Keith first brought his Capri to us nearly 15 years ago for a mini tub, leaf spring relocation, chassis connectors from front to rear and a custom-built 9-inch diff to suit the 15x9 rear wheels. At the time, we also test fitted a Windsor engine and modified the transmission tunnel to accommodate the c 10 transmission.
After undergoing a full restoration, the Capri recently returned to us to complete the build and bring the vision to life.
The latest work included:
• Brand new stainless steel fuel and brake lines
• Powder-coated front crossmember and suspension arms
• Custom-built 9-inch diff featuring 3.7 gears housed in a cast steel Strange centre section
• In-house fabricated CalTracs system designed specifically for the Capri
• Fuel cell installation while retaining the factory fuel filler location
• Custom-fabricated extractors to suit the 347 Windsor conversion An in house 347 hydraulic roller Windsor was built making 501hp to power the little Capri
• Full custom 3-inch stainless steel exhaust system built in house
• IC-7 digital dash seamlessly integrated into the factory cluster
• Complete vehicle rewire from front to rear by Race Wires Auto Electrics
• Custom bracket and hose setup for the under-guard mounted water pump
The Capri was completed to engineering requirements and successfully received Victorian engineering approval, making it a tough, street-driven package that retains its classic appearance while incorporating modern performance and reliability.
