Messenjah Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Hi Guys, its been 6 years since I last had a capri on the road and I am picking up my new one hopefully on Friday ! no pics yet but some of you might recognise the username if i post up pics of my old car. had a little scout around this morning and i recognise quite a few names that are still regularly posting! that was my capri back in the day my first car and i miss it ! be nice to do it again but with more income and ability to make a nicer car (it wont be going matt black)
Messenjah Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Posted March 24, 2015 not sure if thats good or bad lol i like that im still "oldskoolford youth" despite now being 26
SmokeEm Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Welcome back! Must be before my time!! He is Mike, but its great to see him back! What's not to like. A matt black Capri. Hell yeah. Don't forget, me n my nephew won the OSFDC 2010 with a shitta of a Capri. Proof that money isn't the be all and end all of drag racing. The OSFDC is fair game for ALL budgets
Messenjah Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 its home ! despite being stored with the handbrake off the rear brakes seem quite seized , all four tyres were flat and i forgot to take a pump so i literally had to pick up the back of the car and walk it out of the garage it was in ! in doing so i have bent the rear bumper somewhat but the car really does seem to be about as rust free as ive ever seen a mk3 capri. there is a dent on the passenger side door and rear 1/4 so it will need some paint but all in all it seems solid and pretty straight. 2 previous owners last one since 1991 and been in a garage and not moved since 1998 35k genuine miles !
khanlad Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Shouldnt take too long to sort out, you doing it as you go or big strip and repair?
