i had a 4cyl capri (crapie) in screaming yellow - purchased it not running - had a cracked head.
fixed it the next week - drove it for a month to get everything working, and got rid of it before something broke....
my friend had a 6cyl version w/5sp (i think it was 5) - ran well. but he drove it in a snow storm, and that was the end of that.

looked like this. weird lines.

Plymouth Cricket is a rebadged Hillmam- British

Le Mans is a race in France

The Fiero rear suspension is from the the Chevy Citation which uses Chapman struts- British design

Capri designed in Britain and built in Germany

Would have been cheaper to back pack Europe and get it out of your system :)
 
A friend of mine drove one of those Crapis back in the 80's; that's what he called it too back then.
He also had an original 240Z, THAT was a fun car to drive and would be nice to have now ( if it hasn't rusted away to a pile of crumbs by now.)
 
Need a little help here. The new wheels dont have a thread how do I swap this or do I need something else.
The 2ns picture is the new wheel/hub

i mod'd one of the 240s for a customer - threw out the two weber carbs, and replaced it with a holly 4bbl -
quickened it up quite a bit. sounded better too. probably cause there was no place for the egr ?
yeah, they rusted away even if they weren't driven.

geez, i can't find any of my old pics. maybe at my parents'

here's a pic of my Dad's CVCC after being rear ended....i replaced the bumper with some flattened out coke cans that i purchased at the parts store.
1975ish? i think i had my permit at the time cause i remember driving it legally.. at least i think i was.

i have that extra piece - it seems to go over the threaded end? it can't be pulled off or unscrewed, yet is is spinning free of everything else.

a little gritty when this close - guess a bath is coming..
 
I was out on the paulinskill/sussex branch trail this afternoon, and can confirm that its a sloppy mess. Can't think Mooch will be much better. Maybe REAL early if its cold enough?
