	Awesome mate looks the beez neez. It didnt used to have all sorts of 90's curse word all over it did it? I have a Classic Ford Mag of old and it has a capri that looks just like that but it has yelow things all over it, rocker cover same colour with the exhuast wrap and filter. Had rubbish oval clear side repeaters and yellow round the dials. Think it had a front spoiler too. Anway, it looks great now if it was and err.. if it wasnt!

	put some wheels with some dish back on it, them ones don't suit it all. car looks in good nick though.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

	plans are new rear diff, gearbox and a few toys in the engine bay to play with. not sure what i want to do yet engine wise, just a bit of smartening up to do, like theres a little bit of rust on the front lower bumper, thats it. maybe a turbo tail when i find one . ermmm, keep it more standard. p.s. I'm looking for some 15" deep dish revolutions, but money doesnt permit . i do want the bigger wheels as wide 13" tyres are getting more and more expensive and harder to get ahold of

	BMW M3 headlights fitted and groooooved brakes the reason for the BMW 3sieres headlights is because they are projector type headlamps, can be modified to fit the capri, and with washer jets for the lights, make a nice legal HID set of lights for the capri, as the normal lights are curse word but ill keep you posted on how well they lights do as they are compared to the std capri ones, as it only took me 1 afternoon (4 hours) to swap the lights over

	ish, the baseplate to the lights needed to be largened slightly after cutting the origional bmw brackets off the lights. and the wiring needs to be wired up, as i say took me 4hrs messing round with an angle grinder soldering iron and some insulation tape capri headlight BMW headlight, as you can see its deeper and wider, but that doesnt cause much of a problem. take the lights out cut the brackets off cut the baseplate out approx 2mm all around and a little notch for the sidelight and fit (this way uses the origional capri ajusters for the headlight alignment so the alignment will be correct when fitted) then wire up the plugs easy

	I just noticed you said "with a bit of modding", and yet I asked were they a straight fit anyway. What a fool I am. Ah, but you're class lad, thanks for the wee guide.

	welcome if your thinking of doing it it cost me £20 plus i got 2 spare main beam bulbs and 2 spare sidelight bulbs free (with the lights from the scrappers) so as the price of bulbs go it was a 90% free swap lol. thanks, the oz's MIGHT be coming off, sick of them clipping the mudflaps on full lock and ripping them off their brackets when going over a bump round a corner.
