Capripete

I got one, it was useless. I found it easier to take the whole door off to do the job...

Brilliant little cars! Old skool. Lots of fun. Plus they're still affordable and insurable!

Yup, you can only use your no claims on one policy/car.

I've got a set of 7x13 Compomotive five spoke alloys, marked up as MS1370 i think. All straight, just need a good polish up. Several people have said they're quite rare, is this true? Anyone have an idea of what they're worth? They have good 205/60's on.

Thanks chaps, just gotta cross my fingers nothing else is wrong. Going in at ten tomorrow!

Are reversing lights part of the MOT? Mines due monday and the reverse light is knackered.. Its an 83 fiesta by the way. Thanks all.

I'm not going to be able to do this now, due to not having a working osf on the road. Pass my space onto the first person on the reserve list if there is one still!

Went along today to speak to their mechanic, and basically he told me what i told them when i took it in, it's rumbling! They havent even taken the cover off to look at it. He said that because i had the diff as crownwheel and pinion it was too specialized a job for them. I'm going to pick it up on monday and i'll get it home and have a look at whats actually gone. Thanks for the replies chaps!

How hard is it to change a diff on an atlas axle? I've fubarred mine, and my garage told me to get a second hand one which they'd fit. I got one from Escort tec and now they're saying they can't do the job because it's too hard and requires shimming? Anyone shed any light?

Big thanks to Johnny and Posse for sorting out my place!!

Miserable gits wouldn't let me even join! Apparently i wasn't suitable to join!

FIX HER!!!!!!!!!!!

Supercharged pinto!

Sell it to me, you won't have to worry then....

I've been doing class 2 for a while, and had to take a load of building materials to a drop on Oxford Street! What a mare that is, all the side streets are one way and pretty much too small for trucks. Never again!

Is it me or does the tunnel look twisted in the third pic?

Clean or renew plugs, check timings ok and take it for a good long run to get it nice and warm and blow the crap out! Always worked for me!

You'll find out why they're so cheap if you drive it hard, mine were fading and smoking after a quick run! Took em straight off and got some mintex. Much better!

One of the capri's!

Looks like a mongrel cross of a puma, ka and focus. Yuk!

I'm pretty sure the maroon capri in the background was a laser. Weren't out till 83/84. Oops.

Damn! I'm cheating, i've taken the front bumper off the fezz.

Hmmm, bout 65 in my boggo 1.1 fiesta, has't been serviced for ages and has extra weight in the form of rubbish behind the seats and plates welded to the sills by the mot man! Bruum bruuum!

My landlord had two back in the early 90's, one white and one black. Both were stolen and burnt out!
