these are awesome! seen a fake wood panelled one around at shows... just had a quick search and found a hummer front end conversion is quite popular lol and URAS tunings example... google seems to be saying 4x100 pcd on the alloys so the world's your oyster!

Just picked it up faultless drive back . Top of the range cd player left in the car to boot and 4 15inch alloys with tyres as well. Like the Hummer conversion but also like the waltburg type mis match front it now sports.

You have first refusal Mr Laws though this ones is suposed to be a keeper till the capri is finished though progress on that has slowed since I had re paint and re floor my flat. Will get a picture of it next to the RR and crv when its cleaned up so you can see just how stupid small it is You are right about me and cars tbh I don t even really drive em as I just use my van. Only kept the Carpi so long because I sort of forgot I had it after it had sat in the garage for 4 years waiting for new rear springs to be fitted we carred away and now full on resto is on but am really enjoying it. Will get a thread on here for the Capri and/or it when I get some good pictures and or anything gets done ! .

Are they really as rare as less that 10 in the UK? Hi, I used to own the Rasheen that tonmawrtiki has, I used to take note of ones I saw on Ebay and the like. I counted 38 or so. Congratulations on your purchase!

I absolutely love these!
Yours is the best colour too
So do we get to see the pic of the top of the range stereo you found in the boot?

So do we get to see the pic of the top of the range stereo you found in the boot? post was supposed to say "too boot" but the stereo is fitted in the car its a jvc thing with usb thing and lots of lights and something about DAB (i know nothing about car audio) its about the first car I have every bought that has come with anything more than a whole with wires Will get picture but in reality its probably not that amazing. I liked the colour as well its faded to that its a lot more yellow in the door shuts. When we looked at the car my wife said "its a horable colour, weird looking and got wind deflecters are even going to bother with the test drive its so you" great cars, pass one on my way to work every day, mod the hell out of it Inspired by your very cool Pao I'm on it thinking of a mono chrome Japanese rising sun flag (bit like the BMW minis sport on the roof) depends on how much time I get over the weekend as project zetec Capri is taking up alot of time what colour is the one you see on the way to work
