I can see a bit of a problem in this pic. You will have wicked bump steer on this car, with the placement of the steering rack vs. the track control arms. You should be able to see it quite visibly as you lower the car off the jack to the floor, the wheels will go to toe-in as it is lowered. To correct either raise the mounting point of the rack, or lower the mounting point of the TCA, or swap the outer end on the tie rods to the underside of the steering arm on the strut(they normally mount underneath on a Capri) It will be almost undrivable like this. Not trying to $hit on your thread, as it all looks good, but just noticed it and will be much easier to sort now than later:D

check the fuel pump fuse in the fusebox by the windscreen wiper motor. The fuseholder can overheat and melt, giving the problem you describe. Very common on these cars Also, make sure the coolant temp. sensor you fitted is a weber one,(I think there was also a blue VDO one which is okay to use) but don't use a Bosch 026 sensor! The Bosch sensor is close, and works okayish, but the reading at about 20° is different and can make the car harder to start.
