Hi there i thaught i would resurect my old thread! give you guys an update and some new pics (not sure whats happened to all the old ones i shall investigate!)
The car now has a FULLY flocked interior looks awsome! digital dash! sorted the small oil leaks coming from the breathers given it a lil tidy up for RUN TO THE SUN a couple of weeks ago! and apart from the wiring problem (see Q&A) shes running nicely! still need to get the bike carbs set up to get some more horses out of her but all seems happy!
im rubbing her down fixing a few bits then giving her a nice coat of olypic blue and am going for a similar colour scheme to the rs2600 colours il post some pics soon!!
cheers guys

Looks cool, do you have any other pictures of the outside? the others aren't showing.
Since I got a capri I've said "over the moon" a lot more than ever before.
