thought id show you the progress of my 12a rotary powered capri ,
started by stumbling across a rotary and box for sale on here so bit the bullet and travelled up to shrewsbury and collected the bits and pieces.
next morning decided to get stuck in .
started with this.
man handled it out and was left with this
dropped out the box and was chuffed that it was very similar in size to the rx box
weld a plate to this and drill it out and we were good to go

like a glove
after rotating and drilling new holes the sump cleared the crossmember
nikki carb rebuilt and modded for mechanical secondries .
fuel pump and fuel lines connected and engine subframe made.
went to my local hydraulics shop to get some uber long oil cooler hoses made for a bit of J influence
its all together and wired up just waiting for my battery to charge and shes ready for a test fire
more updates next week !

in a Capri - they must be a fair bit heavier than the First Gen Rex. Still, that's all part of the fun!
