Teal Glow

Paul, JR used to shed a tear whenever I posted pictures of Teal Glow, now I get to shed a tear when I see pictures of the car shown. Great to see the car in such fantastic condition, and great to see that she's gone to a wonderful home.

Absolutely beautiful this car.
A credit to owners past and present.

Famous car. I still have my copy of Australian muscle car featuring the teal glow.[^]

That "glow" is almost radioactive.

Mike,

it couldnt be easier to install an IPOD amplifyer and its very cheap - forget the stereo shops they rip you off. Basically you need one of these

and one of these

then just buy a small piece of speaker cable. Thats all you need.

All you need to do is wire the new amp to you speaker then connect the power lead (supplied) to the auxillary in you car, that way you always leave the amp switched on. I placed the amp next to the speaker (in the opriginal spot under the dash) no need to fix it down or anything it just basically site there next to the speaker. Then you get the IPOD lead (1.5 meter long) plug it into the back of the amp, run it down the dash and under the center console and it pops out near the handbrake. Once thats done you simply plug your IPOD/Phone into the 3.5mm plug. All in all mine cost about $25 and that includes postage from Hong kong. Very very cheap and easy way of getting digital tunes with the added benefit of not needing to install an Aerial into your car as the IPD cable is the aerial aswell.

Just be aware when I bought my 1.5m cable from hong kong (the one listed) It wasn't the best quality - I did end up going to Tandy/richard Smith and buying a much better quality gold plated one, and the quality of tunes was %100 better (this cost about $5 - $10, although for 99c you may aswell give it a go first.

hope this helps - it really is easier than it sounds

Hi all,

nothing new going on with my Capri - I just rolled it out and gave it a bit of a polish over the weekend so thought I would post a couple of photo's - I went for a great 200km cruise to the GinGin British car day last Sunday - I was swamped by E-types/Rollers/Bently's and Aston martins - I was the only one with a mk1 Capri amongst about 500 cars. However it was a great day out

regards Paul

Very nice artwork!
 
There's a couple of pics of her in the latest Australian Muscle Car magazine, issue #67, with the Wheeler dealer Monaro on the cover. The pics are on pages 64 and 65, with Brent at the wheel, in the article about 'The rise and fall of the big Aussie six'. Funny thing is though, there is no mention of any Capri's anywhere in the article!?!?
