Red MK2 (More pics...)

[VitinhoMF]

First saw one when i was 12 and never stopped thinking about it...

Now here it is...

Some pics:








I just love it....But now i can´t stop spending money on it....

[Beakster]

Love it! Very nice.

The spending never stops though.

[VitinhoMF]

Thanks! Now its at the paint shop, becoming Ferrari red...sorry i just love that italian red...

There is just one setback to all this though. The more money i spend, the less i´m able to squeeze the throttle..the less i feel like i can enter a curve and go sideways...I feel like one day i wont be able to take it out of the garage because i´m afraid it might get sratched somehow...that sucks....

I need to forget all that and think that Capris were made to enjoy driving...

Thats a beautiful car you have there mate. I know what you mean though, everything is a catch 22. You want to drive her everyday but always the thought of something happening.

I can't wait to get mine into a spray shop.

Someday mine will be in showroom condition... someday

Had a paintjob this summer..







And now i´m having the time of my life with it....

Hey dude! That's one tidy capri, great job! Also loving that interior

[VitinhoMF]

Thanks a lot!!

Here goes one more!´

Fantastic!
I like the color and the wheels!
What's exact size of those wheels and tires? 5.5 or 6 x 13?

[VitinhoMF]

Thanks. The wheels have also been painted. They are 5.5/13 and the tyres are 185/70 R13.

Although i think i need some spacers because the wheels are sitting too deep inside the wheel arch..

[WolfTrax]

Spacers are no problem, I can get them made very cheap. I just asked because I want to buy same wheels here and they are same dimensions as yours. I like the look with these rims, they are best choice for Mk1 or Mk2!

[VitinhoMF]

Minilites also look very good on Mk2s. There is a member of the forum who has a red mk2 Capri with minilites and its awesome...

On the mk1 i think that the best looking wheels are rostyles like this:

Gorgeous car! Never been a fan of mk2s because they tend to come in beige or green and look naff but yours is amazing

[VitinhoMF]

Thanks. I dont mk2s colours either. This one was originally red but i had it painted in Ferrari Red. Its the same colour as the Ferrari Mondial.

Do I spy a rear louvre?

Need some better shots of it rather than through the back window!

[VitinhoMF]

Yes i fitted one some days ago.

[Jake]

Very nice.
One of the best MK2s ive seen!

Well done sir!

[VitinhoMF]

Thanks mate. I´m now upgrading the engine, suspension, brakes, etc...But it´s a very slow process..Specially since i always have to wait for the parts to come from the UK (Mostly from Burton).

A few more...
