You mentioned your sheared off the dash trim - which bit do you mean? Just wondering if you had loosened the steering column slightly to let it drop when you are removing/refitting the dash? Gives some extra wiggle room

Should have bought the one I sent the link for a few months ago

The C3 gearbox was used on several cars and I would imagine that the illuminator is the same on them all. Might be worth having a look to see if you can find any parts from those cars that people may be breaking for parts

Ahh, the joys of working on cars. All the best to you Danny.

You're probably not wrong there Paul!
Cheers

When you say an exhaust smell inside the car, is the car currently stripped out or running? If stripped out then yes it will stink and not much you could probably do about it, if kitted out then am a bit puzzled Are you sure there are definitely no leaks anywhere on the exhaust or that there are no ...

Always nice to find sellers that don't want the earth for parts, especially if they are used and average quality!

Have saved him to my saved sellers list thanks to your link!
Have already started compiling a shopping list though

Although he is not on here these days Simon is still on the Admin team on here, he is a good bloke. You shouldn't have any problems. Simon "standard_man" Hinsley is it Peter? I never knew him by his surname! That's the chap Tom. We often don't do surnames do we. I have to rack my brain so...

Thanks chaps!
Have had a very stressful day drinking beer by a pool in Tenerife all day

Think you may have a hard time finding the exact clips or whatever you want to call them, but they were the same on all auto capris regardless of the year, and I would imagine can also be found in any other Ford of the period with a C3 box so someone may have some knocking around Otherwise you will ...

Passenger side is still a bit rusty around the mounts but not cracked yet no

I've taken it as a hint to start dieting if my weight has cracked the floor

Hi Danny, So, that's the secret you've kept to yourself! https://i.postimg.cc/SRNtBQC0/cat-seinfeld.gif You're definitely doing the right thing biting the bullet, and I look forward to seeing more photos as work progresses. Andrew. Thanks Andrew, have been wanting to do it for ages so really excite...

Cheers chaps, I know it's not terminal, just in need of a lot of new metal!
The amount of holes in the floor.... now I know what Major Tom must feel like!!

So, time for an update on my recent top secret project!! I've had Debby 12 years now and she has always needed the arches doing for as long as I've had her. 12 years, 60k miles and general abuse/wear and tear has added other jobs to the list as the years have gone on Life has always got in the way a...

If it works it work, stick with it, may be that the fan has croaked it though so worth checking that

In that case I'd say get in touch with Martin (Capri Gear) to see if he can help with a new box for you as a quick solution

Anyone know where to get a throttle cable?? CCI and Tickover have both been sold out for about two/three weeks and I'm in desperate need of one (will make sense after I have updated my project thread with my newest (currently, soon not to be) top secret project) Ta much!

No idea what that is, looks like someone has tried to have a go at it before.

I sprayed up my interior yesterday and was about to come on here with a scathing review of how it doesn't match the colour at all

Luckily before posting I realised I had the light grey can and therefore it looking awful is totally my own fault

Back to Halfrauds I go ...
