Great to see you giving it everything mate. Too many people simply put there hand in there pocket and pay for the work to be done. I am running the same stock 2ltr in my rs2000, with a simple 32-36 twin choke card. The set works perfectly.
I love the old pintos and am currently putting one in a 1955 Anglia running a 5 speed box.
All the best mate and keep the pics coming

Capriscort, I'm pretty sure its going satin black with gloss black detailing over the bonnet and roof, I have it all planned in my head, we'll see how the plans look when it comes time to paint!

Top Capri mate, well done on the arch job, that takes some patience. Are you going to keep the single headlights?  oh and throw away those cold start flaps |

Messenjah, your capri looks top mate, love the paint! remember seein pics of it on other forums retrogrande, cheers mate arches probably been the hardest job so far, yeah keeping single headlights, makes it seem wider and a bit angrier! With regards to the cold start flaps, its gonna be my everyday car so it needs to start when its cold!! Or are they fine without? Also, fuel consumption needs to be relatively sensible |

checked in the rad and the water was frozen solid. NOT GOOD ;D Poured some warm water into the rad and turned over and the pulley began to slip and then move fine, and then she started again ;D
