Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I am currently restoring a XL capri and modifying a 69 capri gt, with a 302 windsor. Have had  a few problems along the way,but i won't give up. The gt so far is as follows. Back to bare metal on a rotisserie. Rust and dints fixed, and in undercoat. Castlemain rod shop chassey kit. Front holden brakes. High performance 302 windsor. 11" clutch. 4sp top loader. 9" LSD with disc brakes,and 3 to 1 ratio.Mc Donald Brothers racing 4 link with QA1 coilovers. Electric power steering. Will be painted in hot orange, Just like my old v6 back in 1970, so yes i'm an old scrubber from whey back. Now retired and cant wait to get up in the morning and out in the shed, on with my music and in to it. Life dosent get any better.

    Welcome to the forum Mackar8. It is always good to see more projects. You might even convince me that a 302 is the way to go. I am particularly interested in the EPAS. (electric power assisted steering.)
    Cheers,...ron.
