Capri 2.8i resurrection, part 1

This car has been off the road since 2001, it seems about time it was given a new lease of life

[@Roverturbo]

From factory, the fuel pump should only run on engine cranking and running. Safety device.

Hello pal , lovely 2.8 capri , only watched a couple of minutes I’ll watch later when I can sit down and relax and enjoy :D Hope more videos be coming soon And I see a post of this on Facebook other day u asking if anyone knows anything about the car :) I also own a 2.8 turbo I’ve just got been sitting over 30 years that’s on my channel with other projects aswell 😂😂😂😂

[@mec-tec]

Awesome ! Nice one mate ! Theres nothing better than hearing an engine coming back to life ! I have a black 86 special too on my channel MEC-TEC along with others if you fancy a look 👍👍👍

[@coolvideohub3462]

So glad your sharing your project, will be very helpful as I am about to start my capri 87 special. Look forward to your next vid.

The idea of people knowingly leaving cars outside that seem perfectly good and worth large amounts of money seems unbelievable. It may be an aspect of dementia that no one has really investigated properly.

This one was taken off the road in 2001 and has been through at least 2 changes of owner since, it was dry stored for most of this time, it had a couple of months outside immediately before I got it due to the storage being vandalised, then a month outside when I got it before I had indoor space available. I think it would have been a lot worse if it had been outside throughout

This is great and I can't wait to see future videos, but please get a wireless microphone to clip onto yourself so we can hear you talking! (some parts when you are far from camera, can hardly hear you). Would make a world of difference to your videos :)

[@tryingstuffout1]

Thanks, you’re absolutely right, I’m new to this and still learning. It’s something I’m going to get asap, hopefully in time for the next video 👍

[@flymetothemoon5138]

Good luck with the K-Jet system, willing to bet that gives you some headaches after being off road so long

[@tryingstuffout1]

Thanks! I have no doubt, there will be a lot of headaches along the way but I’d rather go through everything than buy one for 3 or 4 times the price and still not know what’s been sorted properly or otherwise.

[@flymetothemoon5138]

@@tryingstuffout1 yeah totally agree, if you do need any K-Jet bits drop me a message, I've got a stash of metering heads, WURs, air valves etc

[@tryingstuffout1]

Awesome, thanks, I may well be in touch 👍

[@Roverturbo]

When it was trying to start when cutting out, that would be the cold start valve only. You will prob find the metering head piston is stuck or sticky. Try taking off the air pipes and manually lifting the arm up and down to clear it.

My kind of ecu - a bank of 7 fuses! Oh we were blessed.

[@frankpeach449]

Great video. Will look forward to the next and follow episodes. Well done m8

[@davidrix804]

Looking forward to this project,but please try to upload to carry on with project unlike some other on KZbin’s that don’t🙏🙏

[@michaelhasse2568]

Im glad I watched, couldn't find a place to mount my high pressure pump lower than the tank and I saw how this one was mounted. Had 2 73 Capri's in the 80s. Wish I had one now that I know how to build engines / horsepower

[@Edward-nv6gp]

Looking forward to seeing this happen.

[@mikego18753]

I never in a million years thought it would fire,ha ha.. Thanks.

[@sagecouncil]

Great start..Good luck..

[@peterbustin2683]

The old fuel in that pump. Ive never seen anything like it!

[@RoughRestos]

Nice work! keep it up

[@brilog69]

What year is this? Similar to the US one. My buddies was carbureted and a '76 2.8l

[@tryingstuffout1]

This is a 1985

The resurrection shuffle……luv it so much
