    looking at your other projects mate, they will understand lol.

    im taking on a capri project, not so much rot, cause its all filler lol. really bad attempt at smothing in a ticford bumper and skirt kit. tempted to rip it all off and put back standard, but then again, it looks like it was drove through halfords in the 70s to see what stuck lol, i mean back window lourves ffs.

    cheers neil.
