Thank goodness they didn't supply toilet roll on the same principal! Mind you it was probably Izal toilet paper any way.

Re: Interior Re-trim

That is an absolute top job Nick, Mike has done a beautiful job. I may contact him in the future to repair my Carla recaros which just need a repair on the black cloth of the driver's backrest and the piping redone on both fronts.

Re: What next?

I used to get marched up the stairs by mum then put over her bed and I got 3 of the best from her slipper. Dad once took his belt off to me when I had been particularly naughty. I still loved and respected both of them until their dying days and I thank them for giving me a wonderful childhood and t...

Re: dash facia

I remember that for MGBs, Mercs and several other vehicles you used to be able to get a stick on walnut veneer or carbon fibre look dash vinyl but cant seem to find anyone who does one for a Capri. I also have a good dash with its clips etc still intact and would love to get something to do the same...

Re: respray

If it's standard solid black then regular two pack is usually good enough. As for getting a repaint at a cheap price I would invest in a compressor, spraygun and good mask if I were you. I see you own a Robin Hood. I built one myself about 20 years ago but had to sell it in 2019 as i got too fat to ...

It seems a large percentage of them use their genitals to bugger each other if you go by the amount of deviance on the telly.

What is the most worrying thing Andrew is that these cretins have the vote and are able to breed. I'm glad I'm old and decrepit.

I can answer this on Danny's behalf - yes it is a seat mounting area. Common Ford problem.

Re: Laser + GL and now a 3.0S!

It doesn't look too bad for a car that is used daily, it's done quite well. All the ferret oxide on it is quite fixable. It's about on a par with how my Laser was, maybe a bit worse in places.

I swear I've still got one of those somewhere. I can't remember the name of it. Probably in one of the boxes of crap that I will have to get rid of to move to a smaller house.

Re: Noise from exhaust

rattles from the bellhousing/clutch area are often the flywheel bolts coming loose. Worrying! How does that come about, poor rebuilds? Hopefully not from Cologne? No, as far as I understand they just vibrate loose after several years of use.. Usually a drop of loctite and re torquing does the job, ...

Re: Noise from exhaust

Hi guys, thought I would update you all. Had someone else look at the car and they said take the starter off and take another look. It would appear that the bendix doesn't return when it is pulled out and it's loose on the shaft which I suspect is causing the rattling. Could this be caused by a fai...
