Re: Mk3 Autoplas Louvre and sides plus other bits and bobs

Hi all,

I have put most of the list on ebay, most stuff is going v cheep as i listed them all with 0.99 and no reserve - so might be worth a punt: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111020643371? ... 1555.l2649

Re: Mk3 Autoplas Louvre and sides plus other bits and bobs

lol - totally agree but its a very unusual retro thing.

It has 6 toggle switches, map reading light, 1 speaker, one tine speaker, slots for coins. 2 pop-out sections for more lights :applaud:

I wanted to put it on my mad max style motor but i need the funds now to compete the v8

Re: snow

Have to admit it but I am crap at driving in compacted snow/ice - new snow is no problem.

I usually apply the idiot test of walking 100 meters - If I manage to slip over then I will probably prang my BMW. :lowrider:

Re: reasonable price for this capri? :)

Can of worms by the looks of if - take a look at some of the restoration pages and you will see similar cars with rust in the same places. You will end up needing to respray it too with that many panels needing changing.

Re: Winter Resto Project

Nothing much Pete - funds are tight but i just want to restore it to a point that I don't need to throw it away or consider getting a new shell etc... going to stick with the RV8 conversion, but the engine is a little special ;) probably stick with the satin black paintwork but we will see on that...
