My mk1 Build *S1 dash now in, pg9*
… here in Canada we can't get anything smaller than 1.8L for mk1… well, 1.6 diesel but they are very rare!

The maestros were MG maestro 2.0 EFI's. Both broken for spares now for a few mint ones we have
Yeah, the capri is a 1.6GL

I must admit though, the car is looking nothing like this anymore. Im going to rebuild/respray it next year if I have time

in what way does it not look the same any more? the maestro's are wicked cars,i dont know much about them but there just another one of those cars that dont normally get a looking of most folk and i dont see why because they have lots of potential and the capri is lovely, i have seen it about perth and i always stop and stare at it because its that clean and its not your usual laser model aswell
Theres some rust coming through and I left it out all year while I drove other cars so its faded. But I was planning on rebuilding it anyway so it doesnt matter. Will look better than ever next year if i get round to it. The capris not bad body wise. I just replaced part of the o/s sill as there was a big hole. But the rest is fine. Its getting new wings though

look forward to seeing it after you rebuild it ,was out all day yesterday doing bits and pieces to the cabby with my dad and never got back till 8,got all the gear linkages rebuilt and also got my s1 centre console,cubby holes,scuttle cover and ht leads aswell that i got for £20 but the centre console is'nt going in till ive got a dash to go with it and all the instruments aswell but that can wait till i get it back of my dad and despite the capri having some work done its probably still as clean as the first time i spotted it
How'd you manage to get all that for £20 8O or was that just for the leads?
Sounds good. You should start a progress thread
