Hello mate, sorry for the slow reply, but no thanks, i want this one to stand out, and not be like 'the norm', but thanks for the offer!

Small(ish) update for today, got this little lot on Friday(minus the sierra)...

so obviously, the first job was to SLAM the capri, as low as it could go without scrubbing....

...and it stayed like that for atleast 2/3 hours when i decided i ws bored of it, so out came the engine, and in went something a bit more 'beefy'....

...and next on the list was some new wheels/stance, and after a few hours playing around, it ended up like this...

I love it tbh! It now lives in my 'garage' diorama (will be improved when i can afford it)...



And aswell as them, remember this..?

well, i got bored of that, so i had a play about with it, and, although it's a LONG way from being finished, this is what i have so far....(i need a windscreen and doorcards for this, if anyone has any, please get in touch)

It's going all stripped out, bucket seats/harnesses, some slight stickerbombing, BDA Power, and pepperpots with grippy tyres!
And 2 more standard models, both blue jeeps(well, one's a pickup..)!


Thanks for looking!
