thanks for the offers guys, thankfully i've managed to sort my brake line over the weekend but i still need to de-cack my brake carriers... i'm 'in' with God, so could probably get you into heaven! half an hour with a grit blaster is all i need now...
Hi guys
long story short i need to borrow a brake pipe flaring tool and get my rear brake backing plates cleaned so i can get my capri reassemled. i have 3.60 to my name until i get paid at the end of the month so i could really do with a favour from a fellow old-skooler...
my needs? access to a grit blaster and use of a flaring tool!
Anyone who can lend a hand (or equipment!) i can repay with body repair/welding/mechanical skills or with beer tokens when i'm better off! could do with this help ASAP because my lift to work goes to poland for a month and i have 30 miles between me and my work and i'm without a car!
i'm in NG2 nottingham, if you want to go to heaven - call 07960 158 667!!!
thanks!!
tom
warmest of welcomes! yep, that sounds like one hell of a granada! 351 windsor i presume...? get it in readers rides dude, mk1's are few and far between. sounds like it could be an inspiration..
slipknot, stone sour, korn, metallica, pantera, lamb of god, system of a down, opeth, chimera, kyuss, slo burn, the sword, rage against the machine, cky, megadeth, and my favourite band atm - tool.
this is a perfect opportunity to justify a uber cool retro barge. have you all missed the point?

^^^agreed, if the doris recognises the kid and his mates then revenge shouldn't be too hard! certainly easier than prosecution. though i totally understand if you want them arrested, i would want blood and can imagine im not the only one either...
is there any possibility of saving the shell or does a fire like this destroy it beyond reuse?
sorry for your loss dude, i would have cried.
bunch of c**ts. most likely not a real gun as you can get replica air pistols from the manufacture of the real counterparts like walthers, desert eagles, colts, S&W and magnums etc. they're perfectly legal although not in public obviously. i sure hope you can identify them tomorrow, take a scaffold pole and follow him
i see... thanks for the heads up! i thought it would be a smart move to ask on here, after looking around the ford dealers i googled them to get some reviews and all it turned up was a bunch of bleeting daily mail readers whining about labour cost from a main dealers...
obviously i'm looking around for an OSF but theres not a lot of choice nearby. really, i'd rather avoid taking on debt for a new (gay plastic generic) econo-box and spend my hard earned on the capri as i'm sure you all would understand
won't be going back to the ford dealers i don't think...
i want a MK1 fiesta but my dad refuses to help me out if i want another OSF, he insists on mediocrity. *sighs*
anyway thankyou all for your help, much appreciated! especially you Squadge
hi all, recently i've been offered an apprenticeship with a crash repair company which is 33 miles away and i need to sort out a dependable daily drive for the next 2-3 years. i've been looking at 55 onwards fiestas from my local ford dealers and wondered if any of you lovely oldskoolers would like to share your experiences with me?
any advice, things to look for, common faults, what they're like to live with - that sort of thing, would be greatly appreciated!
i'm looking at 1.25 petrol or preferably 1.4 tdci engines although i'd read that they're known for needing injector seals around the 35k mark?
like i say, any info greatly appreciated!
as a professional slack-arse, i can tell you that avoiding getting behind with essays and assignments should be your top priority! its like trying to run up the 'travelator' on gladiators if you get behind!
