The Ford Capri Laser Page

Been reading this topic with great interest, I too have 1600 and intended to lob a Rover V8 in after having one in my Ford Pop. Totally agree with the heavy old V6 being a no no, but is it really a pig getting the Rover in? I was allways led to believe its pretty straight forward. Please don't piss ...

Welcome mate, I'm a relative newby too {6 months}.
These lot seem a reasonable bunch, always at hand if you have a problem or requirement.
Hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do.

Fantastic story, proves what a true petrolhead you are! I had to drive all the way from Stoke to Crewe for my Cappa {8 miles!} Make sure you take a pair of mk2 headlights and indicators back in your hand luggage on your next visit, always thought twin headlights on mk2's look odd! Shame about tyres ...

Whilst I may be straying away from the car in question {great car but bad colour and engine choice} I always remember my dad trying to sell his 2 year old mk5 Cortina in 1983, no one would touch it with a barge pole cos' it was a poverty model in 'Beige' with turd brown interior. Cortina fans would ...

Photo's can often be deceptive but this looks really tasty. Hope it reaches the money cos its bang on!!

Just taken mine off along with side mouldings and side repeaters etc. If you don't get fixed up, let me know mukka.

They pop up now and again on the Bay, bought mine a month ago, 60 beer tokens and worth every penny!! now looking for a Turbo Tail but don't want to sell a kidney!

Only kidding, haven't really got all these parts available.............................they're allready fitted to my Corsa!!!

I've got a fibre glass whale tail, a self adhesive bonnet scoop, a set of 'spinning wheel trims', a 6 inch back box and a full set of neons. mmmm, the perfect base!!!

''I'll buy that for a Dollar'' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deep dish banded steels or retro wide slots both in 13 inch !!! phwoor

Shite colour but needs preserving because of its originality. Poverty models in shit colours are rare because they were bad sellers. My first Cappa 22 years ago was a 1300 X/flow, the engine looked lost in the vast bay and it was worse on juice than the 1600 Laser that replaced it, Shell just too he...

Totally agree, I just love commercials and 'quirky' vehicles. This van reminds me of Robocop for some strange reason!

WOW, and black so unforgiving too. New owner will be a very lucky boy {or girl!} Thats a Stoke-on-Trent reg by the way.

Have you seen those gizmo's that turn a spraycan into a spraygun?
Just a bit of plastic but quite clever really.
Used one 20 years ago on my 1980, 1300 X-Flow powered mk3 Cappa,{0-60 in 3 weeks}. Are they still available?

Major_Tom, I've just laughed so much, a bit of wee came out! classic.
Ill have pint of what you're drinking!

Three snags..... what if the Tom is a teetotal, nonsmoking raving homo ?
bit like myself..................

Now I've got your attention, can anyone suggest how I can stop cats pissing in my f*****g garage, all over my f*****g tools and all over my f*****g Cappa!!!

'Sic' and 'Fearce' as the yoof of today would say, I've been hoarding rattle cans to do my Laquer red beast satin black as a temp spray job, will also look 'Sic' rolling on its Carlos Fandango Super Slots. How many do ya reckon it'll teck? Not worried about aching arm or finger action as my right ar...

well my good lady wants me to sell my 'cheezey chest wig mullet mobile' and buy an aircooled camper.................what do i do? or is that a retorical question?

'aquired a woman', dunna do that mate, I've got one of them but she hates Capri's.
Won't be seen dead in my 'crock of shit'!!! .........but the house is clean...oooh
