Hi again folks. Glad you liked the pictures of the capri.

Re: Capri hot start problem

Thanks Andrew. I can't take all the credit, my brother had it 90%. I only done the Final touches.
He had cancer and he worked on the capri up until a month before he past away. Im gutted he never got a drive in it.
