Default The Frozen Capri

this was my daily for 4 years, but now its my project car, was a bit of a shed when i first got it, was a 2ltr laser to begin with, with grotty fibercrap wings and generally shabby condition, over 4 years i had it re-sprayed (Frozen White, hence the name ), interior re-trim, fitted a 2.1 on bike carbs (after blowing up my original) banded steels etc etc, here are some pics from a retro ford feature it had last year:













and my fave pic:



since the feature it has undergone a few changes...

got one of these:



and put it in here:



needed to make custom engine mounts, gearbox crossmember, exhaust, FMIC mounts, rad mounts, hoses, alter g-box tunnel etc etc to get to this



and added a front spoiler to give it a more agressive look



sadly the turbo went pop and sent metal through the engine, so its a little bit dead at the mo! saving up to buy another s13 to rob the engine from and swap it over
