No mines original but you can get a sealer that you swish around inside to seal it.
I haven't done that yet.

Re: Anyone else sort their tackle out today
If you walk along the canal here in Stoke on Trent, you sometimes come across a pile of muddy shopping trollys, bikes, mopeds etc that the kids have dragged out. I suppose as well as fun it's good to get the shit out of the waterways. I remember as a teen when they drained the quay in Hull for the n...

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
I've not seen that new one yet, although seen the add. I've spent the last few days losing my mind with frustration.....binging on Fast and Loud, Wheeler Dealers, Car Sausage, Sin City.....

Re: Anyone else sort their tackle out today
I've seen kids magnet fishing in the canal around here. They've pulled out all sorts including pay phones that have been ripped out of phone boxes...... As for hobbies beyond our love of the Capri it's nice to know whilst all having something in common, we're all very different. Personally I'm alway...

This is actually a very rare prototype based on the Tyrrell P34 Formula one car back in the 70's

Re: Tyre balancing
I live in Maybank and have a white 2 litre but she's under restoration.
I knock about in a new Vivaro so it won't be me you've seen, mukka.

Re: Blue plastic lenses in dashboard pod removal
Bin off the blue plastic defusers and halogen bulbs and bang in some green leds......... I also lined the inside of the casing with reflective aluminium tape. The look great now.........

Re: Hmmm...Interesting 2.8i Special for sale...
There are many cars that don't suit being rag topped...
The Capri is such a beautiful shape and it's swooping roof line is part of its apeal plus the bonnet is too long, so it throws the proportions out.

As a lad in the 80s, we all used to leave the Doncaster Custom Show slightly earlier on the Sunday in order for the show cars to put on a show on the road outside Doncaster race course. We'd stand by the pedestrian crossing press...
