Think with the airjacks it would be a track car. Have you checked the vin out to see who made the motorsport shell and it's life before rallying? Never seen vents in the inner arches never the bulkhead in the engine bay.
@grizzlywears 9 күн бұрын
Not sure about the road cars but I've seen 909 and motorsport shells with the same vents pressed into the inner wings, I did think someone had just taken a can opener to them at first, I haven't done many checks on the VIN/registration number yet with regards to racing history, I think this car has had a few different lives

@grizzlywears 13 күн бұрын
I have a pair of the WRC wings to go on, I know what I want at the end but just tackling things one at a time at the moment, its quite dependent upon how the DVLA respond because I want to retain the cars original plate and maybe get an FMC plate longer term. Glad you're enjoying it, lots more to come !
@andyday1981 14 күн бұрын
Nooooooo you can’t put a mk6 dash in. Tidy the mk5 one up and flock it. I’ve had my mk1 project for 15 years now and it’s still a long way off being finished. Keep at the cossie and keep us updated on any progress no matter how slow.
@grizzlywears 14 күн бұрын
You're right, this car is screaming out for a flocked dash crammed with gauges ! If you're building these cars properly they take a lot of time but hopefully will turn out well, good luck with the mk1 👍

Definitely air jack towers, plus the remains of Group A chassis mounted engine and rear beam mounts. Looking like it was a circuit racer at some point. The cage is a very odd design. My suspicion would be it was built abroad.
@grizzlywears 14 күн бұрын
Cheers, Yeah it seems to be a mismatch of different spec builds. I'm sure it will all make sense if someone knows what it is, seems like less than Group A but more than Group N, part of the front of the cage has been removed so I'm wondering with those chassis-engine mounts whether it was a Group A and for some reason reverted to Group N and the Group A/WRC top mounts removed

I love the video it's great to see the old XR . That ones got great history , sentimental appeal . I personally wouldn't put up with worn out performance. I'd definitely be tinkering with her . can I recommend whipping the engine out for reconditioning. can tell from here she's not punching. Bare minimum it would need honing out new rings , new camshaft and lifters (can't change one without the other) get the carburettor rebuilt , you can buy kits from webcon or a nice shiny replacement. Trust me the difference will be night and day- It will go like a scalded cat then 👍🏻
@grizzlywears 16 күн бұрын
Cheers, new cams & lifters are on the cards with new fuel pump, exhaust and probably engine mounts. bodywork will be tidied up and then maybe a bottom end refresh. A new set of bushes are well overdue, If it wasn't obvious they're worn out at 30mph, it definitely is at 60 🤔

The difference is you can still buy a real V8 mustang, Ford haven't replaced it. The Capri has been out of production since 1986 and they just made another generic ugly electric SUV and call it a Capri.
