Time warp thread.

I was packing up some stuff today as my wife has renovations starting on the house next week (I'd rather spend the money on an RS3100, obviously ) and I found an old exercise book I kept when I was building my first Capri.

I thought it might be fun to pretend the internet existed back in the late 1980's. [:p]

It started like this in August 1987 -



1969 GT 1600 with a pinto fitted and plenty of rust - $1200.

Spent months bare metaling the body, new metal was needed in both floors, fronts of both sills, A pillars, rear wheel arches and boot wells. Paid a nice Italian fellow who worked for a mates brother $800 to repair all this, working on weekends in my dads garage. And he did an awesome job!





More to come. Post yours too!

    Yah, thanks Ron for a least one reply!

    Mullet's FTW. The knitted jumper's pretty stylish too, don't you think? [:p]

    I'll post some more when I can lay my hands on some more pics.
