Evening,
Just a hello as I've been absent from this forum for a good long while.
I drive a '63 Ford Consul Capri around Nottingham that i've had for a couple of years.
Just in the process of trying to find a local garage for work like an engine and gear box swap to make the car a bit more user friendly.
Favourite weekender has to the Hayride at Bisley.
Dax

Hello Dax that makes 3 of us on here with Classic/Capri ...Whats wrong with the engine in your capri ...have you had the car all that long as she looks like shes in very good condition...
There are some great people on here so you should have some fun..
PS If you are a bit mad you'll fit in just fine..

The engine in there now is a 1500gt and run well, it's just things like pulling out to over take on the motorway being an adventure.
I've had the Capri for about 2 years and credit where it's due the guy I bought it from did a lot of the restoring work, and did it well.

As soon as I figure how to I'll put up a couple of photos. I promised to give first offer on the gt engine to another fccoc member up the road. If he doesn't need it then it'll be up for grabs. It's a genuine Consul Capri gt engine and if it was original to the car I wouldn't touch it but the car is a deluxe rather than a full gt model so it's already been changed once.

That's a nice Capri you have I think I have seen that one before...Whos is the Corsair in the back ground....
Just a thought, Have you Thought on changing the diff I had a 3.9 in mine out of a V4 corsair when I was running a 1500GT in my Classic an that seemed to go well...
If you look through the forum I have a write up on my Classic when I was Puttin my pinto in..
