I was planning on buying a 83 gti and one of my old mk4s to use as a donar car to carry out the 20v conversion myself, the price of the conversion really was high so i couldn't resist this one

I was looking at anything really as long as it was reasonably solid! There was a shell locally that looked good but it was just the shell. No engine etc! Then my brother reminded me we have got 2 capri's to play with. One is a Brooklands and the other is just a 2.0l laser  :signLOL:

Love it, you lucky so and so!  :notworthy:

When the title said "Beige" I thought NO, but that a gorgeous colour. You could eat your dinner from that engine bay it's so clean. What the interior like, can't believe it's that bad?

Ive got to say it wasnt my first choice of colour either but i love it.
Its better in the flesh and im pretty sure i will embrace the retro theme throughout the car.

It has porsche tombstone front seats and a gti rear seat so nothing matches it just generally wants tidying to

I will have them retrimmed before the show season though just got to decide what colour etc
