Today's next Capri thread... I got hold of this one last week:




2.8 Special with LSD and 1/2 leather Recaro seats, £150

It needs some work, the rear wheelarches aren't the best, and drivers door is a bit shot, but otherwise very solid. It seems to run and drive pretty well, power steering leaks like a sieve but I think its just a hose split.. Interior near mint, apart from a very small hole on the drivers seat leather.

I'll hopefully have it mostly sorted by next summer for a bit of tail out action, just need to finish uni first and get a job so I can put petrol in it!

watch this space.....

Yeah, it was a bit too good a bargain to pass up on. Unfortunately its going to have to be dry stored for 6 months or so until I finish my degree and have a bit more time to fix it up properly, but definitely looking forward to next summer!

I'll join the club sometime, as theres bound to be a few bits I need... does anyone know if there are inner rear wheelarch repair sections or would i need to make some up?

cheers, Mike

Cheers for that, I'm probably going to replace all the suspension bushes and try and make the brakes better, it looks like they know their stuff.
