SEE POST 89 ONWARDS FOR START OF PROJECT
So here's how the sotry goes -
I have always loved Capris, and loved the opportunity to own one, so me and my Dad were halfway through purchasing one before he died in 2001, the day before my 10th Birthday. RIP old man.
Anyway, fast worward to Tuesday night (29th April)... Was generally browsing, and came across a 1986 Capri in the next town. Had a look though the images, looked a bit worse for wear, but arranged a viewing anyway.
Now fast forward to tonight, There I am standing next to this beautiful, long car. Instant love it really was. Needs a fair bit of work, new battery, exhaust, rust spots fixed etc. I offered him £400 on the spot for it, and we eventually agreed on £450. So it's mine now!
I'll be trailering it home in the next few weeks, so until then, you've only got these pictures. IT's not the fact that it's old, I love them, and how many 17 year old UK men can you say you know who own their first car outright with no financial help - I dont know any!
So ill be going up soon for another look at it, hand over the dosh and complete the deal.
I'm in love
Will get better pictures for you on Monday - but here it is.
Any questions, just fire away!
