
105Nick Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Why don't you just fit a decent exhaust? Beats any of that crap ICE install, if not then buy one that has been cut and store the original away.
Capripete Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Yup, if its in good nick put it away somewhere, good ones are like hens teeth.
yodi Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 So what is a good shelf worth? Also are there any Capri forums?
Pipster007 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 So what is a good shelf worth? Guide price - CCi do remanufactured new ones for about £50 Nice buy btw. I havn't seen many in that colour blue though
yodi Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 Cheers mate, TBH I dont know much about them at all though lol, my mate had to tell me it was a mk3 lol
Pipster007 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 TBH I dont know much about them at all though lol, my mate had to tell me it was a mk3 lol
yodi Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 I knew I shouldnt have admitted that lol, been around old fords for years though is that counts Had a fair few mk1 and mk2 esorts too
Pipster007 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Had a fair few mk1 and mk2 esorts too Do you know which ones were which
