The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi mate,

These reversing light switches do come up quite often on eBay but genuine Ford switches command quite a high price these days, if not I think Tickover sell brand new reproduction switches.

Gorgeous colour

After reading the comments above I'm certainly tempted to have a go at this myself as the dash in my car is in an appalling state.

Martin, out of curiosity how much would you charge to put these together? Getting the time to do it can be a problem for me as I'm sure it is for a lot of people.

Wayne

No worries mate, I was a bit late to the party on this one

Wayne

Wow , that was a long winded load of crap If that's the best you can do than I think it says alot more about you than it does me. Let's just leave it there. Well come on Wayne :) , one mintue were talking about the popular opinion that a bit of weight in the back can be beneficial , you tellin us w...

If anyone is interested i'd like get this interior out of here. I'd rather sell stuff together so its not handing around and would do the Seats & Door cards for £400 (£50 off) because of that. Door Cards - £150 Door handles - £50 (drivers is not mint) Carpet - £100 Front & Back Seats -£300 Hi mate,...

All I'm saying is that I don't think there is much substance to the reputation the Capri has for handling, I do believe it's the driver that cannot handle the vehicle, for example, in a world population of 7.7 billion people how comes only 20 maybe 30 people are good enough to drive Formula 1 racin...

population of 7.7 billion people how comes only 20 maybe 30 people are good enough to drive Formula 1 racing driver's, if it really is only about the car and not the skills of the driver then surely anyone could do it? Because not many people have £££££££££££££££ my man. Hi mate, I get what you mea...

Wayne buddy , I had a 2.5l diesel van for work ,in spite of the fact the engine wouldnt pull your foreskin back it went better ,quicker overall with two 25kg bags of cement in the back ( I needed the cement for a different thing all together.......a pleasant surprize ). I have a toyota wagon that a...

Not only is the Capri a beautiful automobile it also appears to separate the men from the boy's I guess

With all due respect it's not the car that don't handle, it's the man/woman sitting behind the wheel that can't handle the car, it's like these old wifes tales about putting concrete in the boot, why would you add weight to a car you want to go quick in?

Wayne

Evening all,

Quick question, anyone here recommend a good dehumidifier for a garage, I know alot of you guy's keep your pride and joys in a garage, so, any recommendations?

Cheers

Wayne

The thing is how many people have the willpower to say no when someone offer's £1000 for something you bought for a hundred quid, regardless whether it's a part for a Capri or bottle of wine? I personally have loads of spare part's for my Capri's that, at the time I bought them, were for future proj...

there i was thinking i was helping out a fellow needing to restore his car!

That IS annoying.

Maybe the above is true but perhaps the guy was going to use it but the project/restoration didn't happen for some reason which happens quite often i.e. change of circumstances etc

The thing is it's not that expensive to have wheel's rechromed in the states, in fact when I spoke to the guy from Cal-Chrome he laughed when I said the wheels are 13 inch rims, he called them golf cart rims! He gave a quote of around 130 dollar's per rim which is a lot less than I expected but of c...

Yes those cragars in last pic, but 4 stud. Thx for views! I'd be interested to see that style of 5 spoke wheel with 4 studs It's the style of rim the poster is referring to I believe mate, Appliance 4 spokes are indeed sexy and now very expensive even in relatively poor condition, however be warned...

I was really meaning the disabled parks, most of them have generous spacing with a no parking zone next to them ( not a whole park ) and I have seen peeps cramming their car between 2 cripple parks (had that one towed......this bitch sat in a coffee shop laughing as I tried to get in via passenger ...

Also, things like correct tyre pressures make a huge difference and, apparently, the O.E. 185/70 tyres are much lighter than the 205s which many fit? This is totally correct, I have just put a set of wheels on my car with 195 60 14 tyres, it previously had 205 60 13's on there, the steering definit...

as for Cragar wheels I've never seen a set for a four stud Ford You have now.... :D https://oi846.photobucket.com/albums/ab30/markthetart/Sation3.jpg https://oi846.photobucket.com/albums/ab30/markthetart/12May067.jpg https://oi846.photobucket.com/albums/ab30/markthetart/DSC00249_1.jpg https://oi846...
