The Ford Capri Laser Page

Another great meet. Both cars a credit to their owners, nice work on the leather John. Nick, the smile says it all .
Laquer red polishes up really well too

Both mini car shows are excellent Peter. Lucky for you crowds are down at the moment so you managed to get great shots without people in the way

Even your trolley Jack parks on the carpet . Glad you enjoyed the (20 metre) drive, Capri looks right at home in there.

Bloody hell, that looks amazing, wanna sell it?
If you're ever thinking of doing this as a sideline Andrew, can I be first on your list please ?
Nice work.

You don't see many good 2.8 under 15k now! :o For Sale, Grey 2.8i .. :) Pretty surprised by this as I don't look at prices, just happy to own one. Everyone knows a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay but a quick look on car and classic at escort prices shows RS2000s in decent condition...

Great to see this coming along, Lots of good work going on. Glad you’re over your accident, keep the updates coming & good luck.

One of the cleanest garages I’ve seen. Nice job Nick

Even as a toy that looks like a rugged machine Paul

Sorry to hear of your loss. It’s great that your dad got to see the car over Easter.
It’s looking really good, with you on the 4 spokes, they really suit the S & Laser Capris.

Love these old pedal cars. They still look great, Would love one to keep for the grand kids. If I ever get any

Cheers, I agree about the engines too. My sons brother in law has a Mk2 escort with red top. Doesn’t do it for me either.

That repair looks excellent Andrew. They Have used Devcon liquid metal in the airline Industry. I know it’s a different make but principle is the same. If it’s good enough for that your repair should hold ok. Good luck.

Stu, that's a lot of work you've undertaken in the last 13 years. Good to see an update on where you're at. If I was you, as the car is as stripped as it is, I'd get it sprayed now if you can. I just think if you jump the gun & build it back up for an mot after all this time you may lose the dri...

Capri is looking great Jason. Looked a nice day for a run too.

Think the RGA is the best looking after market spoiler out there. Well designed & suits the car very well. Looks good on yours with that grille & angel eyes.

It's a job I need to do, got the dye just got to remove wheel & sort it. Busy repainting rooms in house at moment. I mixed the dye to a mid grey colour on gear knob but steering wheel looked dark grey originally so may mix darker for that. John I did use sealer on gear knob & it hasn't rubbe...

I would have given 51p for that. Quite rare in black.

Thanks for checking Andrew. That first car, although not my thing, took an awful lot of work to create and then looks like it was scrapped just 6 years later. It’s good to see the press car is still around, hopefully the Mk3 too.

At end of the day Mel it’s your car, your choice, either will look good anyway.

General Grabber tyres, the opposite of low profile in any sense. I had a set on my first car a Vauxhall Firenza in the early 80's, Remember spending ages with a small brush re whitening the letters. General Grabbers, they were the tyres of choice then, usually wrapped around Wolfrace slot alloy whe...
