Thought they were great back then but time hasn't been kind to either show unfortunately. Daisy Duke doesn't seem to have a...

Re: 1979 Capri 2.0 "Ghia"

You've been busy :D . Always good to read about how someones car is improving. Nice work on the interior & glad you got the temperature gauge working. Remember rebuilding with a carb kit years ago, brought back memories of a kitchen smelling of petrol before I was blessed with a garage. I like t...

Re: WTD Capri 2.0s Interior

whether the interior was Strobe or the earlier Carla check will depend on when it was made. Check behind the rear seat pads to see if the build sheet sticker is still there. :agree: I know from 1981 on they had the strobe seats ( I had an '81 X registered one with these as standard and it stayed un...

Re: Rotary Tool - Aldi

I know that some on here take satisfaction from polishing/tittivating their bits (ooh!) and that rotary tools are a part of this process. Aldi have them in currently, seems a very good kit for around £17 Couldn't have timed this better Paul. My son builds electric guitars & was looking to buy o...
