Twinkle Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Thanks for all the encouragement guys. None of you want my pride and joy then you have moved then reminds me of a speedboat i had a few years ago, that was a chocolate with a proper 70s flake to it
johnny_h Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Ignore Rustypup, most people do. That is shite tho! You should see the pics of a capri the owner of which I sold some leaf springs to! Led rear lights and bonnet that came at angles down over the front lights
RUSTYPUP Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 sorry mate i fell awful now but what can i say you got me . [/quote Don't feel awful. It's not really mine and I think it's a bit crap too! Just like to make people think twice about slagging peoples cars as you never know who is reading this. But, its no fun without a bit of slagging is it?!

Aren't they similar to Neons??
Supercharged Nat Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 dont look all that bad to me... not sure if its worth that much, or even if it is, a lower starting bid is required me thinks.. (may as well just done a 'buy it now') looks ok in my opinion but i wouldnt know if it was a good job or not.
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 I have to say, I like it, the paint job that is. I am not sure about it being on a Mk3, but I like my twinkly paint jobs. That reminds me of a nice Mk1 that used to go to the Ashford meet, it was black with the rainbow fleck paintwork, proper 70's. Each to their own

Gareth Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 The thing I don't understand is, why the hell go to all the trouble paintin the car, and A dont drop the struts outta the inner wings, and B don't even run a rag over the engine, cuz it's covered in crap.

Agree'd! I thought exactly the same, it doesn't say alot for your work does it???
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 whatever floats ur boat i spose Dam right its another OSF that been saved. Car itself seems ok! Holes can be picked in anything and 700 quid aint bad for a car with that mileage, interior looks clean enough! Throw a few tins of primer over it and off you go! Im not a huge fan of capri's but to coin a phase 'whatever floats your boat i spose
v6pop Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Looks like its got Mirror Flake sprayed over the blue base colour,not a bad job either.I used to spray this stuff on bikes and scooters in the 80's and its a lot of labour(and cost) to get that flat finish on a flake job. Not the sort of paint job I would go for but at least it looks clean and shiney
