Great, thanks everyone for the advice!

Main reason for the easy swap to 34 ICH is just to get the car running better and get it on the road again. I’ve got a used 32/36 with manifold to go on at some point in the future but I’d more than likely shear the bolts on the block long before I get the original manifold off! Just thinking minima...

Thanks Martin,

I’m near Lincoln so will be coming your way for parts as the work progresses!

Had my 1.6LS for almost 10 years and it always ran well. About 5 years ago the original VV carb died and, being on a budget, swapped it for a New old stock VV but with manual choke. Car was laid up for about the past 4 years and the plan now is a restoration to full health with a bit more money to d...

Thanks everyone - some very amusing responses!

Less desirable models? Is there such a thing??

Thanks for the replies Gents, I appreciate your input. Perhaps 'Cheap Parts' was misplaced - I meant it's cheaper to pick stuff up over an extended time frame compared to someone in urgent need of parts at short notice! Mine is all original apart from the wheels. There is no way I'm going to take it...

Hi everyone, I'd be grateful for some technical advice regarding the differences between Capri models in order to explore the feasibility of constructing a working car from parts. Given the insane cost that some of the larger engine models fetch these days I'm thinking that it might be cheaper, if I...

If no-one is selling, I'd be grateful for advice on the going prices for above items. I sit and watch them on eBay and other sites and the part of the world they're located in seems t...

Thanks for the quick reply, no boot spoiler.

What sort of trim/options were available on LS models?

Thanks

Hope someone can offer some advice. I've got a 1983 1600 LS and I'm not sure about the badging. Image here...http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w461/4444244/IMG00973-20120302-1046.jpg I've never seen another LS with the bonnet stripe and the outlined bonnet bulge? My car doesn't have side stripes, ...

Thanks for the quick replies!

Will try these and see if there is any improvement. I'm based in Durham.

Advice wanted please! I'm having great difficulties starting my Capri, it's a 1983 1.6LS . It's all standard with no modifications. When Cold it is near impossible to start and wont even fire unless the throttle is pressed nearly to the floor. Once it fires it is necessarry to keep your foot on the ...

Wanted: RS centre cap for RS 4 spoke alloy wheels in black, like the one in the photo.



I'm looking for at least one but possibly more.

Can anyone tell me exactly what type of wheel nuts I need for a set of Pepperpot alloys and where I can get them from?


Thanks
