Still 10x the car as my Mk1 Capri, tho. :P

Which motor mnem ?

The little Cologne V4; what were they, a 1500...? 1300...? Ghahhh.  :palm:   Can you believe I scratch-built headers for that fuxxoring little automotive backbirth? I thought it'd be just like my Cologne-V6 Spitfire project, only more room to work. Well that part was true... every time I'd swing a wrench, my elbow would go through some new rust spot.  |O

Oh that V4 dog, yep  :--
It was a 2/3rds version of the 3l V6 which many also thought were a puss bucket but they went good with the std twin throat Webber and the 3l Capri is still a sought after model as they were quite a rocket ship in their day.

Pop had a Mk4 Zepher with the 3l innit and probably the first set of wheels I did the ton in way the fuck back in the 70’s.  :o

Yeah; guy who bought it when I got sick of it wanted the motor and trans for some little French shoebox that looked like a Opel Manta. Cologne V6 was a fucking bullet-proof mule of a motor though; on the Spitfire I machined ~40mm of the divider in the stock intake out and made a plate to fit the Ford 500 2bbl... little bastard ran like hell! Would do wheelstands in 1st & 2nd, no lie!  :-DD

Good to know - thanks!  Fortunately, the side panel on mine is the one part of the enclosure that seems to be in good shape and looks only to need a little bit of cleaning to get the crud out of the recesses and corners.  Appreciate the warning regarding its delicacy; I'll make sure not to use anything too aggressive and not to scrub the printed areas:


I have a paper manual ordered from our favorite site, and have also downloaded one of the scanned ones from online.  If the need to pick your brain arises I will be in touch!

Yours have the Hex rod dizzy and oil pump drive ?

xrunner:
That's a good picture, I might be able to use that. I'm thinking of some clear laser adhesive paper I think I had for another project. Should be able to run it through Gimp magic tools and come up with something useful. I'll post something if I succeed.
