That's utterly awesome, well done.
The Mk2 is my favourite Capri so it's good to see one getting some love.
I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Agree with RFCrisps, that is fairly hideous. However I love it!!!! I'm glad you're gonna extend its life a bit, looks like its teetering on the edge of oval/weighbridge based oblivion. I'd love it! You should buy it. I'd only end up looking at it/aimlessly removing parts from it/selling it to you. It is truly hideous though, and as such it needs to be preserved - clearing out Epping Forest from the passenger foot-well won't be fun, mind. Chris

To me... ..and that's all that matters. I could stare at it for hours, in fact I sometimes do. I could go for a stereotypical image of a flash car from Google, but that would be dishonest. Beauty is within the eye of etc, etc... Chris

Right,
Morley is back, we're up to full speed and everything is falling back into place.
I'm in Portugal on the WRC until Monday, but when I get back I will make this a priority and get a date sorted.
Sorry for the delay gang, it's been a busy few months!

Having read this again I have decided to have a go myself, but I'm going to keep it within the confines of my filler cap! I'm reasonably arty so I should get away with it...hopefully.
Well done again though, it's inspirational stuff!

Do you mean the Harrier that Revs had and painted orange with TSW Hockenheim wheels? (another Jim production!) Chris yep that's the one pollitt someone mentioned it on ts somewhere back last year I think & it was mentioned that's it's still about..... in what condition or what it looks like god only knows... ;D Done some digging, this was it in 2006...

I like pointing out to Jim how much Harriers are worth these days. That said, he just mentioned that they only gave around £200 for it. Good that it's still about though, I always liked that car. Chris

I THINK that mk2 escort project that Retro Cars done in orange when they first started out is still about somewhere. Do you mean the Harrier that Revs had and painted orange with TSW Hockenheim wheels? (another Jim production!) Chris

Ha! I'm currently sat here in Portugal with Jim Blackstock who worked on Max Power when this car was built. The shocked reaction he provided when I showed him the eBay advert was rather amusing - I'm not sure he anticipated it would live this long! "I've had weekends away in that" he told me...might be wise to give it a valet in that case. Chris

An Audi RS badge? Shame on you Mr Bizzle.
Other than that though, it's a pretty thing. Very pretty. The mk2 Cortina is one of those cars that I really must own one day.
I've seen one very similar being flung around Redhill a few times, always on full chat! Maybe that's where it went?

Well, it's been in daily use for a few weeks now and so far everything has been hunky-dory. She runs sweet, she's not too bad on fuel (for an aircraft carrier) and wafting along in this has to be one of the most pleasant ways of travelling. I love it. Best £200 I've spent in a long time. I'm off to Portugal for a few days now, so the old girl will have to sit in Long Stay at Gatwick for a a bit. Once I get back though, there will be new trim, badges, tyres and of course, lows to address. Until then, peace out! Chris

Nice to see another on here. We could start our own forum, such are the numbers of W126 300SEs on here!
I'm deeply envious of your mileage by the way!
