    Shot-blasting steel wheels

    Yeah get it done mate. Just had my standard wheels on my 90 done. 25 years of muck n rust gettin horsed around a farm and I had them blasted and painted in olde English white. They were in a rough state but the blasting did its trick. After they were painted they look new. £50 quid a wheel. Well...

    What door card type do i need?

    H Hello Mate, I got my door card from recovery 4x4 on eBay for £80. Easy to fit to main frame. Made from abs plastic. They sell ones for different models but I’m sure the one I got would fit yours. One of the lads said metal one helps support the door which is advantage over this but I beefed...

    That story was in the news again just a couple of years back. People are trying to locate the wreck to see if it was shot down. Some reckon it was shot down. Guy had been in Vietnam and wanted to just go home, must have just had enough eh. Brize Norton is actually a huge place. Biggest one in uk...

    I wouldn’t know mate. There is a club in the uk for capri owners. The Old Ford’s sure have a fan base. My other half’s old man has a 87’XR2 he wants to either sell or rebuild, I’ve told I’d buy it if he sells. Be a good project as it’s complete. It was put away dry stored 25 years ago. It looks...

    Yes mate , Brize is quite a big airbase for the UK. Transport hub etc and a training school for parachuting. Few different types of aircraft based there. No Hercs anymore, a brain surgeon in the MOD decided to punt them all, bit silly if you ask me. Very good aircraft.

    I would just like to say

    A few of my mates had the Old Ford’s, capris, xr2, xr3, all great motors. Cousin had a souped up capri too…terrifying at speed with him at the wheel😂 plain old me had old series that used to arrive about a week after that lot. They used to rip me to bits about its speed. I know Carterton well...

    Yeah. Aint nothin like the real one…can’t replicate the 80’s either…more the pity. Vauxhall had the new viva a few years back. Didn’t think much of that either ✌🏻

    Glad I could help. I’m happy with the finish, looks like factory. Meant to say there is no smell either. Hope you get it done.

    Was quite surprised how it turned out too. Took a chance on it and I’m pretty happy with the result. Could recommend it to any of you lads if you’re going to try it.
