    Default 64 Ford Consul Capri

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to start a build thread for my 64 Capri. It's got a 4AGE with a 45 DCOE adapted to a fwd manifold (looks weird but suprisingly it goes well) and a 5 speed gearbox. I'm in the process of repairing and repainting it at the moment. When this is going on I'd like to source some parts to tidy up the engine. So if anyone has a twin carby setup they no longer require please send me a pm or txt 0400 743 191.
    Anyway here is some pics
    Before stripping

    Rust repairs




    This is how she sits now waiting for me to get my backside into gear and finish the bonnet, bootlid, sills, front valance and engine engine bay.
    Unfortunately the bonnet was ruined by sandblasting the frame. I wanted to save some time rather than srtip it. I've tried to repair it but I really need to take the skin off and run it through a wheeling machine to iron out the stretched areas. Luckily I have a spare bonnet which I will now use. And no it wont be going to the blasters.

    Very cool!

    Dehney was selling a complete twin Weber set-up with manifold to suit Smallport. Not sure if he still has it?

    Where abouts are you located?

    That is pretty cool. Why did you choose to go for a Toyota Engine?

    So I have managed to get a bit of paint on the capri. Still have to do all the panels that lift off but here it is so far. A bit of overspray can be seen but I put enough coats on to rub it flat and buff it up.






    The engine is back in and requires tidying up and detailing. I'm also chasing up a few parts as my water outlet and thermostat housing had corroded whilst the car was stored for the past decade. I have a clearance issue with the back Mikuni coming really close to the master cylinders. I'll have to see once the gearbox is fitted if I am required to notch the carby or fabricate an under dash master cylinder pedal system
