Ok, time for an update. Since the Granada has gone I wanted to start on the Capri and progress it further. The steel wheels are off and with my engineer for banding and currently it's sitting on a mixture of Wellers and RS 4 spokes. First up I decided it really needed a Cambelt as I've never fitted one to it and it's better to be safe than sorry. I wouldn't normally drop the coolant out for this job but it was pretty much rusty water. This gave me the opportunity to remove the radiator and it's in pretty good shape but would benefit from a fresh coat of paint. Removed the Cambelt cover and it was quite battered! This would benefit from a blasting and costing me thinks! The timing belt on the car wasn't actually in too bad of a condition and the bearing in the tensioner was only slightly worn. Having said that I still chucked a new belt and tensioner on. I also changed the dizzy cap and rotor arm. Surprisingly it's still on points and condenser, I may well electronic ignition swap this setup. The HT leads look quite new but I may get a new set in the future. I turned my attention back to the radiator and after a good rub down. I gave it a coat of grey primer then finally a good coating of gloss black. I'm quite happy with the results. I fitted the rad back in to the car. The Cambelt cover and radiator plate need blasting and coating so they'll go back on later. Next up I've decided to modify the suspension on the Capri, I want to go a bit lower than I normally would on my projects so I've decided to modify the front legs to coilovers. I managed to source a complete spare pair of Pinto front legs rather than immobilise the car. I then stripped them down fully in preparation for modifying. The ones with pink tags are from the drivers side so that I can remember which ones go with what! Thank you all for looking and all comments welcomed and appreciated.

Ok another update again today on the Maestro. First job was to adjust the tappets. I quickly removed the rocker box cover and all appears well. According to my technical data under the bonnet courtesy of British Telecom, the valve clearances should be 0.35mm cold. A couple were loose and two were actually over tightened. I also noticed that the rocker arms are quite well worn and recessed from the valve. I gave the rocker box a good clean and polish and it came up quite nice and original again. I refitted the rocker box cover and gave the engine a run. There was a noticeable difference, it ran much quieter so I was pleased. However I then heard another noise which sounded a lot like the exhaust manifold blowing, sure enough the exhaust manifold was blowing from number 1 end. I had a quick look at the job and decided that it wasn't too big of a job. I wanted to flush the coolant anyway so now seemed a good time. I started the strip down. The inlet manifold and SU carb came off nicely. I removed the SU from the inlet as whilst it's off I may as well give it a clean and overhaul. However I then found another problem, a bit like the cooling system on my Fiat 126 the waterways had corroded. These will need repairing as well. Back to the exhaust manifold, they all came undone nicely except for one. However, a nut snapped in the exhaust that houses a support bracket which joins the inlet to the exhaust manifold. Yet another job that needs doing, since the manifold would not separate from the downpipe I needed to drill this bolt out in situ. There simply wasn't enough room between the exhaust manifold and radiator. Therefore I removed the front panel and radiator. This now gave me clear access to the broken bolt. I drilled out the stud, but an extractor wouldn't shift it. Therefore I oversized the hole to 7mm with the intention of rethreading it to M8. Finally worked the last exhaust manifold stud out of the head and removed the manifold forward out of the way. When I removed the old gasket it was clear as to where the blowing was coming from. Whilst I was in that area my eye was drawn towards the mechanical fuel pump and all the crud and curse word around it. The gasket was blown and oil had been leaking out of it for a long time. I also noticed these fuel lines thankfully. Fuel pump off and ready for a clean and replacement gaskets. The area in question and you can see all the thick dirt and grease around the block itself. That's all for now but for every job I do I seem to find another area that needs attention! As usual, thanks for looking and all comments welcomed.

marinanut - I did notice they are Japanese spec size. You've got some skills and love to restore that Ital estate. It looks great. alexhatcher - I love how the wheels look on yours mate, but you've beaten me to that look. I'll have to find my own Time for an update on the Maestro, my new master cylinder had arrived so I fitted it up to the freshly restored servo and also my newly cleaned reservoir bottle. I mounted the assembly back in under the bonnet to the bulkhead. Bleeding was quite difficult when I expected it to be quite the opposite. I think there was a large build up of air in the load sensing valve. In the end I used a mixture of power bleeding and foot pumping which cleared the valve out and I got a great solid pedal again. I decided to strip down, clean and adjust the rear brakes. They're in great condition. Next up was a general service job, I dropped the old oil out and removed the filter. (You can see it missing in the pic below) gave it some fresh 20w50 mineral oil (2.7L thanks to the BT service specs under the bonnet) I fitted a new distributor cap and rotor arm, the cap was really crusty so was worth replacing. I also removed the air filter housing in preparation for the next tasks to be carried out. Hopefully some more updates to follow soon, thanks for looking.

marinanut - That's one way of looking at it yes.
alexhatcher - Thanks pal, I've been watching yours. Love the direction you've taken yours. Really suits it. Am I right in thinking that the Maestro vans are unique in having 4 x 114.3 which is different to the car? I've taken inspiration from your thread about the VW golf Mk2 coilovers.
darrenh - I hear you loud and clear, I have my suspicions that the dodgy fitted windscreen is suspect.

marinanut - See the below update, you might change your mind! grifterkid - Thanks fella I know I can always count on you. Stick a note through the door and see what happens lol! Ok time for an update on the van now that I'm on a roll. Firstly I rubbed down the servo ready for painting. Then after a few coats of primer and a couple of coats of gloss black it was starting to look ready the new master cylinder. I feel better about fitting it back on the van now with a nice new master cylinder. When I was removing the servo originally I couldn't help but notice I was getting rather wet from the soggy floor! I decided to investigate this further, immediately regretting I had. First up I removed the plastics floor lining. This will clean up nicely. The sound deadening was completely sodden. I binned the sound deadening as it stank! I'll replace it. Much sponging to be done from the pools of water on the floor. Then I found a lovely little modification to the driver footwell. I noticed a metal plate lying on the floor that I'd found under the soggy sound proof. When I picked it up I was amused to find that on the other side it had loads of butyl sealant squashed up against the floor covering the rotten great hole. Dug around at the hole a bit more, not too bad and only gone due to the seem of the welds and I should imagine quite common. I'll get this repaired up. Thanks for looking and hopefully more updates to follow.

marinanut - I didn't know it was on C&C. Couldn't you have just told her you'd sorted out her wedding transportation! I'd love an Ital or Marina van, good luck finding one though! mercdan68 - I can imagine them being fairly fragile, mine definitely needs the valve clearances adjusting as it's a bit loud. I've heard gearboxes are weak spots? So time for an update on the Maestro van! When I bought him I was made aware that a problem had developed with the brakes. Basically the pedal went to the floor as though you were bleeding the system. At the very end of the pedal travel it would apply the brakes though. This was very strange considering none of the fluid was missing and it wasn't leaking out anywhere. So first job was to get him up on stands and give it a bleed. Turns out I'm only getting air out of one of the lines from the dual system from the 'Easy Bleed'. This lead me back to the master cylinder as the other circuit would bleed nicely. So I decided to strip down the master cylinder. Once the cylinder was removed the servo was looking like this. This simply won't do and will need restoring. Unbolted the servo and removed the linkage from the brake pedal. On inspection the fluid hasn't broken through to the inside of the servo so I'll rub this down fully and repaint it. It'll go again. The master cylinder now got the strip down treatment. I stripped it down and found that the secondary piston was at fault, the seal wasn't holding so a new master cylinder has been ordered. The new cylinder doesn't come with a new reservoir so I gave the old one a thorough clean and degrease ready for the new cylinder. The new cylinder won't be here till next week so I had to leave it for now. Was quite pleased to find this under the bonnet. A nice little feature of the old fleet workshops I'm guessing? Gives me some help when it comes to servicing. Nice little touch. Thanks for looking and all comments welcomed.

br00klyn99 - Thank you buddy, comments like that well appreciated. Time for an update again on the BIS. I finished off the repairs on both the sills. I'm quite happy with the end result, to try and achieve the OEM underseal look I let the stonechip dry till tacky, then dabbed it with a sponge. Now cast your memory back to the early part of this thread, to a job I've been putting off for some reason. The chips in the top of the door. To begin I rubbed the area down. After a good coating of filler primer, I then applied several thin coats of Fiat Blanco Corfu to build up the colour. Once cured and happy with the end result I gave a few coats of lacquer and removed the masking tape. I also fitted the drivers side door card and furniture. Really happy with how it turned out in the end, not much left to do on the little BIS. Thanks for looking.

mt796 - As requested here is an update for you. bmwv8capri - Thanks pal, I always appreciate recognition to my attention to detail. I hear you about the gearstick, I'm 6'4" so I'm guessing you're also tall? Not had a chance to drive this on the road yet but I'll certainly heed your warning! So time for an update on the little BIS. The dust sheets were removed and he was wheeled out from the corner to do some work on him. First up, I fitted my newly trimmed door cards to the passenger door. You may remember I had the interior retrimmed. I really liked the original material but it was clearly cheap and not made to last. I hope my choice will stand the test of time. Door card fitted. Also here is a little comparison next to the seat to show you the match. Next up it was time to get the welder out. You may remember I had the matching rot in both sides of the outer sill. It's obviously a common place for these to go as both sides had already been badly plated. So I made a couple of plates up from some sheet to fill both sides. I then shaped it in to position to make sure it fitted well with a joggled top edge. My welds aren't brilliant as I'm a complete amateur, so I've taken a pic after it was welded and ground flat! I then got the filler out! I then flatted down the filler, it was always going to go back to textured stone chip so I didn't go too detailed on the sanding. Just got it smooth and levelled out. Next up I applied the white stone chip to the panels, to achieve the textured rough effect like the rest of the sill I dabbed it gently with a sponge to achieve the similar desired result. I was quite happy with it in the end. It does need another dust over with the stone chip once it's dried just to get rid of the dark parts. It takes a few hours to dry so he was pushed back in to the corner to dry. As usual though. Thanks for looking and all comments welcomed and appreciated.

br00klyn99 - Thanks pal.
bmcnut - Hoping not to disappoint you fella, there will be some height and width adjustment to come.
darrenh - Now that is supercool!! Mk1 or Mk2 Bedford Astravan? My old man was a BT engineer of the era and I had Busby stickers and other stuff. That brings back some memories.
grifterkid - Thanks pal, needs to go back to BT livery really doesn't it. Hope you enjoy watching the progress.

darrenh - I couldn't agree more, period fleet vehicles are very cool. What sort of van is the Hotpoint van out of interest? SmokeEm - Thanks for the bookmark, hope not to disappoint. mexicansteve - Thanks pal, not spent long in those seats yet but I know what you mean about looking comfy. I like the fact they're not cloth and are vinyl. Reserve judgement about the wheels and suspension, I never go super low or super wide. I just like to go OEM+ as opposed to 'Scene'. simes - I hate to be an anorak, but it's not a class 55 'Deltic'. It's a class 45 'Peak'

Thanks all, shieldy68 - Yes I think I'd like the idea of putting it back to BT. It's a real appeal to me. astranaut - You've just made me all nostalgic mate, my uncle has a farm in Lancashire and he taught me to drive in a field in the old VW Caddy pickup that lived on the farm. Had done many a handbrake turn by 11. He wasn't happy when I dented the sump on a tree stump! cavboy80 - Thanks mate. I'd love to do an AA replica but I think that would be the hardest to replicate with all the equipment etc. I like the idea of going back to BT as that what it was originally. I love the old commercial liveries. mk2polobloke - Mate I'm bordering on having an addiction I reckon! I don't have a mortgage, a wife or children! That's the only way I can have them all I knew about the damage in the previous post but I haven't had a good proper look in to the van but you can be sure all the updates will be on here.
