Default Re: CK18km? gtv6 capri,

[QUOTE=allanv6gt;5087284]Slam panels get replaced after minor front end bingles and not re-stamped.
Compliance / ID plates are only held on with pop-rivets, so can be easily swapped around.
However, V6 body shell structural diffrences are harder to fudge - at least 4 immediately spring to mind (3-bolt engine cross-member, full length plating in front of strut on subrail to beaver panel in wheelarch, gussets at top rear of inner engine bay skirt to firewall, high-level brake lines crossing plenum chamber)


1970 V6 GT had the engine number stamped on the drivers strut mounting plate top face.
My engines are all JEnnnna, e.g. JE1234B. Don't recall if this is on the compliance plates.

Identification plate does show......
Model 13018 is a Capri (13) 1970 (0) GT (18). 1971 GT would be 13118.
Engine P (V6), D (1600-1V in Deluxe), F (1600 2V as in XL model)
Trans X (mnl), Y (auto)
and paint/rim codes etc


Have you checked the things above that allanv6gt suggested (in particular the cross member its the easiest) if they aren't right you have a 4 cylinder body.
