Well I bought this capri a while ago but hadn't got round to doing anything with it as I was having too much fun in the Dax. Then all of a sudden I needed something to do a 60 mile commute in everyday. Unfortuately the capri only lasted a fortnight before something started to sound very terminal.

So I started by pulling out all the carpets and sound deadening and instantly wished I hadn't. Hopefully I'll get to start on that next week when I'm not working.






Meanwhile I set about with new shiny bits.



I discovered why there was a rather loud grinding noise - must remeber to check the pads on the next car I buy



This explains the shite handling / steering



While it was all in bits I decided to replace the crappy brakes with something slightly larger



No rust in this bit (that I can see anyway) so ready for some sound deadening and a stealth install



Will post up more pics when the welding gets underway and the hubs and uprights come back from the machine shop.
