The Ford Capri Laser Page

Wow Des ! Looks absolutely superb mate even in that light. I can only imagine how stunning it must look in natural light. Its been a while coming but well worth the wait to see it finally in paint Des. Stunning work by Steve :) Thanks Nick, perhaps should have waited as its much darker in the pics ...

Now available in lacquer red... false light in no way do it justice so better pics soon :D http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j55/dozzer_2006/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-04/IMG-20170404-WA0012_zpsgfvabhnq.jpg [/URL] http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j55/dozzer_2006/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-04/IMG-20170404-WA0...

Looking good Des, thanks for the update, it's great to see projects coming along, especially ones as good as this one. Going to be a top Capri, was great to begin with. :goodluck: Rob Hi Rob, I searched for ages to find a decent project before I found B100 in Northern Ireland, I get lots of stick o...

Hi Des, Car looks great....... But I didn't expect anything less from Steve. :goodluck: Andy Thanks Andy, I've been in and around the car game for more years than I care to remember lol, Steve is meticulous in his approach to getting the best results possible within the budget you agree from the ge...

You must be really pleased with how the shell has turned out, it looks spot on from the photo.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Yes very pleased indeed it's very, very straight and original wings, panels etc. Matching numbers car which is why I decided to have Steve rebuild the engine

Cheers Des

Been some time but she's finally in primer... not long now :wub: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j55/dozzer_2006/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/IMG-20170329-WA0008_zpsfiqm7wbl.jpg [/URL] http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j55/dozzer_2006/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/IMG-20170329-WA0009_zpsoqbnonkm.jpg [/URL]

I am sure I seen it race up the Santa Pod 1/4 mile at 160mph last June. Sorry Des, only joking

Nick

Thanks..

Hi Des, Whatever it is it looks good! Are they bonnet pins I see? Andrew. Thanks Andrew, yes well spotted my friend... The car transferred between two brothers over the years one of which fitted bonnet pins. They will be gone at refurb time but staying for now even though the fitment resulted in a ...

I took a punt on four original RS 7x13 wheels that supposedly had issues over 40/50 mph from Germany and they arrived last week. Following a good check over and a visit to the tyre shop it turns out they are true with no issues so off for refurb, balance and tyres... Result :D Fitted a new sportex e...

Thanks Rob, minimal changes and enjoy it for a while first ... Is the order of the day... Then the rebuild a bit later on lol

Let me know if what your plans are with the interior, love the strobe stuff if you aren't keeping it....

Thanks

Sorry Danny the strobe will be staying

Looks like you need some of Fordaholic Nick's Halfords dark grey vinyl paint on those door handles and the ashtray. I would have the wheels redone in silver with properly fitted silver S stripes, otherwise what a nice looking car. You must be pleased with it. . Thanks Paul, tins of Nicks dark grey ...

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, the fishnets are a little bonus but soon to be removed along with many more little items...

Cheers Des

That's a really good job you've done there looks great..... Wheels make a real difference done well

Looks pretty sweet! Love the interior though maybe not those interior handles.... :shock: Lol yeah there is lots to change. The previous owner and his brother are 2 out of the 4 previous owners and have different tastes ... I'm a standard type of guy but won't knock it as each to their own.. ;) loo...

So whilst the 2.8 rebuild is going on I've been looking for another little project capri. Looked at quite a few either overpriced or total rot boxes. Bought this little 2.0S this morning to run about in until my 2.8 is finished then I'll tuck it away until I decide how far to go with it. It's been i...

That sir is a great build ... Fantastic
