Got some really gd info on a capri forum a bloke called wilky and in fact he has said he will sort out a recon axle, diff and the brakes. Im gunna have to get a capri axle but as its not going to be cheap i might weld the one i got for a while lol

u should take it banger racing! lol

More stuff done and some more pics of the underneth!! Been researching and trying to figure out what my diff i got and i can get a LSD gearing. Joined a capri forum to find out as i was told it has a capri diff. Ive found the diff number now and it turns out on forum thread i found some other guy has a cortina Koln diff with the exact number as mine. At least i know what it is now soo i think i might fit a seirra diff maybe i dont know how much modding it will need. Tom he never had it on the road so he never did it, i just hope it goes through fine! Also finished cleaning the carb and painted the drivers floor

chop the roof and deck it lol

Painted the rear floor and took the carb apart, had some crap in there, taking it to work to blow out the nozzels and pipes. Enjoy!

Spoke to someone who runs a garage, he said if the springs come out of the seat but go straight back into place after the wheels have been fully dropped, its fine So far ive ordered a rear wheel bearing as its been noisy for a while and getting new front brake pads hopefully this week. I think i will do a pre mot at the end of the month and she should pass no probs

to be fair they are on ebay for £25 a corner, ive been told it might slide if the spring seats back down properly but im getting that confirmed. Back to tina, ive had a bit of trouble with the v5, he didnt send it till about 4 weeks after i bought it but he blames his missus for not sending it, he sent me the a v5 from the 2nd previous owner and it was signed by him & the rest not filled out, so i rang him and said i cant use that! he said he had the new one somewhere and after many texts basically get ur finger out! he said found it and i got it today, only to see its still got the 2nd previous owners details on it. So i guess i got to phone DVLA later today and find out what i need to do. Been a real pain in the neck! Been looking at diff's, the only capri lsd is from a 2.8i special and they are impossible to find... maybe a sierra one ?

well yes becuase of the amount of travel on the damper is so long, better start looking for more springs, gulp thats gunna take a while

well its taking the back seat for now, the accords mot is next month so i need to sort some bits out for that, bit worried my cut springs is going to fail the mot

Vteeeeeeccc accord! sounds sweet!

Did some more stuff done today, ripped most of the sticker back deadening off as it was tacky as hell. Removed the centre console and the very tacky velvet but 1 side broke off coz it was made badly! From what ive seen you wouldn't think the guy was a welding teacher! so my mate will weld that up for me. Also painted the rear cross frame, going to re-carpet the parcel shelf as well and tidyed up some of the wiring. Not a bad day

Progress tonight, pulled the carpet up and removed the bodged wooden! devider in the back, quite a few holes to fill, Im going to clean it all and paint brush a coat of black hamerite the floor and for the moment i will keep the back open and see how loud it is lol Also started sticker bombing the roof Also the previous owner finally sent me pics of the tina before it was painted and the work done in the both before it was painted. I want those the shiny wheels!! Theres about 60 pics but heres the highlights, tbh i im digging the previous rat paint lol

Hopefully ill get the floor painted and add some stickers to the roof and maybe sort some wiring out hmm lol

the wheels on the mugen pic are awesome bet they go for too many pennies now lol

You guys dont want to see how many wires are stashed back there, its a real mess! lol

Cheers dave, i have a wipers switch and it could be high beams i really dont know lol also i got a small flip button switch on the drivers dash which i have no clue what that does. I was sure that was a cortina convertible ..

Wow spotted this GEM! I saw ir aproching me and thought wow it cant be a US accord but as it passed to amazement it was a integra! lol I know now i want to find that owner and buy it off them! And got the right oil filter now woop!

Haha now that would be sweet! I do have a couple of spare NOZ bottles from my old ride..

What do you think this does ? it pushes in and out with a clicking sound and has wires coming off it hmm.. Oh my apologies for the ripspeed pedals lol

Finished the painting inside Some pics of the of the painting and me doing a game/drag/race face with no seat XD

Bought some oil and a filter today, just when i think 'isnt it still sunny, i might do the oil change later'... Of course it starts raining!! Guess the tina gets some more lovin instead lol

I looked it up that thang is sweet! Went for crazy money lol Got more stickers come thru the post

my missus is also into counting cars, ultimate cars, for the love cars and car horders lol not so keen on FnL but i love it! Really seriously !!?? I should post the tina on the gas monkey page! lol

yeah it was a mk2, tho those mk1 rears are very 50's looking which is what i love on yank classics. I will try to go to some shows and i rekon ill actually be chuffed having my own tina Anyway did some work on it today, started matt blacking the inside roof as it was still painted in its original light blue. Removed the drivers seat and re-adjusted the rev counter. Only bad news is my garage roof is leaking a tramp on a bad day, buying the those corragated roof fixings and maybe plastic corrogated sheets to put on top soon!
