Re: Banger racing on BBC2 last night

I used to follow the racing quite a lot but drifted away from it over the last 12 months, no pun intended :lol: That meeting was an all mk1 and mk2 Granada meeting but most of the meets for the larger cars are basically anything over 2 litre and rwd. It's amazing there are still so many of these old...

Re: Tyres

Got the afternoon off so just popped round to my local tyre place, 2 blokes sat reading newspapers with noting to do :o been quoted £10 per tyre which seems OK compared to what you guys have said, reckon if I take the Capri into them and get them chatting that might knock a bit more off :whistle:

Re: Tyres

Fair play for offering them out at a decent price and if it makes you a few £ at the same time then go for it 8-)

Just out of interest, has anyone used the website above before that can recommend it?

Re: why do people take the piss of other peoples capris

Don't worry about it, 2 faced people have nothing better to do. Have been on the receiving end myself but not to do with cars, you know the old saying you can please some of the people some of the time :wank:

Ps. Nice car :tongue:

Bracket Identification

OK, this might be a dumb question for some of you but do these look like Mk2 Capri front bumper brackets? They dont look long enough to me so think they might be from another Ford but any help greatly appreciated! :applaud:

Re: Capri Project

Took it for an MOT check this morning and it looks better from up top than it does underneath! Then again, what 26 year old Ford doesn't?

Ah well, more to add to the list and plenty to keep me busy! :lol:

Re: could i get a 2.0 capri for £900 with mot?

I bought mine for just over £1100 so not that far off. Fair enough it needs work but it was tax'd & MOT'd and ready to drive away. It could be used just as it is but I want to make it better :geek:

Bumper Mounting

Hi all, Might be a bit of a daft one but I'll ask anyway :wave: I've got a Mk3 but with no bumpers on and have bought some Mk2 ones to go on. Will the Mk3 bumper brackets still fit or will I need to make some custom ones? I havent got any brackets for them at all yet & dont want to waste time ge...

The plan is to tidy it up with a bit of welding/bodywork, respray and new interior as well as a few little m...
