  1. Cobra did the Supaslots, Wolfrace had squarer slots, I've got some of each. Used to have them on my old Capri's
  2. Nice........ But, rear towing eye on a 1979 car? I've got one on mine as I replaced a lot of rotten metal & it was handy to keep at the time
  3. I built 2 Soft top Capri's years ago, I wanted them to still look like Capri's with the roofs up. Think I succeeded. Hope the links work, long time since I used photobucket
  4. I asked about having a washer bottle & rad catch tank made in ally for my Capri 3.0S & was quoted £600, so I had a go myself & got a local welder to weld them for me,
  5. Sorry to hear this, I met Tony a few times, My thoughts go out to his family
  6. I used my 12 ton hydraulic pipe bender to do mine, I did a little bit at a time & worked along the springs until I was happy with the result, It took me about an hour, I was told that if you heat them, they have to be retempered to get the spring rating back
  7. I've got a Micromark system from Homebase above my garage door, It is hooked up to a portable 14" TV & VCR so if anyone comes within 6ft of the door, it records for 30 seconds, this can be altered but I find it enough, It is black & white so can also be seen at night, The camera always shows a picture even when not recording, The problem you may have will be if the car is on the road, there will be a lot of movement near it causing lots of video tape to scan, Micromark have a website, Hope this helps, Pete
  8. I've owned my 3.0S Capri TUF 30S for 21 years & have put 45k on it, It used to be my everyday car but it kept picking up parking dings so it now gets used at weekends
  9. Try Castrols website, They still list 20w/50 @ £17.99 gallon or 25 ltr @ £78.95 Orders over £30 free delivery
  10. An old boy round the corner from me decided that everybody was speeding on the main road outside his house so he made a 30mph board & spent 8 hours a day walking along the road waving it at people, eventually the police told him to stop or he'd be arrested for breach of the peace, He then campaigned for speed bumps, when I told him that the bumps would not work & that my Capri would have trouble getting over them, he said that "unfortunately you're in a minority & would have to suffer", He got his way, We got cushions, I have to wait for gaps so I can drive in the middle of the road, He moans that the cushions don't slow people down, He also said that 4x4's shouldn't be used on urban roads so I bought a Shogun LWB complete with bull bar ( He moaned about that so I decided to leave it on ) & now has a Superwinch on it. He's now taken up Bowls
  11. Ronal made the 7x13 but ATS made the 7 1/2x13. ATS is cast on the back of the wheel. Although I pictured the ATS marking when I sold mine, I had about 10 questions from buyers telling me I was wrong
