  6. yup! 70s custom we we's over this blasphemous shittification ,two different times ,the dont mix ! like the mona lisa ,with jordans chest,,,,,,,,, get the point?
  7. i love it! as a kid in physics i got my hands caned by my teacher for drawing a near copy of this! not cos he didnt like 70s custom ,just because he was an organ and it was physics. i bought a mk1 van as my first car,and as it took me a while to pass my test my dear father [a pig farmer ] thought it would be ideal to take two pigs to the abbatior in it!!! this very clearly rendered it useless as a passion wagon,you can get the pig out,but never the smell!!

  13. i would say i was a member of mk1 capri register,the mk1 capri owners club and though the clubs were very well run i just didnt find " i fitted in" its almost a old persons view of "their people" ,a bit elitist in their thinking Yet a young persons enjoyable ,fun,kind of thing is more, well this. im old but not at all elitist, and my mind set is more tail happy than tale happy. mike

  21. i went volvo 240 4 pots bit of calliper mod on mount holes, 2.8 vented discs very cheap and they just fitted under my lotus steels,with 8mm wheel spacers fitted to clear the rivets .though with all 13 alloys fit fine no spacer needed, stops well mike
  22. Vista how do you know all this stuff? swedish colour schemes? "Swedish cars had a yellow and blue option I think. I can't remember which way round the colours were arranged though" fancy not remembering the arrangement though! herb
  23. A really good program I think, my sisters watched it and being in their forties and ex escort drivers they all said that they had forgot the fun of owning one. They even said they envied me for still having one! that is something that I didn't expect, I should think it will push values up a bit, Also the "nickability" rating may increase as wannabee boy racers want to try them cheaply. It was refreshing that the priority of originality was kind of kept to, And the engine choice that most shy away from was made for the xflow. Its a way I think more resto's will go, mods are nice,dont get me wrong, I know power to pound ratio just doesn't make sense to most , when a good zetec is a £400 fit and run, and with mates help a pinto can be cheaper. I priced a X flow re-bore / decking / bigger valves and new guides with a crank grind and bearings , it came to £1200 without gaskets and assembly hours, that is staggering ! god knows what a fully built H.P.E. motor runs to!! no it was entertaining and a nice view of our passion ,maybe not to our own personal view, but fun family viewing.
