jake <3

fucking love it!

Best colour for a MK3

I am biased though

cheers for the comments, I've got quite a lot of work to do to get it looking how i like yet. a lot of little jobs but they all add up

aaaa jake back in a mk3 :) i sold your old one onto a mate who has just done a g40 conversion in it, sounds so sweet. Am slowly getting my other back on the road.

If the last one is anything to go by will be one sweet car :)

Woop, the G finally has a thread. Brett never gave it one

Please give it some dish again...

wooooaaahh all that thing was lacking was a G conversion, it was the cleanest shell I've seen on one of those with nothing but love put into it. is the guy on here or do you have any pics? would love to see her again

well i wont be driving this till next spring so I've got plenty of time to give it some love, and if i can strike a deal then it might be looking very very similar to that again

Might struggle if its the pls your after

Needs something just as pimp though.

Dunno if you like the purple the cam cover is in, but if you do and want to carry it on, I have about 3 cans of the stuff left here that are going to end up in the bin soon. Let me know if you ant um.

has brett sold the pls ? i was hoping to buy them at some point :(

as for the purple paint i think i might pass on that although it does look nice and i am tempted to keep going with it, but i probly gonna go with the capri theme throughout :)

has brett sold the pls ?

Paint was a bit random tbf haha.

I know lol, its so boring now.

He tried it with the ally cats which was a massive fail and a massive anti-climax

Don't know what he did with the cats though

aaaawwwww maaannn i wanted them :( would of saved me hours of trawling forums and ebay. i think your car would look better on cats tbh *coughs*

Love this car so much :biggrin:

Here it is sandwiched between a couple of Valvers

...not really the best photo of it mind

Sweet ride mate, My Capri G came from Leek originally

Cant belive Brett sold her ....

hahaha i forgot who i was talking to for a minute then, i think we all should aim for poloshow 2012 as i dont think mine will be going back on the road till next summer

Loving the Capri goodness.... was tempted to buy it myself will be keeping track of the progress.

Phil J was selling some 13 x 9 delta mig's recently, they fitted the mk2 he built very well and looked so much better in the flesh

I love this car - wouldv been mine had you not bought it

Finally got started on this after ages of being parked in my shed. plans are just to get it tidyed up abit now and get an idea of what i want to do with it.

had a quick nosey round the bay and found a few interesting things not connected

earths

reverse switch

lambda probe

Then just had a look at the condition of everthing up front

cut a few rust spots out

its nice to have started on it now, gonna get a few bits together and get some more done

Good start man! Glad you cut that rust out, am gonna have to come and see it again soon
