The Ford Capri Laser Page

At last it looks like we might have some good weather and I might attend my first show this weekend.

After about 6 months of storage the Capri was looking a bit dusty









After a wash, clay, dry and polish














Tomorrow I'll be getting the interior cleaned up, which fortunately won't be such a big job!

Hi Neil,
Looking stunning there! The hard work that you've put in has really worked wonders as the paintwork looks to have a wonderfully deep shine to it. Beautiful.

It's not the CCI Nationals is it......

Cheers Andrew. It was hard work the dust had eaten into the paint mixed with a bit of overspray where I've been painting stuff near the car over the winter.

Look forward to seeing your photo's of the CCI Nationals Andrew, but I don't think I'll throwing any more money their way

All the best
Neil

Looks great Neil

I presume you don't cover the car?

Enjoy Simply Ford if you go Sunday

Perhaps I should invest in some sort of breathable cover??

Been let down by a couple of mates that I was going to go with.... Thinking I might just go out for a long drive with a fresh tank of fuel, as its probably what the car needs after not having any use for so long. Maybe find a pub near Beaulieu and watch the Fords drive past

Indoor cover or some old bed sheets if it's garaged.

Have a good one tomorrow whatever you do.......I'm going to Haynes breakfast meet

Have a good day if you do decide to go. Let us know if it is worth the trip before we make a final decision on the August meet....

Weekend weather looks amazing, enjoy the shows guys. Neil, your car is gleaming & probably straining at the leash for a good blast, enjoy the drive

Cheers Rob.... Looking forward to a drive in it later, hopefully there won't be too much bank holiday traffic to hold me up
