The main news is the arrival of the Volvo estate. Yep, we've had to be sensible with a growing family - a lowered
2 door E30 isn't going to be big enough! You can have a look at the details/picture here.
I am now using the IS for commuting, and to tide me over until I get the Capri back on the road for the summer.
After that I'm not sure at the moment, so we'll see how it goes, but it's a fantastic car, so I really want to hang
on to it. I did treat it to some clear front indicators, and smoked side repeaters a few weeks back which I think
work well against the silver.
Getting the Capri ready for the road again has turned into a bigger mission than I first thought (doesn't it always!).
The 2.8i struts and calipers, have all been rebuilt, but I can't bring myself to put anything back on which is dirty or
rusty, so everything has been stripped, painted, new bolts, bushes, etc! I've also got a 2.8i anti-roll bar with
poly bushes to go on as well.
However, I think I am going to start looking into getting everything else from now on stripped/powdercoated, as I am
sick of how long it takes to de-rust, and paint everything. Plus it's supposed to be a much tougher finish compared
to painting.
