"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.

Hi,
It'd nice to see that this Capri has been given a new lease of life with an owner that is prepared to cherish it! :)
To be honest, the customising thing isn't for me, but it is a gorgeous shade of blue.

All the best,
Andrew.

Thank go someone is finally going to rescue it and return it to its former glory.

A set of original wheels, bumpers new interior, . Front panel. A spray in a genuine shade will hopefully have it looking goo again.

Why? There's pages of parts here and eBay. We can all help get it back, parts prices aren't too bad. It's perfectly achievable.

If in doubt just ask. You'll get there. Another Capri being brought back to its former glory :cool:

Trouble is you take the front one off you then need to take the rear one off, if someone wants to donate a rga kit i would remove them lol

Now much as this may be the pimp my ride Capri This is not a one off I have seen a B reg Capri
which started as a 2.8 and then was fitted with a v6 cossie and I saw this at a car show so 11 years ago.

Take no notice, each to their own. Be pretty boring world if we all had the same car in the same colour, doing the same speed...blah, blah, blah.
I happen to like it as it is! :cool:
