I managed 130 miles on my last tank..... and thats the most ive had form it! i usually work out how much im getting every so often. its usually 12 mpg!!!! but thats what you get for having a Ric Wood engine!!! its well worth it!!!

its a tricky one mate. i got mine stripped and repainted nearly 3 years ago now and a few things are starting to show. Alas, i cant keep it under cover so that hasnt helped i guess. But i hoped it would of been "pristine" for longer. Now it sounds like you have done the right thing but im no expert on panel prep. Could u get it stripped and dipped? that should get everything!!!

I agree with all the points made so far. i have spent a HIDEOUS amount of money on my Capri and i could spend 10k right now on it without struggling! But you dont have to get giddy, but if u do its a horrible feeling when something else goes wrong - even worse when the thing that goes wrong is something you think you have just fixed! however........ i do get an idiot grin on my face when im walking to it in a car park, knowing (with no doubt) its the coolest thing parked there. That people will stop and stare as it rolls down the street and that its me who gets to do it!

Aurora - no idea why!!!

Hello all if anybody is interested i have a set of 7j's and a set of x pack 7.5js. think they are all 1979's. original - not copies! all nice and clean and painted silver - look just like the ones fiesta steve has shown pics of. and both sets will have centres! PM me with your email and i will send pics, they are at work so prob not till mon/tues though! Dave

Just got the S moving again after being stood for 3 months! and i fixed the locks! all in all im rather pleased with myself!

cleaner the better on a capri in my humble opinion - not my cup of tea, prefere it before

Hi mate i know the pic your talking about in CF! I saw it and wanted it! it looks awesome! Like peple have mentioned already you dont need to change the look of your Ghia - they look pimp already! !

poor sod

Hi Ken No worries mate - its not urgent. not driven much at all this year mate. Combination of me doing not much else but work and the rain! not too bothered about taking it out in it - just my ability to handle it! Ha! ive got a quite a few little jobs i need to do on it. Have you considered doing a Mk1 capri mate? Dave

Hi Ken Hope you and the family are well. Dont need a full respray mate, but could do with some bits sorting. Got a bit of rust on the bottom of my doors, roof could do with touching up too. Would you be interested? Dave

That Challenger is amazing!

Looking at that makes me feel sad

i use mine most days - but i couldnt afford it if i lived too far from work (bout 4 miles at mo). i only get 12 to the gallon its an ace 12 miles though!

Awesom!
