newbie : My rusting 80's relic

[OllieC]

as i am a newbie here I thought id lower the tone of the readers cars

heres my pretty much standard daily driver 2.8 crapi

150 hp / 160 ft lbs, 0-60 8 seconds, so slow these days sounds nice tho..

I'm saving up for something a lot faster as a nice days and weekends car, but still has to be old skool ford

Lovely old girl !

[Gadaffi Duck]

I have to admit I like the Capris. Nice car, that m8. Don't see them so much nowadays. Remember the Tickford(?) Capri?

[bmwdrivernigel]

Ollie, that looks perfect, I had one of those new !! (and now they are classed Old Skool )

[Sporting Bear]

I have an original 1981 2.0S as my daily drive and I can tell you that is NOT rusty

Nice colour too

[NCC1701]

Awesome motor, still looks good today, love the twin rear cannons.

Ollie,
That is lovely

always had a soft spot for capri's...had a few of my own years back

[bob1179]

That is a very nice looking Capri. What sort of exhaust have you got fitted?

[OllieC]

Thanks for the compliments

The exhaust is a Magnex stainless steel system, sadly you cant buy these new any more
i'm not 100% convinced on the look of the rear pipes, maybe a little 'max power' but the sound is excellent (for a cologne v6 anyway)

as for rust, well i took a picture from the clean side

Lovely car, I always like the XX pack capri's especially the old 3.0s ones.

"The car you always promised yourself"!

That looks very tidy. We lusted after those when I was a teen.
