I've done a little work to her this year,but sadly not as much as i'd like to have,injured my flippin side earlier in the year,so that set me back a bit. I'll do some pics soon :wink:

Righto folks HUUUUUUGE update of photo's, sorry it's been so long, an old knee injury has laid me up for this year :( , so I thought it was time to do an update of the photos i've had in me camera :grin:

Here goes....

Here i've marked out and drilled some holes to make an even bigger hole....
Image

Image

Image

Then I got the Dremmel out and got rid of all the sharp edges and fine tuned the hole....
Image

Image

Then marked and drilled out the fitting holes....
Image

For this little beauty :)
Image

Now I know what your thinking, why on earth does he want TWO fillers caps ???, well, actually the original X-Pack filler flap is going to be filled in and replaced with this....
Image

Now c'mon, who in there right mind wouldn't prefer summit as nice as this !....
Image

Now the funnel inside needed some of the inner webbing cutting away to fit....
Image

Now I can't thank this lovely Lady enough for all her help, yup lads, it's the Wife-to-Be ! :mrgreen: 8) ....
Image

Image

TA DA ! now, the funnel fits better....
Image

Now the Flexible fuel pipe fits a treat...
Image

Had to cut the original filler area out,so the new pipework would fit....
Image

Image

2 inch steel piping that I had bent to shape....
Image

The Missus cutting the old Capri filler pipe down, as it needs to fit the steel pipe....
Image

The old and the new pipe,before being welded up and some flexible pipe to attach to the bent steel pipe....
Image

And the finished article....
Image

Image

Image

Right now, I wanted something different,something unique for rear lights, so I bought these....
Image

Took em apart, and as you can see, there stepped....
Image

But there's was round that ;) ....
Image

I made a template up for the rear of the Capri....
Image

Then cut and bent some metal....
Image

Image

I drew the template out on a new piece of card,wrote down all the dimensions and took the template and the metal to a local engineering firm, because I wanted perfect circles and for it to look right....
Image

On both sides....
Image

Now I know the lights won't be to everybodies cup of tea, but I wanted something really more modern on the back of the car and LED !....
Image

Image

Well thats it for now,hope you guys like the update,sorry it doesn't look much. Hope to get more done when me knee's better

Stay safe out there ;)
Ian :wink:
