Shed find..........( it wasn't a barn......)

1973 3.0 GXL in a pretty good shape. Engine & tranny in a good condition and minor welding work required. Factory sliding sunroof, folding rear windows, narrow Capri axle and so on.

This might be my new V8 project.........so I allready ordered a set of bubble arches for the mk1 Capri to get some wide rubber fitted.
Have no clue how this will look cause I have never saw a Capri fitted with those arches but I do like it on the Escorts.

This time I was glad to have my own trailer......cause the brakes where realy stuck on this one after all those years.

Looks nice JP.
Bubble arch Capris look good eh, Craptical Classics had some pics ages back of race cars of the era. Gurt big wide wheels and all. Fabulous.

Recieved the arches yesterday from Smith and Deakin so I did a quick fitment using ducktape....

A quick measuremend gave me almost 4" extension at the front and a 3 1/2 "at the back.

Eeeehh no I am not going to put them on this rare green beast.
