Re: My Capri

What a stunning example, you should be proud.

Any chance of some Interior shots for reference?

I have a 2.8i Special, 4th owner - it’s fully restored to stock spec but would love to see an interior shot so I can see the original leather steering wheel colour, gear knob etc..

Re: 1987 2.8i Special

So I done this last year and it’s been back on the car for about a year. I haven’t done many miles in it but haven’t had any issues - (no more leaks). It was certainty a big task. Taking it off was a pain and stripping it down and carefully replacing the seals, making sure everything was super clean...

Re: 1987 2.8i Special

I’ll remember that if I need to get more paint. Have a bit left over from the re spray so should be good. Has anyone ever tackled changing the seals in their steering racks? I had a leak from the rack so decided to tackle it last year. Was a pain in the backside but I learnt a lot about the steering...

Re: 1987 2.8i Special

Thanks for the comments guys. Stuck with the original “Titan grey” colour, which is basically mercury grey I am told?

Here’s pic that shows the before and after, and an under the bonnet shot. 8-)

2.8 (apparently) for resto...

Anyone noticed this 2.8 for restoring on eBay? Is it me or does this looks like a 2.8 in every way apart from the lack of reinforced strut tops? Could be a re shell? Pretty sure all V6 models has them https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193142750677 Chris

1987 2.8i Special

Been on this site for years but haven’t ever actually posted any photos of my 2.8i. I bought it in 2005 am the 5th owner. I restored it after running it around for a few years.

Great stash of parts you have there, you will get top dollar for such rare items.

How much are you wanting for a parcel shelf?

Re: original Ford Capri Rubber Mats Wanted

Hi mate,

I ended up listing them on eBay before you replied to my message. I instantly received a bid which I wasn't expecting otherwise I would have give you first dibs. Sorry about that.

If you did want to bid, here is the link

Re: original Ford Capri Rubber Mats Wanted

Did you have any luck with the mats?

I have a brand new old stock set of rear mats if you are interested?

Thanks

Re: Ford capri 1977 3.0s resto

Looking lovely, great job.

What seal did you use for the sunroof? Is the original back in?

Mine was knackered, I had lots of aggro with the replacement seal I bought and it still doesn't fit flush.
