The Ford Capri Laser Page

Nope, not me. I thought it was a long shot! How much of a project is your Capri, is it far off completion? It's always a treat to see and hear a V8 conversion, and if you can convince your mate with the Escort X-pack to come, even better! :D I'm guessing that a trip to Beaulieu next weekend is out ...

You know it's worth it though!

Maybe we should see if we can get a few people together to head down there (if it hasn't already been done). Be great to put a face to the names of people on here. Hi Dave, I'm definitely up for a meet, it would be great if something could be organised. Depending on work shifts etc, Rob (Freelander...

no sexy stainless allowed :(. Hi Toby, I don't blame you. Personally, I'm not really a fan of the stainless, but thought I'd mention it in case you were. I've never heard of the gravel thing before, I might give it a go myself to try it. I can't see the dishwasher idea being too popular, and is pro...

It's great that she still gets great pleasure from going out in the Capri. My mother, and especially my Father, enjoy the occasional trip as passengers in mine. Although I don't bundle them in! Taking the Capri makes the most mundane routine trip into a delightful experience.
All the best,
Andrew.

This time of year is great. So exciting to start seeing all the great classics coming out of their winter hibernation!

Hi Damajin,
If you're in Bristol, do you ever go down to see the cars in Queen square? Great selection of classics being used there.

You know, Steve, you must be a mind reader as I was just thinking how easily A & D would be recognised for the pair of gonads that they are!

Hi Steve,
Poor Makka Pakka. He should sack his stylist if he's being mistaken in the street for a pair of truck nuts!

I have to ask, is it wise to tie a flammable cuddly toy to a hot exhaust? I'm not so sure...

Hi Dan, Great photos, thanks for posting. These little local shows are great for seeing what classics there are around. There's usually a surprise or two when locals arrive in cars that you've never spotted around the place. That looks like a stunning 2.8 in nimbus grey/strato silver in your photo. ...

Hi Dan, The bullet connector should be a snug fit on the sender connectors, try some blue ones. The squeaking suspension might just be a dry bush. Try spraying some WD40 around the area of rubber bushes. The clunking noise when the handbrake is applied should be checked out. Maybe there is smething ...

Hi Toby,
Try Martin, see if he's got anything.
If you like bling and aren't that worried about originality there's a comany called Mirage that makes stainless steel washer/coolant reservoirs.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Rich (and Terry!),
Yep, a really nice Capri, I'm sure it'll provide loads of smiles and fun drives.
I suppose the name makes sense! Though I've never heard of Terry Crews, I had to Google him.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi,
Nice tidy motor you've got there, more photos are needed! Do I understand the title of the thread correctly? You've named the car Terry Cruise?

Andrew.

Being abit inexperienced an no 4 star Hi, As ridiculous as it sounds in this day and age, it is still possible to buy leaded petrol from selected garages in the UK. If you want to use leaded check out this list, there may be a garage close to you. Maybe fill up every so often with leaded to maintai...

I've also noticed a cup of drops of oil have appeared since Sunday, half way along under car from prop shaft?? Again hopefully it's nothing to serious?? Hi, That could be the rear gearbox seal. Shouldn't be too expensive for your mechanic to fix. Hopefully the car will soon be given the all-clear a...

Can't argue with that!

Hi,
Your car looks stunning, it's a credit to you. Personally, I like pepperpots, but you'll probably upset the purists by putting a set on an S! But who cares what the purists say?

Keep up the good work,
Andrew.

Only one on Hitler's KDF wagen....

Hi,
Looks like a beautiful car from the photos. I hope the seller gave the old boy a fair price for it.

Andrew.

On another note I still cant see the "donate" link anymore. If it costs a bit to keep this forum going then I am more than happy to give a donation every so often to help out :) Hi, :agree: Where has that link to donate gone? I feel terrible as I only made a modest donation because I inte...
