Re: dangerous subject this.

We'd lose some of our own basic human rights too (they want to get rid of the EU human rights act by leaving it), it would hurt trade if they got in, people on benefits would be stuffed, our NHS ruined, UKIP isnt looking out for the most vulnerable (people with mental health, poor etc). I happen to ...

Re: dangerous subject this.

The nazis actually started off as an `ordinary`political movement but over years and years they cultivated a climate of fear, blame and xenophobia amongst the embittered & ignorant, culminating in the `final solution.` Not that I`m saying UKIP are the worst example by any means - their European...

Sad to see so many voting for the racist bigots. You really think that was a good idea? Man oh man....

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Just when i thought everything was going well, getting ready to paint and end up on the home stretch we find this...rear valance which was a little bit wonky which we were gonna fix with a bit of panel beating turns out to be a complete basket case of a job. Great job whoever did this, you should ne...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Ok, got the engine bay painted. Had to rub down and re-do the base coat as moisture got into the gun and made the paint bubble but got there in the end. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3814/13697108203_3976e47ffa.jpg After that was done to a standard i was happy with (with me everything has to hold u...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

A mate of mine has a beach buggy with a VW engine in it.. he had a narrow escape when the fuel filter burst. That pissed petrol everywhere.. but wasn't the buggy's fault. Do be sure to carry an extinguisher.. accidents can happen regardless of the make. Yep, im going to this time. Im not even gonna...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

That's looking great. Funny you mention Game of Thrones.. I had a dream last night that I found a portal to the game of thrones universe through one of the old colleges in Cambridge. There was loads of whores and peril and for some reason I also had an Ingram MAC-11 submachine-gun, which as you can...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Really good progress, a lot of people would have abandoned that after finding all the corrosion, good on you for saving it. Like your new choice of colour also, a Capri looks better in a darker colour IMO. Thanks! Small update. Got some more paint down, just the inside of the other door and bonnet ...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Small update: My dad finished off the headlight buckets, what an amazing job, considering what he had to work with and he's never done a Capri before! As a little reminder i have included what they looked like before he fixed them: (all the white stuff is Tiger seal seam sealer, we're not taking any...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Top work there matey. Exactly where did you find the original build sheet in the car? Your work on the spare wheel well is giving me the motivation to sort mine out, need to be a little careful as not removing the seats to do it but all the plastic trim is out. Just want to sort out the rust and ke...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Bit of an update. I have decided i am changing the color from Glacier blue to Cobalt blue. The glacier blue just isnt growing on me and it is too bright for my tastes, that and it looks like boring old silver in some lights which i hate as every boring modern car is silver these days. Here's what we...

Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Hi, That's a nice car, shame about the hidden rust you have found. It doesn't look too bad from the first few photos. Is it glacier blue? It looks like there's still a lot of work to go, but I'm sure it will be stunning when it's finished. 8-) All the best, Andrew. Its getting there and slowly all ...
