About:
As part of the "Improve and Modify" series,
this manual is designed for improving the Ford Capri. The book is
designed so that a whole range of optional extras and accessories can
be used to transform the basic model.
The manuals can be used for both non-mechancially minded owner as well
as the more skilled home mechanic. Instruction and advice on topics
ranging from fitting traditional accessories to full-body kits,
interior improvements and mechanical modifications, from upgrading the
airfilter to serious engine tuning, are covered.
Lindsay Porter
Lindsay Porter has written more than 50 books and well over
1,000 magazine articles on motoring, and other technical subjects.
Lindsay was born in 1949 in the industrial, English, West Midlands, the
main home of the British motor industry of the time. He well remembers
meeting a bloke on the shop floor at John Thompson Motor Pressings in
early 1958, who had spent his life building traditional ladder-frame
chassis, shaking a newly pressed floorpan for a yet-to-be-launched new
car and saying, "Look 'ow it wobbles -this !!?*!!-thing cor work!" But
in fact, the 'Frogeye' Sprite worked rather well didn’t it – and
Lindsay eventually wrote a manual showing how to restore them…
Lindsay became a school teacher in 1972 and found his time in the
profession deeply rewarding but left in the early '80s, as his writing
work began to take off. His first piece of professional writing was
carried out in 1979 for DIY Magazine, explaining how he and wife Shan
built and extended their own country cottage - the one they still live
in today. It was quickly followed by regular articles for Practical
Classics Magazine (from issue No. 1) and classic car books and manuals
for established publishers.
His MGB Restoration Manual was first published in 1982 and is still in
print. It was the first photo-based, step-by-step manual of its type
and, having established the genre, Lindsay has since written
restoration manuals on most models of classic car..
In 1985, Lindsay launched Porter Publishing Ltd and produced the first
commercial range of classic car videos, in association with Castrol,
with over 70 titles available. The printed word soon followed and
Porter Publishing was commissioned by Fiat, Perkins Engines and
Halfords, among others, to produce workshop manuals, including the
first all-colour manuals.
Lindsay is still working on classic cars and writing new books on them,
as well as updating and republishing several of his older titles. To
