restored by himself, including full leather recaros, refurbed wheels and refurbed everything else. i asked the guy if it still had the original the 1.3 crossflow engine, he said it did, but.........

 

he opened the bonnet and i was greeted by this.....

3.0 V6 capri engine :drool: engine had been stripped down and re-built, and he said he was " waiting for the supercharger to come back"!!!

 

was nice to see one that didnt resemble a teabag!

a 3.0 Capri on tadays road wouldnt be very quick at all. The Escort weighs a fair bit less, but dont assume this would blow ya socks off!

 

 

I know there not that fast, just its alot for an escort, wouldnt be very nice in the wet lol

Wtf!!!!!!!would be fookin awsomwe in the wet i think you would find.( wimp )pmsl :pancake: a friend of mine used to run a 3.5ltr supercharged rover v8 powered one ab fab in the dry let alone in the wet. I f i was him i would be paintin that engine bay before it turns to rott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lovley motor though.
