My Capri radiator actually came out of a Ford Transit van !!! Exactly the same, except I now have the tabs for the fan shroud .
My top tank was split and appears to have been made from the very rare metal called unobtainium.

If your tanks are good a re-core only costs about $300. I usually sell a used radiator for $100, but I dont have any V6 ones right now

I hate asking so many questions. But now I have installed the new radiator, I am missing the cover plate between the radiator and the front, would anyone have one of these.

Very hard to find V6 ones. A guy in Qld was making perfect reproductions in steel. do a search on the classic ford forum he might still have some

The one on the left is the lower radiator deflector panel. The two on the right are upper radiator panels for 4cyl cars.
