Re: FORD CAPRI 3.0S RESTORATION
Just caught up with your progress Paul and I have to say it looks sh*t, you must be disappointed. I am a charitable sole so if you want I will take it off your hands so you can start again with something else. 👍 🤣🤣🤣 Looks excellent.. Have you got rid of the Cortina Lotis or started a collection?

Build records
Do Ford keep build records of our cars? I sometimes use to find build spec sheets on the rear seats etc. I just wondered whether anybody had contacted Ford and asked?
Also how accurate are build plates and sheets - how far did Ford keep to the specs excluding dealer fit or intervention?
Cheers
Mark

I know it's not a Capri but it is related.
One thing I love about old cars is the story behind them. Whether it's a 1.3L bought by Mr Parker down the road or this ex Henry Ford Mustang, they all have importance.

Enjoy.

Thanks mate. Yes I know the one you mean. I know it was for sale at one time. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 3:31 pm Hi Mark,
Your car looks amazing!
I much prefer your car to the only other Janspeed 3.0 I've ever seen (you probably know the one).

Rear Seat belt advive
Hi all, My car a MK3 'S' has no rear belts. I want to retro fit them so I bought the shelf supports with the cut outs. I realise I am going to have to cut a hole in the boot plastics. Has anybody any experience in buying belts? I have seen these on ebay. Is there anything else that I need? https://w...

Re: A few questions for the floor.
Also my 3 litre has a none LSD axle. I believe that somebody does a LSD conversion for these, is this correct? Hi Mark, I'll say from the start that I know nothing about what's involved in an LSD upgrade, but Burton sell Quaife LSD diff internals for the Atlas. I imagine any axle specialist should ...

3.0S JANSPEED TURBO
Well after 12 years of ownership and a lot of restoration issues I have finally been able to get my Capri on the road this year and attend a couple of shows. It's nice to be out and about but due to being really busy I have not been able to get out as much as I would have liked. I used to go to the ...

I know there is always talk on here of the ultra rare FORD CAPRI 2.8 S LASER but how many other rare Ford's are there. How about the FORD ORION RS TURBO?
