Wiggys Capri's

I will keep them coming. Seems attaching pics has gotten easier somehow (or I'm grey now not blonde)

A pic of my newest Capri. Vinyl roof Diamond white Auto V6. Matching numbers car stored for a very long time but originally from Heaths motors Geelong. Got her home and within 15 mins of trying she started and started first go. It's the brown one on the right not the the white one. Plan for this one is to fix the dents take some minimal rust, spray it and drive it. Looking to put a manual in it but keep the auto to turn it back if required. Keith

got any l/h quater panels you might have spare

Not knowing where and how to post in the right sections I will post here.
Question about front stone tray/valance/front bottom sections of Capri I am looking expressed steel panels they have it as font valance but it's $$£683 plus delivery. They also list a budget valance at only 186 pounds which sounds attractive but there is no pic. I have sent emails waiting for reply. Can or does anyone know the differences. ?

I picked up a roof I bought that Stefan(spud) kindly took to his house from Vic and stored for me last week. It was great to meet him but time was against both of us. Here it is on top of were it will go. Same color as the car so was meant to be. Enjoy

So I finally spent the weekend on the Perana and she drives again. For me a novice with interaccy on different setups and absolutely no info as Whools would understand on what stock should be( very protected info) it's a 302 in a Capri done over and over again but it's a Perana so it has to be made for me with original or new same stock to be right. My problem has been cooling and clutch problems. I've driven it maybe 20
times and there has always been issues. Last time I drove it with family in tow the clamp that keeps the brake and clutch pedal in the massive pin fell off which meant I lost all clutch pedal and close to no
Brakes which took two hours on the side of the road to fix near wisemans ferry and scared the living shxxt out of me. I have sort
Of fixed the clutch probs with a master cylinder push rod for a clutch from a falcon and a cheap clutch master cylinder but bleeding to get it right saw brake fluid after I tried to remove the new one go all over the fire wall which if any one remembers my Perana ruined the White Capris bonnet leaking it's clutch fluid over two year agos xmas break. So really I hate hydraulic clutches but can't do without it. Got it up and running to find the thermostat cover bolt
Is threaded and won't screw up. ****
It's a beautiful car and seems to be saying look at me but don't drive me I am too rare. My car was 20 to 40 mins north of Hornsby but at my house so can't say it's the Perana seen but would like to compare mine with someone else's one day.

And you had the Cortina Perana Mk2 and 3 or mk1 as well with a V6 Essex fitted. And a few of these are here in Oz. African muscle cars forum and the Rs owners forum are a treat to read. I do remember something regarding the Escort with I think the first Pinto from Basil Green Perana motors. South Africa is stunning for cars with V8 4wd Cortinas made from factory to the mighty Xy,Xw Gt's as the same car from Oz but sold as Fairmonts. Keith
