the car had sat stationary since i replaced the front brakes as the master cylinder couldn't cope with the new brakes,
fitted a land rover master cylinder last weekend, there brillaint now
also replace the fuel lines as they were in a poor condition

Take one crashed 24v cosworth capri and whack it all into your capri.
So far just got the 2.8 rack and front coil overs off the red one in mine, still need to do rear LSD with disc brake cables etc and fuel tank and lines, the engine and box then I've got to wire it.
