  4. Alright dude! Had a look in the garage bit, looks well cool!
  5. Indeed old boy how did you manage to get it so it doesnt foul the backl when you open it? i tred it and it always snagged on the back when i opened it.
  6. Ahh! But i spot an aftermarket spoiler!!
  7. What a mad number plate! Looks cool
  8. Guys ,got a thread in the capri section, as i could do with knowing how much to sell me bits for thought id link it here as well as its a busy old room is this one. cheers ears http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=52431
  9. Worked on it for nearly a month to get it through the MOT, hundreds of pounds later later sorted, Drive it a week and the clutc is fooked! A spring dropped off the pedal the other night, drove to my house and stopped at a junction and couldnt get it into first what-so-ever! Friggin cars, feel like pushing it off Thurstaston cliffs
  10. Not going to Ford Fair unfortunately bit short on funds at the mo, next big event though im there, want to go to some SantPod weekends soon and do run what you brung for a laugh! May get the 2.0 in soon should be quite rapid with the 4 speed 1.6 box and diff. it handles so well now its a right surprise! I cant wait to feel it with lowered suspension and uprated shocks!!
  11. PASSED Had a big chat with the fella he's sound, He reckons i should get new rackrods and nuts though as he ones on it are a bit perished but he finally sorted it anyway - jobs a goodun! Drives brilliantly now with the bushes ball joints and tracking ( plus sounds awesome ) Woohoo! 12 months ticket, cost me a bit though
  12. Yeah they've tryed heating it, the fellas in idiot. Umming and arring when i went in, typical mechanic. I'm not gonna let a garage do any work for me again, i didnt really want to this time i just thought after doing all the work id get some 'professionals' to track it properly. So i give it to some goon who cant even remove a nut and is bound to be totting up the labour charge and hourly rate. Useless. Gave it to them at 9am yesterday, rushed about in the morning getting it ready and all they did yesterday were the emmisions Wish id just got my rulers out and done the trackin myself. Can he fail my exhuast if its too loud? is there anything in the MOT that governs loudness? He was grumbling when i went in before tht it was too loud Im not very happy with this garage
  13. Useless!! gave them the car 9am, just got a call, 4:20pm Garage --"Have you had the track rod eds off mate?" Me -- "Err, no, why?" Garage -- "Coz they're totally seized" Me -- "Have you tried using a pair of stilsons on the end and spanner on the nut?" Garage -- "No. I'll try that" What the fook?
  14. Hmmm... My fronts are some 'fuel saving' firestones and the two new (part worn) ones on the back are shit!! They are Goodyear GT80's damn cool name and the tyre on my original spare is actually a Goodyear GT70, thing is the tread is pants. They sound awesome round the corners but offer sod all grip, should be fun in the wet though
  15. You knew it was coming!
  16. Cheers fellas, still havent hear anythin yet fingers crossed!
  17. After doin all the bushes and ball joints, new tyres etc. its getting the tracking laser aligned and then the emmisions done (hopefully, it seems to be burning more oil than it did last week need to get the new engine in really) Problem is, the other day i had the 'great' idea to chop my bodged up backbox off and replace it with some ally scaffold bar from my mates work. Problem is he didnt get it to me till 10pm last night, car booked in 9am this mornin. So there i am last night with a full length scaffold bar and an angle grinder, cut it down and bodged it on but coz he didnt have time to make the bends it fouled the rear valance, had to use the end of the bar with the claw to grasp the pipe and stick the other end of the pipe over the original mount . Probably gonna fail, we'll see. After all this work it'd be annoying to fail on something stupid that ive done!
  18. Yeah i know it was a right pain, hopefully not gonna have to do it again for a while!!! I really wanna get a -2 drop on the go when funds allow!
  19. Not really got the same edge has he?
  20. Right that settles it, thats what i thought!
  21. Maybe you could make him a friend instead of a sibling and get different nodding dude?
  22. Should he sit looking into the car or out of the window?? Its a tough one i know...
  23. Whatever the method is, do it! I'd love to see a sibling for Wesley
