eddyramrod Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Yes! Am I in, lol, I have nowhere to go, nobody I want to be there with and no money to get there, or spend when I do, so yes, the answer is almost always, I'll be in. I'll have finished my chippy by about 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Not long and it’ll be MOT exempt. You can ignore the rust and welding then!😆 looking great though, you did well with the early metal hub cabs. I bagged a few a while back for my Capri, new old stock still in their ‘Ford’ bags. They weren’t cheap but I needed some as the little metal sprung tangs in the inside had rusted away. Nicer looking than the later plastic caps. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf892 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nice car! That rear of of sill is time consuming to do……I think it has a brace inside for the jacking point and usually takes a little bit of the inner sill with it. They look like mk4 door strips on it?
