vtec2011 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah I'm really liking the rat paint job too If I had an oldskool motor like this, it would be 'Mad Max' style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
