Default crystal green capri 2.0GL

Bought this car back in january, original owner had stored the capri undercover sixteen years ago with the intention of restoring it and over the years had been buying parts for the resto, new wings,running gear ect
deceided it was too big a project so sold the car on.
car was stripped down needed two new wings and a bonnet and very little welding rear valance and some welding to front car was duly painted in original crystal green and the hood and head lining re-done all the running gear was taken off and underside treated all the new bits were then added
car is now running an un leaded head, with kn filter, acu-spark, and silicone hoses needed a new rad strut brace was fitted along with a beige ghia interior froma mercury capri went with re-furbished ghia wheels also, hope you`s like the end result
