Was this a tuner option or has someone grafted a Sierra/escort whale tail onto their capri? Either way, i kind of don't hate it... You could get an aftermarket Cossie wing for a Capri back in the day. Looking at the jaunty angle, I suspect that may not be a Capri one.

I needed to get some paint on the underside of the body so I also flashed over the body to see if there were any sanding marks showing. Aside from a couple of bits around the front it's all good.

Not absolutely certain I'd feel safe in a stationary one. 45mph sounds terrifying.

We had a very popular female biology teacher who had a Cortina Ghia in the metallic brown with brown vinyl roof that all mk4 Ghias seemed to be. She replaced that with a Fiesta Supersport.

I've just turned 50 and I still get the same buzz as I did when I was 8 when I see something old. I saw a Lotus Europa on a supermarket carpark today. It looked like it was from another planet circa 1975 or thereabouts. The roofline was about level with the bottom of the headlight of the 4x4 it was parked next to. It brought me great joy.

Pioneer CD/tuner. It worked perfectly when it was taken out of the car. I don't want anything for it so if you want it, let me know. I'm in Radcliffe M26.

The interior is now complete and I've trial fitted the body with it in place. Something is stopping it sitting quite right. This will be resolved when there isn't a border collie begging for a walk.

I think you could have anything you wanted. It's a blank canvas without having to replace every panel on a rusty old snotter first. The more I see of it, the more brilliant I think it is.

Update time. I primed and flatted the body but there were a few bits I wasn't happy with and I managed to snap the scuttle. I fixed that and reprimed it and this time I've snapped the front panel. I've fixed that so now I need to prime the front again. It may get the top coat eventually.

Are you going to make some styrene 48 IDA's? That would be great. 😃 It would but I fear it's beyond the capability of my sausage fingers. When I did this stuff as a kid I only really did ERTL AMT 3 in 1 kits so I had a big box of spares. Hence I built a BMW 635 with Boyd wheels and put the BMW wheels on a Mustang and so on. My spares pile now is none-existent. The Beetle really needs bigger wheels on the back bit it'll do.

And still the nicest forum there is. This is what I was driving at 17.

Unlike Hotwire, I don't think SM or Mr Key did anything for my education because I would much rather read car magazines than read Shakespeare, or do my maths homework.
A sad loss but a decent legacy.

Chassis is built. I'm now working on the body. It's a lovely quality moulding so it's almost a shame to attack it with 100 grit but you can't make an omelette..... What I'm aiming for is the cal look Beetle of my early teenage dreams. The only chrome will be the bumpers, window surrounds, and maybe the handles.

This sorry looking pair have been sat outside the Rolls specialist up the road from me for a while. Are they still trading? They certainly are. There's a rather lovely Corniche FHC outside most days amongst the much more common Shadows and Spirits.

Found a good quality Mk1 today, phoned about it, talked to the seller, all seems good. Arranged to go and view within the hour, then seller gone quiet on me. Didn't forward his address on to me and now wont ansewer the phone. The joys of buying used cars.

Ride height now set. Pretty much everything bar the body is painted and ready to go.

The thing with no roof or doors looks perfect for someone who lives in Bolton. The Chrysler is just perfect.
