[@solowkaver3592]

Kate is looking amazing. Well done gentlemen!

[@ianrussell2816]

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Hey buddy, Bless you and Bless your mum too. I'm really close to my mum too, and have been looking after her more and more recently. It can be rough at times, but she looked after me for years -still does- and I feel good to be able to help her now. Anyway, glad to receive your comment and encouragement buddy! We're getting there!!

[@martincunnington2154]

Kate is looking so good you've Definitely brought her back to life can't wait to hear here run

[@tonychamberlain8057]

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years lads ,I’ve watched you all from the start and enjoyed it ,a live stream on starting would be great on a Saturday with a cup of coffee, how will we know when it’s going to be? All the best lads 😊

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you Tony :) I'll give notice of any livestream to come , here via youtube, so you will know when it is due :)

[@martincraig-je4vo]

Mano gee yer self a pat oan the back putting the engine in on your own, that looked hard work. Great to see the progress on Kate 👀👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 👍

[@stephenwest9757]

Using that crimp as a ferrule is far better than a bit of insulating tape which would probably fall off after a short time.

[@Mercmad]

Three years! time has flown .

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Damn straight and we're still at it 💪👍

[@AndyThom]

at 21 mins I said you couldnt put that engine and gearbox in on your own, how wrong was I, well played manno, its all coming together now and I would love to hear kate starting up live

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks buddy! Have faith in me ;-)

[@philtucker1224]

I must compliment you (again) for the standards you are maintaining during re assembly. Just bloody perfect mate. She’s going to be an absolute beauty! 😎

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you Phil 😊

[@bigfist255]

Impressive getting engine in alone ,your like me won't wait for help 😂

[@artnelson3402]

Man, she sure is looking good. Congrats on getting the engine in, that's a major milestone.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 👍

[@TK-Will.]

OMG I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since you started this build

[@grahamhider3754]

I like Tony’s way . Looking good ❤🔧🚗

[@frederick777]

You did well fitting that engine on your own

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you, it was a bit embarrassing watching the replay, but I got it in 😊👍🛠💪

[@wessmith3161]

Looking good. Mr Tony's crimp on the throttle cable is the way to go.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Yes indeed, he on point, again! 😊

[@TC-qd1zw]

Can’t beat an old first motion shaft.

[@GP-pw5wb]

I have seen many methods of clutch centre plate alignment in my time, your method is a first. Like your thinking outside of the box to get the job done

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you 😊

[@colinblick4903]

It’s lookin sweet should use old blanket when lowering mill in😉 Quality bit of work lads😎👌🏼💪🏼

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Damn I had one only a few feet away and never used it 🙈

[@timmoore3886]

Can't wait to see the engine startup. Say hi to Mr Tony and Gav.

[@DPcar-mania-65]

Hey Manno, Great job getting the engine in. Kate looking fantastic. I've been watching from the start, when you first received Kate & you had to unseize the engine. You guys have really come on. 👍

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks David, glad you enjoying seeing Kate rebuild herself 😊

[@bobhope190]

Look forward to the start up 👍👍👍

[@stuhollyhead4294]

Anxiety levels was through the roof when u was fitting that engine, but fair play u got it in beautifully ❤ great watch Manny cheers 🍻

[@Mercmad]

Next time get one of those cheap engine tilters so you scan get the engine to 45 degrees. Lower it in and use a trolly jack under the trans so it can roll back easily

[@vauny24]

Cant wait to see pinto fire up gonna sound epic with them carbs 😄

[@AmalgamationofMan]

Coming along nicely dudes

[@eastcoastuk9705]

Another big progress update vid ,great mano & the rusty team keep pushing kate soon be on the road

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 👍

[@neilrecords29]

Come a long way with this now, nice to see it all coming back together! Well done all involved excellent job. 👍😊

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 👍

[@life_on_cars]

Wow 3 years since I watched you on the driveway videos

[@philtucker1224]

The finish you get on some of those old parts after blasting and then painting is absolutely lovely.

[@matthewpayne42]

A will it start live stream,yes please. Keep up the great work dudes. Kate is looking awesome.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks buddy, will announce if/when livestrem will be on. I'll give notice so you chaps can tune in if poss 😊👍

[@TheSawyer10702]

Thats some motivation, putting ngine in by yourself. Thats what ive done in past! Hats of to ya mate. Great job. Tony has always got great ideas, let him do his thing, ive learned two things from him so far, you guys are awsome!

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 👍

[@mrcountit]

Nice tools. I could live there

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Lol! Thanks

[@pauljeffries]

Great progress mano, it's all coming together now.

[@escortmexico6909]

Nice one Mano ! Kates coming along mate

[@rockatansky1305]

Looks a hell of a lot neater the way Tony did it rather than having a bunch of throttle cable hanging around.., that was a no-no !

[@KerbsideClassics]

love the pre face lift capri,s best shape imo, my dad bought one new in 1970 for £1017 owned it for 42 years good value, great video

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks for sharing

[@worldofrandometry6912]

Great progress. Well done.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks 😊

[@rasher1000]

Thanks for the update manno, gav & Mr tony, Kate is looking fine, the more parts she gets put back the better she looks, not long to start up Saturday, fingers crossed... 👍👏

[@Kevmac332]

Fantastic progress dude..... definitely up for a live Well done 👏

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks a ton!

[@AliMackMechanical]

Av got the same tool for lining up the clutch it is frustrating Mano dude always had faith in you never left your side. I have used a half inch extension bar wrapped with masking tape to line a clutch up 😂. Or the spigot of an old gearbox. There is many ways to skin a cat not literally of course 😂. Nice to see big Red helping Am happy for you Mano buddy putting an Engine in on your own is not an easy job. Good on Tony for helping out loving the box of allen keys reminds me of my grandads box he had from back in the 90s. Tony is right with the idea am sure you can buy ends though. Still it will stop it fraying all the way down. The carbs look sweet you come a long way dudes. ✌🏼👏👍🤙🎸 Yes to live stream

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you Ali 😊

[@lesbaty8919]

Loving the progress dudes

[@austinmatthews347]

30 years ago my mate had the input shaft frim a broken cortina gearbox which used to align my new clutch its the best way

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Sounds perfect! 👍

[@Kevmac332]

Morning dude

[@dreammaker730]

Nearly there dude 😀

[@TheMaccatakker69]

Watched Kate from the start, coming together nicely now so all credit to you. Tone is a legend although can't understand a word he says lol ! We were all proved wrong with his cable tie solution, looks OK. Live yes, I'd be down to watch that, Cheers Mac. (UK)

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Lol!! Thanks bud 😊

[@oaktree3278]

Well what can i say Manno, bloody great bit of progress and a real corner turned as well. You and the guys have all worked so hard over the last 3 years or so. Been great to see her evolve. Nice one and look foward to the live stream sometime 👍😊

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks Andrew :)

[@MOTORSPORT401]

Ive watched your channel from the start and this is just getting better and better , this is going to be an awesome Capri when finished , the mechanical mods are superb , I can't wait to see you do your first test drive , respect to you guys 👍👍

[@matthewwhite7663]

very well done, been watching you guys from the day you first open kate's bonnet to unseize the engine.

[@russelblackwell6041]

for the throttle cable small round fishing sinker soldered on the end

[@klownkopyrite44]

Looking good 👍👍

[@arthurspandley4576]

Hello kates looking great 👍

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you! 😊

[@corvair140]

Did you put dowels on the flywheel? The clutch cover locates on to them. I would not run a clutch relying on just the bolts to hold it. Great progress though. Kate is turning back in to a car now.

[@stevebates5973]

next time, jack the back end as far up as you can, with the front of the car just high enough to slide the hoist under...

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@Classiccarbscouk]

As it happens, the rear was jacked up high, but it was unintentional, so I guess that helped 👍

[@ianmitchell4231]

Speaking of the fuse box mano those old fuse boxs were always prone to corrosion due to the fitment location on some older fords so it might be worth getting a more up to date type fuse box using more up to date style fuses or relocate it (or both ? )....just a thought mate.

[@countmurcielago9802]

Coming along well I wish you had put wiring harness in first before engine and heater box it’s easer with engine out 😊

[@Hazzy238]

Don't know if u marked the position of the tail shaft halfs before splitting them. They should go back in the original positions. Maybe the splines are made so u can't make a mistake?

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Not sure what the tail shaft halfs are, but if I have them , I hope I did them right 😂

[@davidrix804]

Manny listen and learn from your mentor friend and not criticize him,that’s why you asked him for his help🤟🤟🤟😉😉😉😉

[@colinblick4903]

Question : can’t you run your fuel line off the carb toward the front…. Where you can fit your regulator…… rather than running your line backward an forward to connect where you were saying. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Yes! We spoke about this after watching the vid.. I'll see about swapping the fuel hose unions around and fit the regulator towards rhe front near the rad. Thanks 👍🙌

[@peteramberley9952]

Well done manno 3 years wow.what will you do with Kate when finished ? ( free give away 😅😅😅)what will be insurance value when finished ?

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks Peter, free giveaway sounds interesting but we'll see what thr future brings 😉 Insurance probs about £10k I guess?

[@peteramberley9952]

@Classiccarbscouk sounds too cheap with decent respray and immaculate interior I bet your nearer 20k

[@Classiccarbscouk]

​@peteramberley9952 well, since I've never sprayed a car or got any decent interior, shall we meet in the middle? 😂

[@philtucker1224]

She’s looking very nice. How heavy do you think that clutch pedal is going to be?

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks! It feels like it's got a load behind it, but it also feels smooth and strong at the same time

[@philtucker1224]

@@Classiccarbscouk That’s ok then, hopefully you will probably plan to avoid most traffic jams in Kate anyway so it shouldn’t be too much of an aggravation hopefully..

[@yamyamdashcam1232]

soon be ripping er round the streets , carefully though ay :)

[@jonsmith3042]

Kate looking like a fine young lady. But talking about our sweet tooth, Banana on toast with butter and cinnamon on top is the best Mmmmm

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Lol!! I'm glad I'm not alone with the cinnamon addition 😁🫡

[@RodChown-th2vc]

The Ford factory lifted the Engine from underneath the car to install it.

[@cossied01]

watched the whole video, I assume in real life you are painter and decorators ?

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Sheep shearers 👌

[@bigfist255]

Have you got wipper linkage and heater box ready to fit loom etc ?

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Yep, I have the heater box and wiper linkage at hand, but they'll need restoring first, which I'll be getting on with in the next week or so. I don't have a new wiring loom, just the old one, which is going to need a good few hrs work to repair, modify and layout.

[@bigfist255]

@@Classiccarbscouk I still remember doing one of those heater boxes on my mk 1 25 years ago still got the long extension I bought to do it ,will be easier for you with no interior, I had a mare lol 🙃

[@SilverTrill]

Great progress 👌🏾 where can i find this music from ?

[@vestanpance]

Hi - the track is Amorphous - The Prize. Available nowhere. Hope you enjoyed! 😉

[@SilverTrill]

@@vestanpance did you remix this? Shazam coming up with لحن الوفاء dj live 🤔

[@vestanpance]

@@SilverTrill Yeah it's my track. That other track you mention has the same samples I have used. But I've not heard this before. Well spotted! That track has obviously sourced these samples from the same place as me.

[@SilverTrill]

[@frederick777]

What colour are you going to paint Kate..

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Good question! I don't know

[@philtucker1224]

(I thought the colour inside the engine bay was the colour) either way you need it to be.

[@thenine3171]

Women I love them but they can be so complicated sometimes can't they

Hi manny dear friend,please let me know when you know how to fit a clutch and maybe I will bring my car for you to fit one,you have a nice big garage great tools but friends to fit things,but saying that,your motivation impresses me and your learning as you go along,weldone manny👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉😉😉😉😉😉🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
