Sweet, tidy Escort, love it

Awesome car, love it

Looks a good stand, loving the Anglia with Turbovecs & the Mk1 supercharged Capri. Weather was typical British wetaher,hope nobody got caught out in the rain

Woah that's a bit green! Loving that, & much cooler than a Focus RS (I don't want to debate on sound, but 2.9s with decent exhausts sound awesome!) Top motor

Can't believe I haven't updated this thread for so long, so here goes. Last 6 months since Jan have been pretty hectic, my financial situation has changed for the worse so I have been trying to get on top of that. The Capri took a battering over the winter being outside & is looking a little worse for wear, so need to get a few rust issues sorted. I was able to source a front wing (made by Hadrian) & pattern part front bumper off Ebay for a good price, so need to get this fitted & sprayed at some point: The front bumper needed holes drilled for the overriders so I removed my original bumper to accurately measure the holes & drilled them out, overriders now fit perfectly: I've also got some other bits to fit, door rubbers, rear bumper quarter etc: The car had been running fine over the winter but problems were creeping in. I went to Wheels Day & on the dual carriageway the back end started whining badly. I struggled through the day but it was awful. After thinking it may be suspected gearbox gremlins (I had issues last year) I took it to Old Ford Autos who diagnosed it as worn axle bearings. As finances are tight I have had the bearings replaced but it still whines as the crown wheel teeth have worn down in the process. The cause may have been a leaking diff cover that Old Ford Autos discovered was a bodged repair on the diff cover, so I have had to buy a new cover & gasket off CCI. So now I have it back, & it is as fun as ever, plus it passed the MOT with only a couple of advisories. Hoping to get some more stuff done this year

Spot on motor, love it.

Very different, something you don't see everyday. Look's cool in an 80's retro way (which I like!)

Love watching your videos. Damn fine driving & BDH sounds awesome

Nice pics there, including a cheeky couple of me & my mate Calvin leaving the show in our Capris . Can't believe I missed so many cars out

Ah that was you. Me & my mates were chatting to you for a while about your car (we were the Surrey Capri Club & were parked on the hill). Good to chat, hope you can make it down to the Fairmile for our meet - 2nd Tuesday of every month

My pics from Wheels Day

Great pics Jay. There were so many cars there & with me chatting to my mates I didn't take half the pictures I wanted to. That was my first time there & the weather was glorious. Damn good show

Smart looking 4 door. Love it

Good looking Capri

Nice car, very nice colour too

Some pics from last weekend, courtesy of my co-chairman Calvin

Something a little different, must be fun to drive with the roof down

Great meet today peeps, good turnout despite the early start to the show season. Lots of lovely motors, some I've never seen before, & some regulars. Roll on summertime!

Now THAT'S a 10-second car! Proper fast & proper old skool

Don't know but I'd say that ws pretty quick!

We need more Capris down there! Few of the SCC crowd will be turning up

Nice bit of work went into that, top job, looks good

Sorry to hear that. He obviously loved his OSFs

Clean, simple, sorted. Another top Escort
