> Project : In the begining...

So let me tell you abit about me, i am a 20 something year old car nut from Durban. I have finally decided to go head first and get a project car. Growing up i remember the Ford Capri as being the number 1 car for tuning and modding in the 80's, when car modding was still small in sunny Durbs.

So in April 2009 after much consideration i narrowed my choices for a project car down to a Ford Escort RS2000 or a Ford Capri V6, the RS2000 is almost impossible to find. So i went with the Capri, i found the below car thru a family friend whose friend was selling it as an abandoned project.

The car is a 1972 Ford Capri 3000GT XL spec, it still had the original drivetrain, but needed alot of work, it also came with the highly sought after Ensure 8J 13inch rims. For R18K, the car was running and licenced (barely). There was visible rust in many places, and half baked body repairs. The car also had a newly done interior and the engine was worked, but needed a tune up.

I finally settled on the car and the saterday i was supposed to pick it up the timing was off, so we had to take it home the sunday. Needless to say sunday my dad drove it home, only to find we had 1 wheel braking and we also got flagged down by a guy who wanted to buy it.

Anyway enough with the intro i will soon post up my plans for the car.....
