the car is hilarious. goes like a rocket lol. i think it may be too much of a car for me though.... only time will tell

[Jungle_Jim]

capri 2.8 rear axle. used to have a red light. the switch is still there

i got a couple of ideas for it but i might get shot for posting them hehe

[billy_bunter]

that brings back some memories lol

Last time I saw a car with the red light on the back axle was a maxi

Looks like appliance slots too

[beeRS]

Some may laugh - but I think its pretty cool in a retro/custom kinda way

If it were mine I'd put the red light back on

[Jungle_Jim]

can i get a hell yeah? of course its going back on

lol its running well hot atm. so looking into some bigger fans.
its got a lil 70's electric fan on it. (bubbling over) im thinking a pair of bigger fans should keep it cool

[NRspeed]

mk4 grill is it and VauX VX headlights?
Keep it retro. What else can you do with a chopped tina.
If i had it I would black out the door frame tops. Not sure about the sunroof visor, it sort of ruins the look of the roof. Maybe give it back it's tina grill and headlights. Lower it a bit more but keep the jacked up stance.
Have fun with it!

[Jungle_Jim]

maybe i wouldnt get shot for my plans...

remove the bubble, sort the front out... i like the idea of blacking the frames

i actually wanted to completely deck it so it was sat low all round. but that can wait get it running sweet first

[Tazman]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I'll have to keep an ear out for on the roads round Thatcham

Tyres/wheels gonna need changing to drop the back down I reckon. Side stripedoes not do it justice either. Maybe a vertical wing stripe (USa muscle style) or lower door stripe like the old fords.

[Jungle_Jim]

mmm. looking at a respray too. so that could all be incorporated. i was thinking a glossy black, would go with the chrome polished up... sat low all round on superlites. maybe i can go round bends better then....

Was round Jims tonight for a bonfire, he picked me up from work, it feels immense to be honest, from right down it just keeps on building!

I got a quick vid of him giving it a rev before my phone died..
