NIKH25 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That is a shiny sump, a quick rub down and a lick of paint will sort that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Wow what a BEAST! Beautiful looking motor and I love the colour! Even my Dad's jaw dropped I'm no expert on these cars but my oleman is. He had loads of Capri's, Cortina's, Escorts and Granada's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Got a new starter motor today yepee! Also asked about a black sump but somehow they want £40 more for a black one so guess i have to have chrome lol Asked about a electronic choke, the packaging said not suitable for the thunder series carb which is what i got but hes gonna call edelbrock tomorrow for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
