Re: swapping leaf springs

It isn't good, do the job properly, get the springs polybushed. If you buy a good quality set they will outlast the car.

Re: qoute for a professional to prime an enitre shell

If you can't afford the £2.5k to have a decent paint job then you certainly won't be having the shell acid dipped as that will add another £2k plus to the job. There's plenty of people who reckon that they can paint but the truth is unless the prep is done to a high standard it doesn't matter. That'...

Works every time.

Re: A day well spent

I don't understand why the MOT fills people with so much fear. Capris are a piece of piss to get a test on - if the car is sound in the body and is kept mechanically sound then what's the problem?
