a couple of years I bought a 2.0 cabaret II, down here in spain, english reg tho, now changed to spanish plate with historic plating ( an option you can chose, its a little more expensive but MOT are softer and isurence cheaper this way)
until today ive done some work to it, having a student budget isnt making me to do things "cheaper" or worse, Im just taking longer

here are some pics from when I got the car.It sat 4 years or so with out being used in south spain, enough time to damage the paint work. It had an efi engine 5 speed when I bought it, It didnt work, the injection was all rusted so I just got it of and bolted a weber to it ( know I whant to fix the injection and put it back)


soon I had it in my little garage where I could star doing some bits an pieces, I didnt have a clue when I bought it but it was quite fun to learn with it ( well Im still are)
took the efi manifold of and fitted a carb with an electric fuel pump keeping the electronic ignition.I changed oil, filters, steering pump oil,water pump, thermostat ( it didnt have one) and I cleaned all the water pipes and sistem, also I changed sparks and cleaned and painted the rad.





after 4 month having the car I still hadnt driven it, mainly because the paper work to plate the car was very slow, and I didnt want to take the risk of driving with no insurace, MOT paper work...
soon I got it legal and I whent to my first car meeting where I met some guys with capris that are now great friends ( althogh we only ring each other when it rains to have some "side fun" hehe)

summer 2009 I got hold of some 15x7 brooklands, well not actually brooklands, they are from a ford sierra, offset +25 and I fitted spacer at the front so they wouldnt touch the suspension strut
