Hi hotboost - the hubs/rotors are from UPC in Bayswater Melbourne - @$500 the set. The calipers were $840 each ($1680 / pair) + $220 for a set of pads. Then u have to make a mount for the calipers - but that is very simple given that they r radial mounts. (I was going to use wilwoods but apparently vicroads wont allow them to get thru engineering - issues with the way the brake line fixes to the caliper) I did it this way b/c i want it to be up to engineering, look good and give the car good stopping power. It was expensive but i really want a nice capri in the end. The present paintwork was just to get it roadworthy etc, now im going to demolish it! Wheels, brakes, suspension 1st, then the engine, then the body work.

I thought this project had nearly finished. How wrong can you be? If I hadnt left small fords and went over to motorbikes for 30 years I imagine this is about what I would be doing - modifying the capri for better performance. Great work Stefan.

Thats about all of the sheet metal works i had done. The only rust in the car - in the rear wheel wells - all gone now with the extensions.

This is really taking shape. Going to be a very exciting and unique capri.[^]

thank u. here r a few more pics of the fussy sheet metal stuff. This pic is of the passengers rear wheel arch - trim to existing sheet. I had done the wheel archs by fibreglassing from the new 1/4 panels to existing wheel well. But i couldnt get the result i was after. So re-did everything in steel.

This shows how we've altered the inner guard to accept the new X pack front. We sliced the lower 1/2 of the original apron off and grafted the new x pack bib spoiler on

This pic shows the new lower 1/2 of the apron from inside the engne bay. U can see 2 of the 3 welds where we've grafted the new section to the old. Also u can see another panel we installed to tie the new apron back to the existing front sub frame
