Re: Capri 2.8i mudflaps

Hi Mc Tool. Thanks for replying. Yes, I was thinking along the same lines as you – some sort of plate or sheet to cover the split. That is my Plan B.

Re: Mk3 Capri Shell..Nearly Solid!! With Spares £500

Hello, I might be looking for a shell, or at least a front end, for my damaged 2.8i. Is your shell still available? This is a tentative, but genuine, enquiry. I am not a mechanic, so I have to rely on someone else to do the work. It has been suggested that rather than try to repair the Capri with in...
