The Ford Capri Laser Page

I have not change a mirror on the Capri for years but this is from my head ( must be wrong ) you point the mirror all the way up and use a piece of flat plastic to unclimbed from the bottom . Or was that the Escort ? Somebody on here will no . And good news is they sell them at Trago Mills at Newto...

Does anyone know of replacement glass for a standard passenger door mirror or even if the casing can be separated from the glass? The reflective surface on mine has part worn away (my fault as I got carried away with a polish and didn't realise how thin the mirror surface was)

So know double shots of the capris lads ? Also I hope you offed nige a biscuit? Andy :lol: Would love to live down that way with the Capri going over Dartmoor stopping for a cream tea at two bridges and a wonder around Tavistock market with dinner at some very nice old pub . :beer: :sorry: JM no pi...

Good to meet you Andy and thanks for the cuppa! Pleased that you have a Capri and a cracking one at that.

A great car

Amazing looking car Andy and a credit to you and the marque .

I always clean and hoover my own cars and although it can take ages, the results are worth it.... as you've clearly proven!

Cheers Steve. Good to know and great to have a balance of opinions.

Thanks for the advice and insight Andrew; I can see the practicality of replacing the bushes with polyurethane replacements. Hello again Nige, It's best to get opinions from various sources, so wait to see what others have to say. Agree, informed decisions and all that. Seriously considering alread...

Hi Nige,
Replacing the probably well aged bushes on your car is definitely a good idea. New ones will definitely firm the car up.

Hi I want to replace the suspension bushes on my laser with the standard rubber ones and wondered if anyone had done the same and could suggest the best supplier? I see Tickover do some and but I also note Polyurethane bushes are a popular choice. However, I don't want to end up with a hard jittery ...

Good point Jason!

thanks

thanks Jason. Not sure about any awards though but just to make it and meet others will be good enough for me!

Thanks and on my to-do list Andrew! :cheers: Nige I'm proud to be the current custodian and do my tiny tiny bit in keeping this marque alive. It's good to have another enthusiastic member on the forum who is helping to keep the legend alive. :D I would highly recommend joining Capri Club Internation...

Hi and sorry to hear about the project but at least it will help keep others on the road/assist with other projects.. Do you have the dash top/padding or just the actual dash? Also, do you have passenger door glass and is it factory tinted? Cheers. Nige Hi there I have a big list of parts for sale f...

:agree: Andrew. The easy to access and prone areas have been done but realistically, the windscreen corner/scuttle is an area that in the near future, will need to be addressed properly, ie new metal repair. I don't have the skills or equipment to be able to carry out that so I will need to find a g...

Hi Tim and thank you.

Proud to be owning a Capri again after 20+ years!

Hi Jason Thanks for your supporting words. My wife and I went out for a short drive this morning as the weather was lovely. A chance to enjoy the Capri! I then bought some kurust and have been busy today putting it on the small areas under the windscreen rubber, by the scuttle and a few other places...

On a less positive note, I've just spotted the dreaded rust bubble at the base of the windscreen, by the rubber and another one close by on the scuttle. Does anyone know how best to access these areas from inside or underneath? I want to try and stop the rust, if I can! Nice looking car but I'm afr...

:cheers: Brilliant. I'm so pleased I took the plunge and bought a Capri. She may not be mint or a V6 version but I'm proud to be the current custodian and do my tiny tiny bit in keeping this marque alive. Look forward to meeting you and your steed next year then. :wave: Nige That's sound like a plan...

Hi Well I've had my Capri about 2 weeks now and I'm loving it. Driving it makes me smile and to me, it seems so involving after driving soulless modern euro boxes. So far, It's had a good wash and polish and been cleaned thoroughly inside. I've managed to get the dash lights working (multi plug was ...
