Pattern seat covers and replacement stock colour scheme cards are available from Aldridge Trimmers in Wolverhampton at about £100-£150 a panel . Not sure what the trim code for green 'flake was though ? ;)
Yep 'freak' as in cheap, $535 for all of it, not including material which I bought for $15.99 a yard. I considered the boards above but the shipping woulda killed me, plus I didn't want 'em stock anyway. Unfortunately the vacuumed foil line couldn't be replicated but that's OK.Quote:

i seem to remeber a real nice classic capri called rasberry tart. does it still survive?
Photo already in this thread, look for posts by Fatrod ( Chris ) as it was his old car.
Found these in hot car november 76,i know the 2nd ones already been on the thread but here it is again, it was featured in an early hot car & owned by derek thornley & was christened the sunset flyer, the blue one was ray parkers & took the best custom award at the show being featured in the hot car mag which was the first hot car cruise in at thruxton.
Aahhhhh the 70s!!
wonder if 355 uyb suvives. i remeber it bein a real good sound car all those years back, though i woodlnt want it painted like that nowadays;)
Sunset flyer was recently found in a lockup by a friend of mine. Knackered I think. Don't know if he left it there or not!
hey lee, is it for sale? if its not to roten i mite be up for it. im based in kent so is it far away?Quote:

Is the Capri Steve Gingell's? The Classic belongs to Robford on here, had a chat with him at Wheels Day.
i think the blue and flamed one was at avon park last year
Charlie Stirling now owns the flamed one, he bought it last year off builder and owner since 1977 Steve Anderson from bournemouth. 460ci big block powered and runs 12.2 @ 112 for now;)
Charlie races it at York raceway as well as the Nostalgia's and HRD's.

It is (or was) up in Derbyshire so probably too far for you anyway.
cheers lee ill keep me fingers crossed its stil avalible
This has been listed for a couple of weeks on a classic car website. It's in Devon. Look familiar to anyone?
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C98286/
I remember a blue one with graphics that looked similar.
My friend Ray Brandon who used to run the owners club has just acquired this yellow pick up with roll cage in foreground.
http://www.nsra.org.uk/newforum/atta...7&d=1238029640
I was just going to mention Ray Brandon's name. I remember that he always drove Classics and Capris and tended to have about three at a time.
He's down to just one at the minute . I've developed a hankering for another, thought I'd run out of ideas that were different but I feel a plan forming.
I always liked the pink consul capri convertable thats in the middle pic belonging to, if memory serves me well, simon bishop and featured in the october 1987 issue of street machine. It is mentioned in this thread with pics i think, but i cant get the pics to upload! Does this car still exist and what does it look like now?Quote:

thanks kev, i really liked this capri, only ive never been too sure about where the rear lights were fitted! Otherwise, great car.Quote:

yeh, thats very true mate, what went into the strenghening of this car to remove the roof, does simon still own the car.
cheers.paul.
Nope, Simon sold it on at least 20 years back. It had additional steel box welded inside along the trans tunnel, strenthen ing in the rear footwell area ( as this is a weak spot on the standard motor and , I think as it was a long time ago , additional boxing alongside the inner sills.
Thats my Old car sold it early 90 and bought it around 1988 after Hayling Island show, bought it near Bournemouth. I would love to know if this car is still around and would have it back in a flash, please let me know if anyone has any more informationQuote:

Steve helped build 'fat nicks' fiat that was destined for a big block, not sure what happened to that, he also had his hands into bob lackersteins red 55', again I don't know if the car or bob is still around??? Answers on a postcard? Steve was building the Capri for about 20-25 Years and was also the builder of the ford Anglia I had a few years ago.....along with a black Anglia van too! He's a top guy and took so long with the Capri because he was always helping someone else. Thanks for posting the pic, I sent it on to him, and have just had a txt back saying "it done that to me in watford once!" anymore would be appreciatedQuote:

Yes, john owned it for quite a while before getting his African Estate. He bought it from Walter, sold it to Classic racer Ian Drew who, with some help from me, sold it back to Walter (the 3rd time he had owned it, he bought it new, sold it, bought it back, then made it into an estate, then sold it to John). Walter hoped to restore it when he retired but it was just too far gone so he gave it to a scrapyard, without telling me. Paul Steeples bought it from the yard and broke it.
I have just come across a 12 inch album cover. GET THE BUZZ by THE GREEN HORNETS the cover shows a modded Consul capri. The pic is of the side so no reg number, the album seems to be from 1996.
Anyone know anything, like whose car it is?

Hey all,
just thought I'd share some pics of my Capri in Southern California. I dropped in a modified 13B rotary over 10 years and it's been going strong ever since. These cars are full of character and I'm glad to see that they are being appreciated.

I've got a front and rear screen here if anyone can use them. Far from mint and have overspray and possibly scratches. Free to someone who wants them as spares or to use. Flippers can flip off! Collection only from Wirral or could take to whatever events were going to next year.

There is a fella who is having both a capri and a classic restored at Motoburo. I will ask and find out if he is interested for spares Chris. Thank you

They are great looking cars, Capris and Classics. My first unfinished project was a 4-door Classic - got the seats re-upholstered and re-did the rest of the interior to match, arc-brazed (who else has used one of those?) a pair of tubes into the front wing for twin sunken aerials, but was beaten by rusty (non-existent) rear valence and lower quarters. Then a Pop came along and by the time I had finished stick-welding a box chassis for that I had scrounged an old 240v MIG from work so just got stuck into replacing the bottom six inches of Pop body rather than finishing the Classic. I also bought my first house sooner after that, so the Pop went with me to my own garage(!) and the Classic stayed on my parents' drive.
Sold it to an old workmate who finished the bodywork (a fair amount of filler and fibreglass was involved), painted it and got it on the road. Only ever saw it once.
PS That got me wondering and as I could remember the registration I looked it up on the DVLA: so 638EOT is still a red 1962 Ford, but untaxed since 1987. I don't think it was 1987 when I sold it - pretty sure it would have been 1985, maybe 1986, so he painted it red and maybe sold it to someone who then did nothing with it.

Arc braze? Is that the stuff involving 2 carbon rods that produces a kind of flame? The holder and rods seemed to come as standard equipment with every arc welder. I tried using it but was clueless. Didn't realise I needed some kind of filler rod! I see tig brazing seems to be catching on lately, if YouTube is anything to go by, but the idiots insist on calling it welding. Uses silicon bronze rods. I can see the possible use in dissimilar metals, but otherwise useless if you can actually weld!

That's the one. I think my Dad bought the little yellow "arc welder with brazing attachment" in 1980 to restore his 1976 Fiat Miafiori :)
TIG brazing is nice - I have a roll of 1mm silicon bronze MIG wire that I use.
I had one of those too ! Lent that and the welder too a mate and arrived too see the whole car up in flames and the fire engine. Never lent tools out after that !
