"Rules stated that the car must be stock above the wheel arches..." HAHAHA awesome!

Nice read and great pics :thumbup: Brings me back to my Capri days

I think this should be FAO, Mark Derby, Jaffa or Bob. The Zed world needs some of these

 

Big crazy grilled arch radiators. That car just makes me smile till my face hurts.

Right Gary, capri picture posting time, there has been one of these before I know but lets do it again...

That is one tidy 2.8i there tom

Well, the car was solid but! It started with a fuel injector, then 2 wheel bearings, a propshaft then the first engine lost a lot of compression so I put in the TT engine from a rusty TT. That had the turbo fail very quickly. Full rebuild of the turbo, and the clutch failed. Then the gearbox, then it did a piston ring with one ma-hoo-sive knock/pink/det and put oil in the head and water into the sump. Then I got rid of it through Capri gear. There were other things too. It wanted for nothing and was loved as my zed is now... the ungrateful little *******.

 

The TT engine at 230 bhp went like absolute hell!

Pics of my Capri's are pre digital so they are kept on photo paper and not on my photobucket lol but my first ever car was a 1977 MK2 1.6GL Venetian Red with black vinyl roof Capri then after a few other Fords I got a 1987 black 2.8i special with a factory fitted X Pack body kit it was a real head turner.

I would be happy to see a likeness done in crayon of that X-pack Capri :bow:

cool zakspeed capris always had a soft spot for them ive a Tamiya radio controlled car of the zakspeed shelf queen of course never used it lol

I will see if I can get a picture up tomorrow :yes:

I liked the mk3 zackspeed but I loved the mk1 rs3100 based race cars.

Here are some pics of my Xpack 2.8i Special not good quality and you will see two different regs as it came from Kent England and after a year I put an N,I. reg on it.

I was in the Capri Club International at the time and the car was on show at the N.A.C Birmingham for two years running. The X pack kit included front spoiler, rear spoiler, side skirts and wheel arch extensions

 

And one more.

 

Beautiful, I miss my capri, the fun was the same but the speeds were lower. Is that an x pack tiger on the parcel shelf :-)

 

Thanks for sharing Gary :-), I may yet own another 2.8i

holy shit gaz lol, i had 1.6 l mk2 then i had 3.0s v6 yum yum then i had 2.0 sport i was still am ford manic/escorts mK1 x2. then Mk4 esacort turbo then convertiblesx3 at the door same time had a collection. then went to the mondeo st200. and my urge was always to have the 300tt which biggest competitor was the supra at the same time, many friends had the the silvia i went the other way now im back down the expensive road lol.then i went astray lol.

That was the then girlfrields tiger lol and yes I would love another Capri but they are expensive now for a good one. I would love a 280 Brooklands or a Tickford.
