That actually looks perfect with the original wheels on, ours was a bargin really (bought from a friend) bought for half as much as the one about with all the bling in the bay along with circa 200 horses!
I've never driven one without a strut brace, seems ok when flying around round abouts, but not had it on track yet
You still enjoying the Capri? Good to see you looking after her!

When the chap delivered it (his last drive of it) it blew the dipstick out, was a nightmare cleaning all the oil off those shiney bits

If you wanna know a bit of history mate, i bought it from an old guy about 5-6 years ago now, it had a genuine 60k on the clock, and was totally standard when i bought it with FSH. I changed the wheels, jetted the carb, and strapped the std cooler and it was running 18psi.
Then sold it to a mate of mine who absolutely killed it. Are you the 4th owner now?
Its good to see my old car, its a small world.
