CAL Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 it's a VW of some sort. Scirocco? Maybe it's a Steam Roller. Tirpitz, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That is a MkI Scirocco. The motor could be a 1.8L or a 2.0L running a 1.8 SOHC head and a pair of, I believe Solex, sidedrafts(). That guy has about a weekend of work to get that thing to run. Seeing the strut tops are camber plates, he plans to drive that car! I can also see the B/U light switch, which leads me to believe he is probably using the same gearbox I am.(Do you remember how close those gears are, Nick? ) Lots 'o fun!

Nick F40 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Brenden, it's nice to see ya! No Chris, it's not a steam roller That is a MkI Scirocco. The motor could be a 1.8L or a 2.0L running a 1.8 SOHC head and a pair of, I believe Solex, sidedrafts(). That guy has about a weekend of work to get that thing to run. Seeing the strut tops are camber plates, he plans to drive that car! I can also see the B/U light switch, which leads me to believe he is probably using the same gearbox I am.(Do you remember how close those gears are, Nick? ) Lots 'o fun! Not exactly but yeah lots 'o fun! Great info. Well, this guy does run it because it's a Berg Scirocco What's a B/U light switch What gearbox... I wasn't sure on the car or even the engine, I just saw it and figured one of you would get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 B/U=Back Up light switch. I can tell that it was a runner that was just apart because the header is really rusty. The fact that it's a Berg Cup car explains a lot. Battery relocated with an electrical junction panel typical of a race car in place of it. This one is lacking a few vital things to run such as (obviously) a radiator and hoses, plug wires, and throttle cable. I also think that trans probably has the same 1-5 gear set with an even shorter final drive than me, just a hunch . Good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick F40 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) What is that? It's a Steam Roller Ja, it's a German Ford Capri. What makes it German? I guess i'll give you that, the cat isn't a Capri though. Edited December 15, 2008 by Nick F40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) What is that? What makes it German? I guess i'll give you that, the cat isn't a Capri though. Well it wasn't a US built Capri. It was one of the few Euro built cars that made its way back to the states. Edited December 15, 2008 by CAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torinobradley Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well it wasn't a US built Capri. It was one of the few Euro built cars that made its way back to the states. German build Mercury (not Ford) Capri. Mercury's Mustang counterpart. I think the cat was the Mercury's trademark Cougar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) German build Mercury (not Ford) Capri. Mercury's Mustang counterpart. I think the cat was the Mercury's trademark Cougar. Nope, The Ford Capri coupe, produced by Ford Europe from 1969 to 1986. Completely different than any Mustangs.

The Creative Explorer Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Looks like a Molser - Isdora No, sorry it isn't It is from one of the new country's in making car's, and the name does say it is kinda 'vulgar'.
