Stuart recently dropped me an email to show us all his super cool Capri! 👍
He took the time to include a really decent write up so I'll let him tell us about the car in his own words:
"Hi Marcus here are the pictures of my 1.6 LS capri, as you can see its matt black which has been painted for around 3 years so its looking a bit tired now as the sun and my clumsiness has taken it's toll.
The wheels have done some turns, they are cyclones which are fitted with 175/50/13 Nankang tyres.
The running gear is a standard 1.6 axle standard and propshaft with a type9 gearbox. Up front are bilstein 2.8 capri front suspension legs with standard vented discs and standard callipers.
The engine I first fitted after giving the car a ground up restoration on a budget was a Xflow which blew up and was fairly quick. Now it is running a 1600 Pinto with a 2ltr head, which runs very well considering it was just lying around for years before it was fitted. To my surprise, the engine doesn't use any oil or water which for now is good enough for me..
The velour interior is from a 2.8i capri, with a brand new roof lining in black.
I haven't put any pictures of the engine bay as I haven't had the time to redress everything. It's slightly dirty and needs some paint here and there but mainly just needs a good clean. As you know matt black is a nightmare to keep clean.
I do also own a 1981 Capri GL which is in need of some TLC, a Hillman Hunter estate that is very rusty, and a Ford Puma which is a 1.7 Zetec S."
Thanks for getting in touch Staurt! Feel free to send over some pics of the other cars, especially the other Capri! 👍
