RSACapri Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 OK, so here are the pics of my cars: 1972 Capri MK1 (pre-facelift) 3.0L GT Front: Back: Engine: Interior: As you can see, there is a lot of work waiting, but at least the body is still is a good condition with minimal rust. The engine bay has the most work and needs some tlc. The interior is ok, but has a couple of rips in the seats. The Anglia 105E (997cc): Front: Side: This car is still 100% standard and appart from a couple of scratches and dings on the body, it is in very good condition. She always starts with the first attempt!! This is probably the most reliable car that I have owned.
mossy Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 that capri is quality! what wheels are on it....they look shiny!
over_head_cam Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Very nice. Looks like the SA weather looks after the OSFs quite well
RSACapri Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks all. A little update: I blew a head gasket a while ago and, while I had to open the motor up, added a upgrade or 2. I got me a set of gasflowed heads and an intake manifold that has 2 x 38DGas Weber carbs. Should be getting the car back this week. I will post the dyno results. that capri is quality! what wheels are on it....they look shiny! The wheels are the original Rosstyle (not sure about the spelling though ), but they were widened a bit. It has 205/60/13 tyres on.
RSACapri Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 OK, so it has been a while since I promised you an update. The car isn't set up 100% yet, as we went away on holiday and all my available funds went into that. I will try and get it done this month so that I know what kind of power we are talking about. As promised, here's the pics of the engine: Any thoughts?
Jimsiss Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 that does look nice, keep up the good work
Admin Vista Posted October 3, 2006 Admin Report Posted October 3, 2006 Looks nice, how easy to get hold of in South Africa are the Mk1 Perana V8 capris that you guys were lucky enough to get?
RSACapri Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 All I need now is to get it set up... will post a dyno sheet as soon as it is done! that does look nice, keep up the good work Thanks Looks nice, how easy to get hold of in South Africa are the Mk1 Perana V8 capris that you guys were lucky enough to get? Hmmm.... yes, the Perana.... what a shweet ride that is!! They go for around R50,000 or £3,500 ... that is if you can get one. They are becomming very hard to find these days... come to think of it... I haven't seen one advertised for ages!!!
Admin Vista Posted October 3, 2006 Admin Report Posted October 3, 2006 £3500??? next time you see one I want it!! Now, how could I get it back here?
Guest V6MAT Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 love soth african cars any 3.0s's or xr6's about???? would like another 3.0s also do you know where there are seats like these really want a set
RSACapri Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 £3500??? next time you see one I want it!! Now, how could I get it back here? Ghees, you guys are lucky... In good old SA, we are not allowed to import ANY vehicles... apparently it isn't a problem up there... All the old Jap cars seem to get dumped there. If you can sort out all the import stuff on your side, I will try source you a nice Perana... even try organise the shipping.... for a small commission off course I know I have there is some guy that imported a genuine Perana to Europe somewhere.... just cant seem to find the link now.... Found it... http://www.capriv8.de/joe-engl.html love soth african cars any 3.0s's or xr6's about???? would like another 3.0s I take it you are referring to the cortina's, cos we has Sierra XR6's after the Cortina's were discontinued.... SO, I pulled out of the junkmail newspaper for you: "CORTINA XR6 3.0: 1981. Cream. Mags. Good running cond. R.16000 onco" - that's about £1,100.....Although I must warn you... these cars are normally not in a great condition... also do you know where there are seats like these really want a set No, unfortunately not.... will have a look around though!!
RSACapri Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 your capper sweet matey....... Thanks

RSACapri Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 Love the capri, looks Is that a Standard anglia. they are very rare now. Thanks. Yip, the Anglia is still 100% standard!!! It is due for an upgrade in the Carb devision as the current one is fooked, and no service kits available. Got a single choke 32ICH, just need to get it done now!!
