Oooh Lovely!:thumbsup:

OH was quite relieved that the ones that came here were the German ones and not Dagenham Dustbins:rofl: Mine has a little rot in the front bonnet and the rear lower quarters need replacing other than that it's great - Oh, where it's been stored for so many years some of the paint has been rubbed down to bare metal from someone brushing past it. Quite a sad story, the guy spent years collecting spares for it and then died on holiday:( It's come to a good home though and will see the light of day again.

OH took a look at the pics, it's got a mustang engine and some mustang interior, I think the phrase mentioning barge pole should come to mind:eek: Stick to your Jag for now.:thumbsup:

Not keen on the bodykit on that Capri, I prefer them restored visually like the original.

Love yours PP :thumbsup:
