Restore-A-Ford, East Sussex 07717 861 139
When it comes to metalwork/ bodywork Restore A Ford are very good. Run by Stuart, an ex-Ford body man, who is turning out some pukka work for reasonable prices. He is busy, but will always be happy to quote. They say perfection takes time and thats only because he's really good and doesn't rush the job. He's always in demand and so always busy, its well worth the wait if you want that top notch finish. Their website says it all really and is slowly being updated as Stuart prefers a grinder and welder to a camera and computer!

Petrol
If your motor still needs a decent drink every now and then, there is a dwindling number of petrol stations selling still selling 4* leaded petrol for extortionate amounts of money, but then, I suppose its worth the extra to get that lead memory back in to the engine and have smooth, quicker running engines. Have a look, you might have to drive about 200 miles, but at least the engine will say thanks:

Message from our sponsors
The 'RETROFORD INTERNATIONAL' website now over a year old and certainly is proving popular and is regularly updated. Parts are being listed on it but if it has an N/A listed against it, then we are currently out of stock. Updating this as well as doing everything else obviously takes time so please bear with us. Please keep looking and any queries you have either email us through East Grinstead Capri Club website or our website through the link below
