The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi, I've never heard of that black stuff before, is it some kind of paint? Hi Andrew, this stuff comes as a kit, you clean spoiler first to remove any silicone then paint on with supplied brush, you can see the rubber soak it in, 2 coats was plenty. Saw it on here in an old thread somewhere and can...

Thanks for your reply mate. Is this the stuff you used mate

Yes, that's the stuff Nick, works a treat.

Car is looking amazing. It's been a while since the last updates, but it's good to see the extremely high quality finish to everything you're doing. Thanks Matt, appreciate it. Pictures always make things look better, it's not perfect but just hearing it run has given me a big boost, looking forwar...

you've made the right choice in having it painted in one shade all over. Good luck with the MOT Cheers Andrew, was hoping staying one colour would work, really like it now, & thanks for the support along the way. Reading and looking at your restoration has given me the kick up ass to finish min...

Looking forward to seeing this finished, enjoying the updates, coming on at a pace now, good luck.

Been busy with the Capri lately. After meeting up with Andrew, John, Neil & Mark in the Queen square Bristol meet in April & seeing their great cars in the metal, it was just the inspiration I needed to crack on with mine. A lot has happened since then, I've spent every rare spare moment in ...

Has Mrs Fordaholic noticed yet Nick? They look good mate, If I ever get to an event in mine, wouldn't mind one myself, roll on the 50th anniversary

Good luck with it Dan, If you're as enthusiastic about this car as you are with your Capri, it's in good hands. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum, you've made a good choice, both in the car & joining the forum. Some great friendly advice & years of knowledge available here. Good luck with it.

Hope nobody minds my very frequent updates. Quite the opposite, I would have thought. Have to agree. Really enjoying the updates, only problem is you're showing me how much work I've still got to do on the oily bits :D Car is looking superb, hope all goes well on the trip. Cheers for the updates, k...

Some great cars there Peter. Good to see a mk3 cortina in estate guise, must be rare now. Mk1's always look good too, especially in lotus colours. That Pontiac bonneville looks as difficult to park as most of the military machinery
Looked a good show, cheers for posting.

That looks like a fantastic car show. Is it mostly American and Australian stuff, or is there a lot of European cars Yes Andrew, mostly American muscle / fifties & Australian holdens & Utes. There were some mk1 cortinas & weirdly a few Morris minors scattered about :) biggest show any o...

Hi Andrew, Great pictures, pity about turnout but what was there was plenty diverse as always. My brother ran a Z28 Camaro like the one pictured, a 1987 model year. Wasn't that reliable a daily drive but was great fun. Haven't seen a tesla interior before, great looking car, that parking feature wou...

Bet no one told him on the day though

On Saturday, there was also a classic car run through glorious Pembrokeshire countryside, which was part of the same thing. That run sounds like a lot of fun. Capri is looking really good as always Andrew. That rover coupe looks an excellent conversion, a lot of work & looks like a factory prod...

Great pictures Nick. Some excellent fords to browse & that venue adds loads to the experience with the racing going on & the action arena, haven't been to the pod for 2 years but it's a great day out. Every one a winner looking at your pics but the one I'd like to own would be that purple mk...

Pretty sure 'mellow yellow' does them on here. Give him a pm, have seen them on eBay from time to time as well.

Good luck Nick, been best man twice, get plenty of these down you , helps a lot

Have fun, welcome to the club

Stunning job, really like the x-pack, they look especially good with 'S' stripes fitted IMO. Nice job Steve.
