As a Canadian you'll be possibly surprised to know that we got many British shows here even though we only had two channels for many years if you didn't have cable. Which we didn't until I was maybe 12 or 13 something like that. But the CBC played a lots shows Like Are you being Served (I didn't really get that one) Minder and comedies like The two Ronnies and of course Benny Hill The Goonies every day at 5pm!! Loved em! Of course Last of the Summer Wine and Many others. But the FORD CAPRI came into my life from Europe here in Canada and I bought TWO!! LOL. Then rally raced them and sold them off when I went on the road touring with my band.

Tip for fixing your overriders, drill all the metal out of the overrider itself and epoxy a 10mm bolt into it. Bury the head of the bolt quite far in and “slather” in arildite. I did mine 20 years ago and they’re still on!👍

Great tip!

YEA BABY TURBO TURBO TURBO!!!!! YEA!!!! Now I have a warning for ya here. I put some huge power to my 1973 Capri back in the day (around 1985 or so lol) and it was a V6 2.6l with racing pistons high rise manifold headers four barrel carb and it had over 300 hp no questions asked. The only big problem was the Rear end blew out on me almost within the first two months or less. Over heating wasn't a problem surprisingly. So take all this as you wish. ROCK ON BRO!!!

[@hectorpascal]

Sadly, I was half expecting that cast metal drill press vise to break. They are just not designed to be used like that 😒 Nice idea though...

[@FrederickHopkins-xb6me]

Regarding door removal and re-install - for heavy doors, you have an engine hoist and straps. And another thing, I made an adaptor for my die grinder to make slitting disks go further and also to get into tight spaces.

[@BlueSteel331]

I exclusively restore Vauxhall cars and have been doing so since the late 80s...I consider all models up to the 90s but my ultimate restoration would be a 2.3 Magnum = very rare car to find now.

[@ambivalentonion2620]

Vauxhalls are a nightmare, been trying to get a 2.0 cih rebuilt for my mk1 cavalier and finding a new engine was difficult got the only one available and it needs loads of new parts that aren’t stocked anymore and many parts imported from Europe and it’s taking my garage ages, if it was a ford of the era with a pinto I could get all the parts or even a drop in engine within a week

I live very near Gateshead and if I'd have known you were coming up here I'd have loved to meet you. As the Zetec is fuel injected you'll need the petrol tank from a 2. 8i Capri as it comes with a swirl pot. Also a full brake and suspension upgrade would be a good idea if you don't want to have intimate relations with lamp posts!

[@tastyclassics]
