The Ford Capri Laser Page

Golf mk1 Gti. If not I'm beat!

You got me. Exhaust could be mk2 golf, cortina or bmw 3 series and the other bit looks like a front panel covered in black stonechip.

Escort MK3

Astra MK1?

Only red herring is wiper spindle looks like BL/Lucas type.

Cortina MK1.

I wouldn't pay anything near that for it, even for my 3.0S.

Got a perfectly good Halfords down the road that sells shelves full of Nick's favorite spray paint ( in black) so that will do on mine!

I know the seller, he lives across the road from me and used to be one of my students years ago when I was teaching car mechanics.

Didn't know he'd got that though but he is a Ford collector.

Exquisite.

I'd be afraid to drive it after all that attention to detail. Beautiful job.

The Renault Passed the MOT with no advisories! Had full service, brake fluid and cooling system flushed and its driving a dream. All in all with insurance/service/MOT and buying the thing i've spent just over £750. proper bargain. :lowrider: Brilliant news. Just proves you still can get legally on ...

I'm having a clear out and have a set of CCi magazines dating from mid-2015 up to now. If anyone would like them you can have them free of charge so long as you can collect them from High Wycombe, Bucks. Please PM me if you're interested but if there are no takers in the next week or so they will be...

You can get all you need at Bigg Red caliper reconditioners. I bought a piston and seal kit for my laser and they seem fine. They also reconditioned the rear calipers on my Skoda VRs and did a good job.

Well found articles Andrew, but some lazy journalism saying the 2.0 Laser had XR3 seats;- they were the same cheepo ones that the 1.6 had.

I bought these, should be OK unless you've got some high powered system http://cpc.farnell.com/visaton/fr9-15-4ohm/loudspeaker-oval-4-ohm-9-x-15/dp/LS04224?ost=LS04224&scope=partnumberlookahead&exaMfpn=true&searchref=searchlookahead&ddkey=http%3Aen-CPC%2FCPC_United_Kingdom%2Fw%2Fsearch

It's amazing how much they've gone up. I sold a black H-Reg XR3i about 8 years ago and had a job to get £500 for it, even with a full MOT and it being reasonably tidy. Wish i'd kept that instead of my SD1!

I cut the hedges and the lawn to avoid said wedding then did my washing and went shopping whilst some random football match was on.

I have to admit that I've lost interest in all these car shows. They each seem to follow the same formula year in year out and most centre around some gobby egotistical presenter rather than the restoration work. I have no interest whatsoever in customised vehicles so that rules out many of the Amer...

Most people just make a repair patch just bigger than the corroded/cracked area, drill a 10 mm hole in it and bolt it to the floor using a seat bolt then just weld it over the top of the existing area. To do it properly you could cut out the bad area and make a new plate using the cut out bit as a t...

Exchange recon driveshafts aren't very dear, here's one on ebay

Good work and great to see another one saved. It seems they rust just as badly in Croatia as they do in the UK!

They used to be a good comfortable car. Worked on quite a few over the years. This one looks nice and is the even rarer 3 door. First job must be cambelt and water pump unless you have proof of it being done recently. Also check rear brakes as cylinders don't last long and rear brake shoe linings ca...
