If you are moving that rack on I would be interested (would go nicely in the new car). Also if you need a standard rack let me know as we have a few sitting around.

Thanks Mike but Ill probably hang onto it for a while yet. Cheers,... ron.

Hi capri people. Ive been preoccupied lately getting the cortina registered. Now its done the capri front end is next. I thought that the wheel bearings were shot but the movement is happening when the bottom of the shocker insert is moving inside the strut. Is the nut at the top of the strut loose or is there something that needs to be done to hold the bottom of the shocker insert  steady?
There is a clunk when turning sharply at parking speeds.

Good to see you haven't forgotten about it Ron. I must I was Impressed with your resto job on it... its a credit to you. I have a similar clunk in 1 of my capris but have found it to be the spring binding in the cup. as i turn the wheel the top stays in place but the bottom rotates and the noise is the spring popping back to its netural position.. It only happens when parking as on the road the im not turn the wheels as sharply as when parking.. I haven't found a way to fix this yet..    Im going to head up to Kendron this year in the RS31...Will you attending? cheers Owen

Hi Owen, yes I will be making every effort to be there. Im hoping hotboost will be there with his car (if its finished in time). There are some fantastic capris up here I hope there is a good turnout. Looking forward to catching up and of course seeing the rs. Cheers,...ron.

Is there an easy way to determine whether a Capri is a BBS special ? I have come across a rather late model Capri of interesting paint and trim colour combo (not that that may mean anything) - can I tell from the ID number ?
 
regards Paul

Hi Paul, yes in fact the only certain way to tell is by the numbers.
Eleven cars, as far as I know four have been accounted for.

Nice deck!

is that Batu or Jarrah  ?? 

OK easier to just type in the numbers of the seven cars still unacounted for.
