[bazzo]

Well...

How about we have a little lifting party?????

As Ian is not in a position to do his own, I would like offer my workshop facilities and my labour to do it for him, if anyone else on the forum is willing to give up some time and knowhow to guide us and give a helping hand?

[RodLeach]

[stormforce]

Is that a mk1 capri in the pic.I would love to have one of those

[supersurf]

and lots of it,

[bazzo]

BIG THANKS TO SUPERSURF!!!!! YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Will arrange something with Rambling Angler off forum...

No you cant have it for XMAS. It's mine!!!

And yes it is a MK1 capri.. with a difference... 5.0L V8 from South Africa..
This is what it looked like in 1972.. I am restoring it for a customer.


It won every race it was in for 2 years until they banned it!!

[rambling angler]

I don't know what to say, I'm touched that people I don't know & who don't know me would do this for me, Thank you.

I'll have to grab a couple of slabs of the amber nectar for you.

This leads me to another question, where is the best place to buy a body lift kit?

Cheers
Ian

[stormforce]

Ian i would have a chat with surfenstein for a bodylift and he will supply everything needed for it.Bumper brackets,rad drop brackets if you got a 2.4

[rambling angler]

Mines a 3.0 TD, is there a difference in the body/chassis?

[bazzo]

Ian...

I have arranged a date that both myself and supersurf are free...

If you can call me to confirm that you are also free on the desired date?

Look forward to meeting you.

[rambling angler]

Tried ringing but no reply, my home number in reverse is 477455 30810

Apparently spybots etc pick up information from websites etc so I wrote my number backwards, it should read 01803 ......

[rambling angler]

OK so all I need now is the lift kit, where will I get one? & how much should I be expecting to pay for it? I did send surfenstein a message but got no reply & I need one fairly quickly & besides I thought he didn't do the lift kits any more.

Also what's the difference between a lift kit for a 2.4 & lift kit for the 3.0?

Cheers
Ian

[stormforce]

the only difference in the 2 lifts is that the 2.4 needs the rad drop brackets.
Put a post up in the sticky section in steins thrread in the main section

[rambling angler]

Cheers Richard, why don't I need a drop bracket for a 3.0? are there holes there to drop it or do you not move the rad?

I've posted on surfensteins thread so I'll just wait until he replies, I thought from previous posts that he stopped doing the lift kits, where else might I get one if he doesn't do them?

Cheers
Ian

[stormforce]

On the 3.0l's you won't need the radiator drop brackets as the rad cap is on the rad it's self.
On the 2.4's the rad cap is on the thermostat housing so you would need to lower the rad to be below the filler cap on the thermostat housing.
All you need to do on the 3.0l is remove the lower half of the fan shroud to preven the fan catching it

[rambling angler]

Thanks again Richard, I'm going to have to start taking notes for when mine gets done.
