The Ford Capri Laser Page

a capri with a decent engine as a factory option would have been good

should have been a v8 in there

Hi Matty, remember this?????? Hi Kev, I certainly do remember, that car and I even have the same copy of Street Machine magazine. Must be showing my age :doh: Good to see a blast from the past. Matty28i Matty I remember looking at that car in streetmachine last time I was at yours and you did my we...

glad it was only on screen for a few seconds, wont affect prices in the way the mk3 cortina went up after life on mars

got the engine out of my 2.8, £75 or any reasonable offer, ran with no problems when it was taken out

pick up only from leeds

they have definately changed over the last few years. 5 years back when I had my 2.0 laser, I put it up for sale, it was solid but not mint, mot and taxed, and I had a hard time getting £400 for it. On the look out now and theres not much around for £1000

the 2.8 is now gone, I broke it for spares in the end, the shell turned out to be seriously worse than I expected. Cortina is running ok and its good fun but its just not a capri, so as soon as I sell my 4x4 I'll be on the hunt for a capri. I might have something in the pipeline but I'll keep quiet...

I would be having a good look at the strut tops on that car, someone has painted inside of the wing area and over the top of the struts, even coating all the bolts and the top of the strut itself. Looks recently done, very clean and bright paint

its very hard to tell from the ebay auction, only sure way is to go and look at it with someone who knows capris or car body work. My capri looked ace in photos, but underneath it was a rot box. I wouldnt buy another car off ebay without seeing it and having a proper look at the shell

hopefully I will be back in the driving seat of a capri at the next one

It doesn't look good, but mine was worse and I got it sorted. :) So you are looking at new wings, and drip rails, with a few repair sections to the tops of the inner wings and head lamp bowls. Most Capris are going to have some degree of rot in these areas, you'll just need to make your repair sect...

cheers I know exactly where you mean, from when I swapped over the fuel pump, thought that would be the right place but wasn't 100% sure

whats the best way to drain a capri fuel tank (2.8)?

started properly looking at the capri's body now the weather is a bit nice, poked around with a screwdriver and it started dissintergrating :cry: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/stevepeanut/capri001.jpg http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/stevepeanut/capri004.jpg http://i217.photobucke...

our lasses car has been running like shit for over a month now after filling up at tesco, been putting in shell optimax and its slowly getting better

borrowed this link off osf, cos it might be of interest to some of you Hi, I attach a copy of auction particulars you may like to circulate to your members. I am executor of the estate to which these belong. I imagine most of the cars are spares/repair only although most have been stored for many ye...

I live just off crossgates, theres a seriously nice 1.6 in huddersfield

yeah it was, but it turns out to have a good history, been fully polybushed, 5 speed fitted, well looked after

by the way, where in leeds are you?

thats the ghia wheels from an old photo, the lad was on about selling them for extra, but in the end he gave me them

I'd lose those wheels though.

I'm not sure about the 15s myself, I got a set of original ghia wheels in the boot
