Hi all, just wanted to share some pics of my capri. I've owned it for about 6 months and am slowly moulding it into my baby! Let me know what you think!  When I first got my hands on her  And now with the new wheels!  Got the exhaust on last week, never heard anything so beautiful. Been driving with the music low and windows down ever since! ![]() a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426835_2904976756162_1612805767_2522374_2022181023_n.jpg[/img] Big booty.  Got the twin weber on there aswell now. This weekend I'm dropping a 2 litre in it with a 5 speed box! exciting times I have 2 inch drop springs for the front waiting to go on and thinking of removing the moulding and bumpers for a respray, any ideas on a colour? |

Yeah, looks great as it is, leave the bumpers. The black looks great against the white paint. I'd leave the side strips as well, really suits the car! All the best with it! |

Ah hello mate! Good to see you've popped up here, really liking this at the moment. I think as well with a pretty clean car bumpers look good.

Hello,
nice Capri, leave it as it is. Very good looking.
I have a black Mk3 sitting in my garage since a while, can't wait to take it out for a ride, but this will take some moons to pass....
cheers

Love it. But I'd say keep the mouldings and bumpers.... just go lower!
White and black theme looks great, especially when so original apart from stance and wheels.

wondering if anyone can help me. I need a workshop manual for my mk3 capri! brake lights, indicators, heater, rev counter and petrol gauge don't work but the hazards work and the rev counter when you do over 6k revs and the ignition light comes on but really bright! wonder if any of you could shed some light on the situation! thanks

this may sound odd, but check that the engine is earthed properly since your engine swap. I had this with an old nissan sunny after a gearbox change...
ta,
