Interesting Capri Mk1

[Chris!]

[stephens_xpack]

Nice wheels and a nice stance. Lights look a bit iffy?

Is that a normal ridge along the length of the car or has that been modified a bit? Looks cool.

last used in 88" and was regersterd as red i like it tho

[Chris!]

i think it was in a 86 street machine mag

[escortmad79]

Excellent stance, just not keen on the rear lights

[Gareth]

I see the intention with the rear lights,

 

jus dont like their upward slant

 

Anyone notice the small 'adjustment' to the ends of the rear arches

[Guest MK1gaz]

Incase anyones interested the wheels are made by "Appliance" and where all the rage in the 80's . Look shite now though !!!!!!

[Copey]

its cool as hell other than the lights!

[Pipster007]

Those lights look similar to Vauxhall Viva lights

[surfingturnip]

that would be awesome if the rear lights were flush with the boot and rear panels, would happily have it as is though

 

Those lights look similar to Vauxhall Viva lights

methinks they are too

Appliance wheels look shite?!!!

Well 13 inch minilite style rims are the proper period wheels that have been fitted since the 1960's and they still look the best in 2007 . You lot can all fit your chrome spinners and 17 inch split rims and i'll just sit back and laugh !!!!!!!!

[FlashCadillac]

i like that.... i really fookin like that i dont even mind the lights... they could have been done better... nearly did something similar to mine with firbird lights....

 

love the wheels

 

oh... and Gaz... your minilights look shite! im not a fan of them but yours just look really really shite!

[Guest MK1gaz]

So you don't like any proper looking oldskoolfords from the last 50 years then . Fads will come and go but the 13 inch minilites will just keep being fitted to the simple period looking motors forever

7 x 13 inch minilights with narrow tyres stretched on em (which everyone seems to have now) are,nt period they are a fad.

period would be 5.5 or 6 by 13 inch with proper size tyres on em. i dont remember seeing any old rally/race cars in the sixties with wheels that look like coasters on em

the period wheel of the seventies was slot mags, center lines, cosmics and appliances.

now seen as all our cars are from the 60s and 70s i think its you who isnt period.

I think they're Firenza lights, the trim's black, whereas Viva ones are chrome

 

Correct me if I'm wrong

I may as well tell you as well then = We only fit 175/50/13's on 7x13's because NOTHING ELSE FITS under the standard arches once they're lowered . On 6x13's you can fit the baloon tyres from the 1970's if you like but they're crap and your car needs to sit 2 foot off the ground (so will look shite then) . Also 7 inches is 175mm so all this "stretching " bollox is just that = bollox . P.S. minilites are period and slot mags etc aren't , they are period aftermarket custom shite

[Gareth]

Don't mean to be picky Gaz m8, but minilites are aftermarket too....

[Guest MK1gaz]

You could buy them as a ford rally pack and they were fitted to all the 1960's , 70's , 80's rally cars Naff custom cars had slot mags etc and velvet roof linings !!!!!!

thought that would get you goin,

i suppose not running nos or a turbo on your jelly mould cosworth engine is period aswell.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Yep 16v pinto conversion without gas + turbo (so like a period Holbay Warrior engine is then ) and cheaper than a B.D.A. (and faster)

Even though I'd add 6J minilites as a period 70's wheel, I'd say he's got you bang to rights with your fingers in the cookie Jar with the 7J coasters charge Gaz.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Yes but 7's look better than 6's and minilite style wheels are still the best looking rim on an oldskoolford even after 40+ years
