The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone is keeping well. After losing out on a turbo tail that was recently listed on ebay (it went for £530) I've now got it into my head I must own one. Has anyone had any experience with the CCI reproductions. What's the fitment like? Do t...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response... I knew it! took a hack saw to the sleeve this morning and all removed.

Thanks again, great advice! fingers crossed the new bushed pop into place this time!

Hi guys, I'm currently in the progress of cleaning up the rear end of my car. The rear antiroll bar requires new bushes. I purchased the following from capri club: https://www.capriclub.co.uk/Rear_Anti_Roll_Bar_To_Body_Bush--product--621.html Using my bench vice I've just attempted to fit these. Aft...

Hi Martin,

What condition is the grill in? I'm after a grill with all fixings and slats in place with no repairs. Not fussed on the colour

Thanks mate

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your comments regarding this. I'm still a little unsure what path to go down but appreciate all the advice.
I'll do my best to keep you updated with my progress... once the underside is clean and I can move forward with the next steps .

Thanks again
Sam

Hi all, Firstly thank you for all your help last week with the removal of a stubborn leaf spring. The 9" angle grinder worked a treat, if not a little scary. Now everything is off the rear (leaf springs, diff and fuel tank) I wanted to take the opportunity to clean it all up. Since I've owned t...

Thanks everyone for your advice, I really appreciate it. I did try a hacksaw but like you said I seemed to be getting nowhere and gave up after about 30minutes! I also tried hitting it (more in frustration) with the biggest hammer I have but it still nothing! I've just purchased a 9" angle grin...

Hi everyone, Its been a number of years since I've posted, hope everyone is doing okay all things considered. I'm after some advice. I'm currently replacing the leaf springs on my mk3 capri... howvere I've run into some trouble. The front bolt appears to have fused to the bush and is refusing to mov...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all your advice as always - the brakes just don't feel as effective as they have in the past I was also keen to switch to vented discs as I too have experienced the pedal to the floor scenario .... :shock: :shock: :shock: - I thought this kit would be a great a start and the ...

Hi everyone, Its been a while since I've posted so its great to see its still going strong. My 1.6 d reg 1986 capri laser recently passed its MOT - whilst it was up on the ramps we had a look at the brakes and I've made the decision to bite the bullet and spend some money upgrading them. Front brake...

Hi thanks for all your advice brilliant as always... Ive always stuck with 20w / 50w... so just to confirm this is what I should be buying... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F372217136616 Thanks again... cant wait to get her started... except the wea...

Hi everyone, Not posted in almost a year but its time to start prepping the car for show season. Before I start her up I need to drain and replace the usual fluids. Coolant is fine... however its oil Im confused about. I used to always use Millers Classic 20w - 50w Oil. Unfortunately theyve rebrande...

Thanks for all the great photos - I was down in Uxbridge this weekend so jumped in with the Suburu club and my girlfriends dad. Always a great show but seemed even bigger this year ....not sure if that was something to do with the weather. Car of the show for me was a Mk1 Cortina - completely custom...

Finishes tomorrow

Hi mate,

Make me an offer via pm. Tbh Id rather it go to someone who's going to use it to bring a Capri back to life just like I did.

Sam

Seems a shame to scrap!?

I was down in London this weekend and invited along to Motors by the Moat in Kent. Firstly it was possibly one of the nicest locations, set right in front of Leeds Castle. As my capri was still in the bodyshop I joined my girlfriends dad and his Suburu RB5. The RB5 is a bit different to my capri, bu...

Hi Matt,

Thanks for asking!
The cars fixed, picked it up on Friday but haven't had chance to take any good photos yet, I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Smile is back on my face.

The car has no sunroof. In the V5C its listed as a Ford Capri 1.6 Laser.

Thanks Sam

Hi everyone, A few months back I posted about my car being involved in an accident: http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=49593&p=334391#p334364 I still have the remainders of the shell I used to repair the car and wanted to offer it up on here first. If no one wants it, I...

Hi mate, I've bought a shell to repair my capri which was involved in an accident a few weeks ago. I may need the drivers wing, slam panel, bonnet and front valence but after that I should be done. If that helps at all let me know however it could take a little time. The post is here, theres a photo...
