Nice, I like it when these cars are bought back to life.
Those Mk1 Capris are not very common anymore, is it an early Mk1 or the facelift version?

There were a number of engine options for them, but NZ mostly got the Kent L4, Essex V4/V6 engines and Pinto OHC 4cyl, Europe got the Taunus & Cologne engines (the Cologne engine was the German V6) USA also got the Cologne engine and it was also fitted to MkIV Cortinas.

The Essex V6 was the base for the Cosworth 3.4l GAA V6 engine that was 450hp 300 ftlbs and 9000rpm

South Africa built the MKI Capri with a 302Windsor V8 and called it the Capri Perana

Somewhere I still have some bits for a Capri, and a MkIV Zephyr/Zodiac.
