a friend has been offered a capri. are these any good as a donor and dose any one have an pic of the bits out of one.

Engine, box, prop, rear axle, steering column, clocks, wiring loom, just about everything except the front suspension. I think the axle is better than the escort, they also usually come with useable wheels.

Sorry, forgot the picture!!

Its a bit deceptive, the pump is anout 1 1/2" above the stainless protection plate, well out of the way of any road damage, but a water shield is on the drawing board

" but a water shield is on the drawing board"
Are you expecting rain indoors?

A Capri MK111 would have all of this as well seeing as it's just a MK11 with a bit of a facelift.
P.S. you could also use the front struts and modify them to accept a top adapter. A friend has this very setup on his hillclimb car.

granada and sierra fuel pumps are in a really exposed position - the clamp that holds them in place gets a hard life, but the pump looked ok on my 13 year old donor. works fine on the car.

I built a alu box, put the pump in a tube in the box centre with the space between box and tube filled with expanding foam.

direct mounted pumps might set up an annoying vibration / noise thro the chassis.
