The fan belt felt tight enough but I readju...

Re: Body work issues
Speaking from recent experience of fitting two new pattern wings I would go for the repair option, pattern wings never fit right and are a ball ache to make them fit something like.

My dad buys crap
I don't know if anybody else has posted about this series that is on You Tube with a guy restoring a couple of Capri's and a MG B, I only stumbled on it by accident but it made for a bit of good viewing with the odd comedy bit thrown in. Just type the above title in You Tube search and enjoy.

Re: could i get a 2.0 capri for £900 with mot?
Personally mate I think you are selling it a bit too cheap the faults you have listed are not a big deal and are relatively an easy fix. I doubt you would get a 2.0 with an MOT at that sort of money given the sudden rise in Capri prices.

Anybody know when it's on, personally I can't stand the guy but if a Capri is involved I can tolerate him.

Re: D reg 2.0 Laser! worth finishing?
Certainly worth finishing as most of the big jobs such as welding have already been done, I purchased a D reg 2.0 Laser 4 years ago and still haven't got it on the road yet but I have enjoyed every minute of working on it, up to yet I have replaced both front wings, both rear wheel arches, rear vala...

Anti theft device
A few years ago we went through a spate of garage break ins and car thefts where I live, instead of fitting an expensive alarm system on the garage I purchased a £10 P.I.R detector alarm that was battery operated and fitted that in the garage and then I purchased a pair of baby monitors, placed one ...

I had to laugh when Mike Brewer said they were keeping the Mustang original then they paint it in a non standard paint and fit non standard wheels.
