Re: my 280
The ladders are a RS option for the transit but i thought it could be used on the Capri as well as they do share some parts anyway. lol
OH yes Alan I have to get the OK from Cape canaveral before I take off.

Re: my 280
Stunning mate, really nice. The headrests; never seen those before, is that something you have done yourself or was this an option?
Nice car though, LOL at the ladders!

Re: my 280
Hi Stuart No the fishnets are from a 3.0s that are black, I redyed them using the brooklands recolouring kit, they are a bit darker than the seats but as I just got some seats out a very low mile car that are mint and I dont want to colour them to match the head rests as they have never been recoloured, I just did it to make it look different from other "cabbages"

Re: my 280
I like those headrests I really do, totally different! your car looks low too, lowered? Maybe its just the splitter on the front. Looks good though. I think I have seen your car on the Members pages of the Dr Brooklands website. I try to go on there as little as possible though as drewling over a keyboard is not the done thing! What mileage you on?

Re: my 280
"honey" has just turned 86k, Chris that owned her before me works as a parts manager for ford so could source parts for her, A fair few things have been replaced with new genny ford parts eg bumpers all corners, overiders, lights,handles, ect (except wings), All the silly things that look tatty with age, he fitted new rear springs that he had decambered by 1" and new discs/calipers just before I bought it from him in 2006, since then I have just been finishing off the bits he did not get around to like the better seats and some interior bits and a few more RS bits.
