Started being a good day! picked up 2.5 lump this morning for free :P

Spent just short of 1000 quid in carniosseur.... On some bling wheels.

Go out for a pimp in the beast....... middle exhaust mount gives way, grrrrrrr, managed to bodge it to get home,

On the way temp guage to middle (very rare and i was on a duel carrageway)...... look under bonnet and water pump is pissing out water everywhere, great...... Dad..... Dad comes out and with a tow rope, mid roundabout towing eye snappes off his 5 month old zt-t v8, GREAT!! So went and got my van and towed it home! get home put it on the driveway and push into garage and the diff has pissed out oil everywhere GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have spent so much cash on parts tese last few weeks,

Discs pads hozes, wheels, kicker sub amp etc,

GRRRRRRRRRR & tax runs out on tuesday i think.......

But on the positive side its coming off the road untill next summer, i can get everyting done before it comes back! includes a full H&R kit, and a scorpion zuast, and a few bits and bobs, i want everyting to be done by november, because thats when project Cossie capri starts! :cool: and then the bmw can go into storage until next summer!

Why a capri? You could put it in any thing!
And I'm not going to suggest an E30 - you could literally put it in ANYTHING

this is true, my last car was a capri and i miss it soo much (i bought the bmw for being a tart :P)

There a real drift machine....... rwd, bugger all weight over rear wheels so very very tail happy, look cool, lsd easly added, cossie lump fits on original mounts.
I guess its kinda a dream car may sound silly, but i have always wanted a black capri mk3 with cosworth power, theres only 1 in the country with a cossie lump and thats only about 200bhp, and its got 4x4 running gear with a shitty bodykit.....

my last capri was a 2.1 pinto and that was 160bhp

so i have to make a stripped out rwd one with 350+ bhp!! :P ford engines belong in fords!!!

thats how it would look but with 350+ bhp 2x buckets 99.9% stripped out,

LOL I always used to want that when I was a teenager too

Know I think a MK1 capri (sqare lights) in gold or something would be the daddy to do this with :cool:

I presume you saw the evo articles about the guy tarting up the capri?

There was also an amusing capri article in loaded a couple of years back, they bought a load of capris and raced em to the monaco gp, covered in racing stickers - only the small engined one didnt expire on route, and got waved onto the track as the officials thought it was in one of the support races LOL
Cheers,
Robin
