Engine bay is clearly in need of some TLC

[pbar]

It doesn't look that bad in there to be honest. Just remove that funnel and you'll be right. Nice car.

I think what i'm going to do is , i know a guy that has cleaned my engine before and he's really good at it , the i will re paint the rocker covers and air filter box

[pbar]

Will he be steam cleaning it?

[3 Litre Power]

Yes he told me he first covers the whole block in de greaser and lets it sit for a while then steam cleans it.

Good picture of the interior ( notice it's a Manual not Auto ! )

All the cleaning and polishsing was worth it

[3 Litre Power]

Haha thanks mate!

[whooligan]

Nice one.

I have a Mk 3 I'm restoring, but in my search for engine parts I've come across a MK 2 Ghia in need of restoration also.....I'm tempted to buy it and have the Quadrella...Mk 1 V6 GT, Mk 1 Perana replica, Mk 3 3.0s replica and possible Mk2????

Love the colour as well.

Nice Is it a 2.0 or 3.0 Ghia? if it's a 3.0 Ghia Mk2 it can be worth easily over £10.000 , mine is a rare one It's a 3.0 Ghia Manual which was only available on 1974 aand 75 model years , i have talked to different Capri " experts" and they say mine might be worth between £ 12.000 or even £ 15.000!

Went to a very cool meet yesterday , free food , drinks and music right by the seaside!! , i love living in Mallorca

Had so wash the car quick before going there:



Ignition system trouble finally sorted Bosch distributor back in the engine, brand new cap rotor points and condenser :



Also saw this beautiful White TVR 3000M race car with a stunning 240 bhp 3.0 / 3.1 Essex in it that sounded incredible made me feel so envyous

Ghia.

3.0 Ghia most expensive model back in the day ! the Ghia interior and badges give the car a really classy look that you don't get in other Capris other than the Executive or the GXL



Another picture of the rear end :

How cool is this, your car is now featured on the Capri Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Capri Right hand side just below the MK11 specification box

All the best
