The "Subject" may be a little bit miss-leading ?, After 14 years of lying in storage in my parents garage this car has finally come out of hiding and now resides where it can be brought back to a road worthy condition. This car was last registered in 1997 in Victoria (IXL-457) and belonged to a another member of this forum. The plan is to give the car a thorough mechanical physical and just go from there, Apart from dull paintwork the car doesnt appear to have suffered greatly from the forced hibernation (Married/Children/Mortgage/Renovations) the usual familiar story. There is no dead line for this project, I just wanted to let Capri Club Members (VIC & NSW) know that this vehicle is still in relatively the same condition as when they knew it, And it didn't become a 1/4 mile drag racer, or end up as a donor car for another rebuild, or worse

Good to see that you haven't forgot'n about it. i cant wait to see back on the road, i was only talking about it with a couple of victorian's down at small ford Sunday. i have to say that the wheels do nothin for it, i wounder where they went. O

i just found a pic of the car in front of our house with the old owner, i was still at school. O

Hey Owen, Maybe I can go one better, Here's the magazine article when it appeared in "Performance 4's and Rotaries" circa 1994 !

Ah ha! It is the same car!!! I have that magazine and to this day it remains one of my all time favourite Capris. Great to see it is still around and being revived. Looking forward to seeing its progress.

I remember that car floating around Geelong??? Never forget those plates, as my GT cortina wore GT1601 :)

Woz

righto!!!!!!! lol

put the right wheels back on it!
put the quarter bumpers back on it - they were custom!
the front chin spoiler is missing!
the old half cage seems to be missing
the black door handles have been changed?

not a fan of the full silver grille either!

I remember a young O being taken for a 'little spin' around Sydney when he was just a wee school boy in this car

All I can say is it is about bloody time!

the front chin spoiler is missing!- Owen Currently has the Spoiler for a template
the old half cage seems to be missing - Half Cage is still installed
the black door handles have been changed? - Don't remember changing the Door Handles ?
