Re: 3 in 4 days

Thanks chaps. Can't wait to get her home.
No Andy I haven't. That went to the scrapyard in the sky after I sold it. It was a rot box when I had it. Was like a patchwork quilt underneath. I managed to get the seats back tho and am modifying them to fit the Capri seat runners.

Re: 3 in 4 days

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

Nothing fancy mate. Just a kerbed set of wolf race rims I took off a Lexus I broke a few years ago. Tyres ain't even that good only got a few thousand left on them.
No trouble since though and I have been checking daily

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

Nice pup fordperv. My mates just got a Belgian shepherd and that's a nice dog. Thanks for the comments about my staff Dexter aswel. I had a few mates over this weekend. Kind of a belated house warming. Some of them are unsavoury looking characters. Most of them train in the local gym, some do mma an...

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

Sadly due to these ill trained owners the staff is the most common dog in the kennels. I got a staff I'm all big and hard yet the dog knows only fear and is therefore left confused and frigtened. Between myself and the inlaws we have 8 staffys. It's these lowlife pricks that tried Havin my wheels aw...

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

I couldn't live with myself if that happened Paul. I would have to run out and help after I'd had my breakfast, fed the dog, fed the child, had a shower, chose my clothes for the day etc

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

North Devon Bideford area Andy. Lovely part of the world but there's crap around no matter where you live. Yes the amount of times I get stopped with the dog for people to say exactly that. I always say the problem with these dogs in on the other end of the lead. These dogs if treated and trained pr...

Re: Tried nicking my wheels

Yes Andrew that is him although that photo was taken about 5 years ago. He is one of the larger staffys you will see. Good as gold with the kids and everyone else unless told otherwise ha.

Re: Tyson Fury At Car Show

I have seen the man before. Stood nearly a foot taller than everyone else. I'm not usually a nervous type but was too nervous to go and ask him for a picture. His fists are the size of my head. Kick boxer I may be but world heavyweight champion I am not haha. Always feels strange when u see a celebr...

Tried nicking my wheels

Got up early on this fine wet Saturday morning. Had my breakfast and then thought I'd pop down the petrol garage to give the car a top up (in the Lexus is200, Capri is nowhere near finished).......something didn't feel right??? Back end was all over the place and the steering felt a bit suspect so I...

Re: Internal Fuel Pump modification

Capris have sender units mounted to the side of the tank but most newer cars have sender/pump/swirl pot mounted on the top of the tanks usually accessed below the rear seat bench. So I think using a newer pump as a sender aswel would not work because it would be in the wrong position. Or am I gettin...

Re: RS3100 restoration

That's gave me the kick up the ass I needed. My sons just turned 4 so he can help me soon. Hopefully I'm moving it to a double sized workspace at the back of a mates workshop within the next 6 months. So in between working, training and parental duties I should have a running driving capri in the ne...
