3.0s ....wanted

So when we finish the 2.8 rebuild I'm thinking about a 3.0S as a next project.

If in the future you may sell your unfinished project or have one tucked away doing nothing that needs work PM me and let me know....

May be peeing in the wind but if you don't ask etc.... Cheers

Re: B100CNH... The journey begins..

Thanks for the kind comments guys, 8 months have flown by but it's a great experience rebuilding from scratch. So many decisions to make and information to be resurched let alone the price of parts these days so it's worth hunting and waiting to get what you need at a reasonable price. As you mentio...

Re: Raging

You would, but it's all the other drivers in normal cars who don't! If you mean "you would" because I own one then your correct but cars in general have become longer,wider and taller. My Capri is often dewarfed by today's "normal" cars... Either way we are both gutted for the g...

Re: B100CNH... The journey begins..

If you are going that far with a restoration, it has to be as close to 100% as possible :) Nothing worse than not being happy and wishing you had done more.
