ya gotta see this beauty!

[Retro-gone.]

Was sent on a road trip today to do some emergency glazing, i was in unknown territory and pulled up at side of road to crank up the satnav, this bloke walks out of a house and opens his garage door to reveal this georgous cosworth X pk mk3 capri.. of course i had to chat with him, hes been building the car 5 years (whilst running a stock 2.8 as his daily)

anyway, nice bloke, let me take these pics to show you lot, i told him bout osf but i got the impression hes not a computer man..

ive arranged to take my mk1 thro when i get it finished..

heres his mk3..

It's not every day i say that about a Capri. But when done right, they're up there with Escorts in my book!!

[kevmk2]

..and I do think Mk1's look particularly fetching in yellow (Capri's that is)(and Escorts too)

very daring and almost pulls it off, it would have just looked better with either no bumpers or black bumpers imo

[caprinerd]

i like that just not sure on that bonnet

[BIGKEV]

Nice Yellow not my bag - in Kevs world all cars would be midnight blue

 

Did you show him photos of yours on your phone?

[Guest chriscapriman]

what a beast, defo get some pics of your yellow mk1 and that mk3 next to each other not sure on those back lights, but looks liuke a weapon

[marky4]

very yellow but very nice

[4parajon]

Each to there own I say, and good on him for doing something very individual. Workmanship looks excellent

[Rick]

v nice, id love those wheels

[Mick The Cabbie]

I keep looking at this. I'm not sure really why I like it coz I'm not usually a fan of cars that have loads o' stuff nailed to em. Being yellow probably helps. It's very yellow. I love old cars in yellow!! I love the front end with the smooth Tickford stylee grille and the yellow bumper. I agree on losing the rear lights though. Wonder how it sits when it's on the deck..

[bigglesmk2]

I think it's the tit's

 

He's took an already cool car and put his personal touch and done a bloody good job,so what if it's too yellow or got shite rear light's it's his car and it's better then anything i could buy or build

[escortmad79]

Not sure on the bonnet... or the rear lights... or the cutout front bumper

 

Aside from that it's ok

[richie_stix]

ding ding! lovin that.... bet you like the yellow rocker cover mr retro!

 

not sure on the rear lights, but he has made an rs3100 suit a mk3, seen em done before, but that looks so right!

 

good find
