My first Readers Ride thread.
Bought my Capri from another member on here who I believe bought it from another member. Went up to Shropshire to get it, three of us in my old 1972 Beetle. Long day that was.
The car is a Rosso Red 1.6 Laser, my first Capri after always wanting one. Was a pretty solid car having spent a while in a garage until it was brought back on the road.
It's had a new engine since I got it, a 2.0 instead of the 1.6 and a new diff after the old one went bang.

Nice car man, can't beat a red Capri. I've seen a couple of Mk1 Fiesta's with stickers in the same style writing on the back window before. Do you know who makes them?

It's not jinxed, it's just an old ford (Fix Or Repair Daily...) My Capri spends more time broken than working, but even on the back of a recovery truck it makes me grin like an idiot looking at it. Hope you get it fixed fairly swiftly!

Capris are such good retro daily drivers.
Can't wait to get mine in the road again next year hopefully.
Shame about the damage.

big commiserations on the bonnet, the scary bit is trying to slow down & pull over when you can't see b*gger-all!

That's a big bonnet to flip up on you! Glad no-one hurt, and metal can be fixed. I had a steering column snap on me in a Triumph 1500tc, now that car was jinxed....

Not much of an update but I got a new fibreglass bonnet and will hopefully have a new scuttle panel soon. Feels good to make some progress even if it does take a while. In other news I finally did my very first burnout. I've only had the Capri just over two years haha

Progress is slow due to life getting in the way and trying to find certain parts but drove down to Cornwall in the Mazdarati daily to pick up a good solid genuine front wing since mine have seen better days. Still after a scuttle panel but they're hard to come by. The mighty Mazda, makes a cracking daily driver/parts hauler just a little thirsty.

Went to a show earlier When it was decided to replace my really worn and noisy cam there and then purely for something to do. And now she's down at a mates yard for a while for some much needed attention. Hopefully won't be too long now that summers here!
