Wasn't it an orange chassis that Mark "noticed" wasn't perfect?

Either way, thats a nice looking car mate...

I wouldn't worry about the bad vibes to be honest Gaz.
There will always be someone somewhere who has a different opinion to you, whether it is voiced in a LOUD way, A La CalvinX (Mark) or in a behind the back way - Just as long as you build the car that YOU want and it turns out the way that YOU want then thats all that matters!

where did you get the cage, is it custom made or bought

I can see me dragging my mk's sorry ass back into the garrage and it's your fault

could you make sure there are a lot of pictures of it in your archives for reference.

mandbsheldon - 24/12/07 at 12:38 PM

The Capri looks fantastic - it takes me back to my youth!! Keep up the good work and have a great Christmas!!!

perfect, cheers

just been looking at your archive, amazing how much the chassis has changed, I have one of the first ones and it's nothing like yours.

CraigJ - 24/12/07 at 01:00 PM

saw this car in the flesh the other month at the yorkshire meet in Ackworth. I was really impressed.

It looks fantastic.


TimC - 24/12/07 at 02:42 PM

Had to have another look - can't wait to get mine home now. How much free advertising do the likes of us give Gulf!?


Mark G - 24/12/07 at 02:48 PM

mad gaz - 24/12/07 at 02:54 PM

An MK in Class B RGB?

Should be interesting.


bassett - 30/12/07 at 12:31 AM

I cant believe you'd sell that the car looks immaculate. Can i also ask how you went about painting the cam cover? cheers

[Edited on 30/12/07 by bassett]


mad gaz - 30/12/07 at 09:37 AM

the engine covers are powdercoated


zxrlocost - 30/12/07 at 11:40 AM

worth its money all day infact a smart looking 7 is worth triple its selling amount if you ask me

80% of that reason is because take yesterday drove into the town centre to get some cash

parked up no sooner had I stopped loads of people looking at the car camera phones etc

chatting to me asking questions etc etc

they wouldnt even go to that much effort for a 100 grand car maybe a little look thats it!!

good luck with the sale gaz
