Well I've been busy and managed to get the car rolling again no thanks to capri sport. I couldn't get the fluid reservoir from the capri to bolt to their master cylinder so followed what will did in ppc and ordered one from rimmer bro's which came with the correct reservoir. Got the right polybushes from deflex the next day and took her out for a drive
Handling and brakes are much improved although It could do with going a bit lower at the front and possibly swop some of the polybushes for softer ones as there is a lot of vibration, although it feels very direct which is great. Still set fully soft all round so no adjustment in the damping. Might have to get some adjustable top mounts as I have a feeling the camber is a bit off making it quite easy to lock up the fronts.
New wheels looks good too....
Started on the rust today too, the bodyshop guy next door is talking me through it, although I think he's going to get fed up with me at some point.
Its a bit more extensive than i thought, I peeled all the sound deadening off with a hot air gun and chisel and got the grinder out. I soon discovered that most of the front part of the passenger sill is fiberglass so I cut it all out. Begining to wish I hadn't even started, and theres still some more rust to go.....
Not sure if I can patch that up as theres not that much structural metal left, anyone got any ideas?
