The Ford Capri Laser Page

Is that a Cosworth whale tail on the Capri in the old photo? A sign of the times...... :D Andrew. Hi yes it was Andrew, I fitted it myself, drilling into the tailgate and making sure I got the measurements right was very nerve-racking to say the least. I actually fitted side skirts, front spoiler a...

Nearly 50 vs Early 20's, some things never change.

Thanks fellas.

I'm not sure if I will put laser decals on the sides yet, I have put the Capri 1.6 laser decal on the tailgate so far.
. I've been grabbing a few photos, enjoying the sunshine.

Hi there, Does anyone know what the correct colour laser decal is meant to be on a red 1.6 laser? I bought the red laser lettering with the silver outline decal, but the red could not be seen against my red Capri, so I found one last remaining silver lettering decal with a burgundy outline, can thes...

Thank you for the comments fellas, I just wish my father was here to see the Capri all finished, he would have been amazed in how much it looks like my old Capri back when I was 18. My father and I had some great times working on my old Capri's back in the day, I had an 1982 LS and a 1979 Ghia, my f...

Thanks fellas. Regarding the wheels, I've bought 2x different sets of wheels these past two months, a set of chrome Cyclones and a set of gold KN Diamonds with a polished rim, neither set worked for me. I believe the RS4 spokes suit the Capri really well, Ford seemed to have got the design right fir...

Hi fellas, its been awhile, sadly my father passed away so I've been a bit behind with the restoration etc. The Capri went back in for more work, so she ended up having a complete respray in the end. 94262382_221979212561827_7547019921536843776_n.jpg My condolances on your father passing away.

She is pretty much finished now. I will have to do a before and after pic, she looks a completely different car now. :o https://scontent.flhr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p180x540/98594660_691201081657636_2948418460847177728_o.jpg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8024bb&_nc_oc=AQm_tNws50m6xT6ZH-sK12DAVzplY7...

Lovely weather to be fitting new toys to BEF...

A new number plate, new metal chromed number plate surround, and a new period Ford badge.

Fun, fun and more fun, when can I go for a spin?

Hey thanks Rob

I reckon I'm gonna stick with the RS4 Spokes though, they seem to suit the Capri perfectly, I may end up getting them refurbished.

Resurrecting a 10 year old thread...

Is there any members here in Dorset?

All sorted.

Got a replacement lock (thanks Martin), then had a set of keys cut to the lock, job done.

Hi there, What wheels do members have on their Capri?

I was wondering what range of wheels are available that have the same 63.4 size center bore?

Are there any wheels available that have a chrome finish?

Thanks

Try cleaning the contacts, mine were corroded and a bit of WD40 solved the problem.

I find tinkering always means spending lots of money, there is always something you end up wanting to buy.

I also have two MG's, and there is always something I'm wanting to buy.

Looking very smart. Is that a taxi mirror on the passenger side? I'd be tempted to fit some 'S' stripes :burnout: Thanks bud. ;) She is going back in to have the rear quarters panels, roof and tailgate done, and a couple of defects sorted along the scuttle. Ref: Taxi mirror... Yes I think it is, it...

I'm getting there... this blooming mirror ha been a right pain in the...

Thanks fellas.

Respray now finished, she is out of isolation, I'm really happy with the end result, a proper factory finish.

I've been trying out some Cyclones.

Respray finished, she is out of isolation.

I'm trying out some chrome Cyclones, what do you think, do they suit the MK3?

The Cyclones have a 75mm centre bore though, isn't the Capri 63.4mm?
