The bumper and grille might be just placed on, but it sure is good to see the Capri back with a face once again! Didn't think I would, but the chrome is massively growing on me.... might not do the bumpers black after all. Also Chizfab sorted out some ridiculous lock courtesy of a BMW E36 rack and custom strut brackets. The Rally Design compression strut kit had to be redesigned to accommodate the lock.... No trade secrets here! All out in the open.... Back end is almost complete now.... Just some last cage extensions, then the fuel system needs to be accommodated for... Want to get in and go skid! Also looking for a pair of 200SX T25 turbos if anyone has any?

Turbo seals failed on the M6 the other day! Annoyingly has about £90 worth of diesel in it too......
£650 for a quick sale, or I may just get it fixed and re-advertise at a grand again!

I've often tried to think of what to do with one of these, as they're great cars hidden under a stupid face...

Do you know if it needing anything for its next MOT as I would be looked on less than favorable if I got something else needing work Do all the windows work? Common problem I believe. Also Could I see more pics too. Thanks, John. Can't think that it'll need anything. Windows all work real nice and fast! Will get some pix when I get the chance....

I'm in Wishaw, (almost halfway between both) so I could nip through. Yeah, can get extra pix when back home at the start of the week. I've not been under it, but as above I've been told its really solid.

In Classic Ford a couple of months ago there was a Fiesta Supersport that looked standard externally, but had a RWD conversion. These are the only pics I could find of it though, and they don't give a lot away... I've got lots more Can look out later....

There's some seriously wrong people out there with too much time and misguided imagination...
Suppose the could be serial killers instead, so maybe not all that bad if it keeps them occupied?

That's awesome! I was expecting to see a 'Trigger's Broom' restoration after the rescue, but that's far cooler ;D

these things are so ugly its funny. agreed about the paint btw, just don't go overboard on "ratlook" style stickers and effects. natural look is far better imo Ugly is the 206 behind it. Maestros are really well styled in my opinion.... Probably also helps quite a lot that 99% of modern cars are hideous blobs though, making most things from the 20th century look a whole lot better in comparison!

Edit - SOLD ;D ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is my first venture into 4x4 ownership, and I've liked it.... but I'm now going to buy what I originally wanted, a V8 Range Rover, so the Disco is up for sale. I've owned it since October, and it's been great. My girlfriend currently uses it daily with no problems. The only thing it has needed recently was a clutch slave cylinder, and this was replaced along with a full fluid change at a local specialist. They also commented on how solid it was underneath and offered to take it as a trade in, (I would, but they don't currently have anything that takes my fancy!). Good honest 2.5TD engine, with no undue smoke or noises. 124k Good economy. Had a recent full coolant flush and refill, plus a new thermostat for winter. Interior is original and in good condition Substantial Land Rover fitted rubber mats front, rear and in the boot. 7 seats as standard Load cover Brand new spare tyre with later model wheel cover. MOT - April 5th, 2012 Tax - June 30th, 2012 Only downsides are cosmetic. Some denting on the rear quarter panel from the previous owner reversing into something, and some general age related bits & pieces. Overall a good presentable workhorse with plenty life left in it for only £1000! Will consider swaps and part exchanges.... I'm after a Range Rover, but always can be tempted by other interesting stuff too if in good shape! Call Ade on: 07779 695 234 or breaking@abcarpix.com

Don't really want to sell this, but as I fancy a Range Rover (and I've run out of space on my Classic policy for more cars), the T5 is up for sale. I've used this lots over the past year, its taken me up and down the UK many times, all over Europe on two trips and been thoroughly reliable. I bought it for £1000 and probably spent over £2000 on it in maintenance and modifications! I need my cars to be dependable over lots of miles, and as I've got a taste for old performance cars this bizarre situation is the norm for me.... Plus so is this bit; flogging the car at a big loss as I fancy something else! Just £600 takes it away! MOT - October 26th, 2012 Tax - March 31st, 2012 You won't find another manual one of these at this price that's had so much spent on it in the past year! It's had tons over the past year, I'm not one for keeping track or storing receipts but here's what I remember.... No oil leaks! T5s are bad for leaks and I paid to have a good few sorted on this. Rear calipers, discs and pads renewed. Front discs and EBC Yellowstuff pads Rica Remapped ECU - dyno print out for 250BHP/300lbft Uprated oil breather I had a towbar and electrics fitted (cost £200) All 3 engine mounts replaced with OE Volvo parts New drive belt New plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm G-Max -40mm springs Limo tint or rear windows, legal light smoke on the front (look patchy in the pictures, but just wet and totally fine in real life) Various bushes, both wishbones etc have been replaced. 4 wheel alignment. UK spec legal pressed plates PAS pump replaced. 2 large boost hoses renewed. Various vacuum hoses (one which required the inlet manifold to be removed and 3 hours garage labour!). Excellent 215/45-17 matching tyres (recent). Boost pipe has been modified to accept an atmospheric dump valve, and a Forge blanking plate has been fitted to remove the original recirculating valve. Currently running no valve, but I can supply a dump valve for free if you want one. As standard you get insanely comfy heated leather seats Quality stereo system with 6 disc CD changer Climate control 4 x Electric windows and electric heated mirrors Very strong 5 speed manual box with a good clutch. Totally solid rust free Volvo shell! Issues: BBS C70 split rims, but one lost a few bolts. So as not to take any chances I swapped this for another C70 alloy of identical size and offset. I can supply the faulty wheel as well. Sometimes stutters on full boost under heavy load. I suspect the ignition coil as the culprit, as it's the most likely part of the ignition system I haven't replaced. Drive normally though and you'd never experience this. Rear wiper motor got slower and slower until it stopped working. (Easily and cheaply fixed). I had a bump in the car early last year.... The wing was badly damaged (then replaced), plus the door has some cosmetic damage too. I sticker-bombed the wing instead of getting it painted. I like it, some won't! All damage was cosmetic, nothing either structural or suspension wise was touched. This and he odd wheels are pretty much the reason why I'm selling the car half price!

Just a shame that most insurers would write of the Cortina for that and fix the Fiesta!
