Cool

I got fed up waiting for my integrale to come back from being rebuilt so I went and bought an a reg 2.8 injection capri with 55,000 miles on it in pretty mint condition for £500 (thanks to my sister) couldn't believe my luck I can't wait to pick it up now. Anyone know where they are breaking a caspian blue one with a nice bonnet? I also need a 2.8 special back axle with lsd I also need to get 1 wheel diamond cut because one of the wheels was nicked and the other 3 are painted and diamond cut Does anyone know where I can get this done?

I'd have a 2.8 capri for when it rains if I could afford to. Not quick through the corner but loads of fun!

Picked it up friday anyone know where I can get that wheel diamond cut? I also have to get new clocks for it because some muppet has taken the original ones out with 55,000 miles on to tally up with the history and replaced them with a set that says 5,000 and has a rev counter off a four cylinder capri If I get these clocks later are they easy to "clock" to the correct mileage?
