Re: Starter motor strip down and refurb
They aint as straight forward as you may think, depending on the model you may have to unsolder some joints to get it apart, and another wee trap in that the field windings for the motor are aluminium so dont damage the brass fused on terminals on the end when you unsolder brushes . I have seen peep...

Re: Capri mk3 with sbc which headers
Your into make it yourself territory now . Have you had the engine in the engine bay ? , also depends a bit on how much you can change stuff around to fit it in and still be legal . Pretty much anything to do with chassis, steering, suspension or brakes changed here in NZ requires an engineers inspe...

Re: Outer sill replacement
Yeah Wayne , you gotta be thinking "can of worms" if you dont want nasty surprizes . I know that as our cars are appreciating classics money spent doing (or getting done ) quality repairs is a good investment ( take pix ) even tho having to find money for non essentials can be a pain in the arse, π ...

Re: Doesn't everyone love a bargain !!!
Amazon sellers do baffle me with the postage costs, can only assume that they buy a pre paid lot cheaper or/and use cheaper couriers than royal mail. I buy a bit of stuff from China and I,m borderline suspicious as to what they are up to , I mean ,I bought 50 life size worms ( hey ! at least they a...

Re: Window channel felt
That felt is called a Bailey channel . I just took the glass right out to do mine , but I had become a bit of an expert at that π ,I dont think you have to remove it to do the job but it might be easier. Make sure the new channel is the correct length, my 2 channels were delivered in one piece so be...

Re: Must be spring
I always figured that parking next to the most expensive vehicle was prudent as they were the least likely to bash their door into my car......but that only works if the carpark is busy. When Im out in crapi I dont park it out of sight. Old classic Fords ( or certain parts thereof )are a good prize ...

I see you have the good sense to park such a stunning Capri well away from the other cars in the car park.

Re: Carcoon Covers
I have never used anything like a carcoon . If your charging a battery would you not have to give some consideration to the build up of explosive gas in your carcoon , ( Im thinkin hindenburg 


) . It aint that hard to hoik the battery and they are easier to check over whilst on the bench.
