Go for it.
My dad also had one of these years ago when he was a school teacher.
Said it used to really go.

Made in the days when car bodies were made of thick enough steel to withstand the rust worm for quite a while...
Good luck with that.

but id quite like some v6 ford mechanicals in there too... T'was the original plan for mine, but it went missing before I could pick it up (long story :  . At the time BnDs' works had broken a TVR with a Swaymar 3.1 in it. I figured it would be quite entertaining with that in it ;D Bruisercapri bought the lump before I managed to get my mits on the 'E tho. Pity I missed the times when you were trying to give it away, as that shell looks a helluva lot better than mine did when I started prodding it! |

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place  |

Good luck with it. My 100E never rotted as much as the later cars and a lot more unbolted and wasn't structural so it shouldn't be too hard to fix  |

If you seriously want it blast cleaned I can recommend someone who is excellent and reasonable.
Keep away from the V6 tho (if Capri) as its way too heavy and not that powerful. A modern Vectra V6 would be a good choice though.
The engine bays are tiny on these things though, so you may be better off going for a modern 4 pot instead.

I'll be watching the progress on this one as ive just captured an 100E myself and will be starting a thread shortly (as soon as ive finished jobs in the house that is lol ) I'm still undecided what power to use ,i fancy the idea of 2.0 zetec on bike carbs but i will probably think about that at a later date ,its already had steering rack conversion and pinto lump with 5 speed and i want to see how i can keep costs to a minimum .....good luck!

Does that engine run and is it going back in the car? It hasnt run in a good few years but certainly did when it came out, Its been dry stored and turned regularly and will be going back in (hopefully with a full complement of aquaplane tuning goodies...) |
