For some reason, for the last 6 months or so i have really badly wanted a Mk1 Capri to restore and put some stupid sized american v8 in with a mahoosive blower and copious amounts of nitrous. 1000bhp anyone?

Something along the lines of this but with a blower and cowl ontop.

Also fancy a dash full of autometre gauges, welded up doors (hell yea) and a mental cage with a single kirky seat.

Paint it in a deep Kandy red with a black vinyl roof....

Anyone want to lend me £30k to get it done??

Anyone else have these random urges?

Would be amazing to do, my dad has an MGTD that he lovingly restored, he has owned it for years tho, just needs a good polish and get me insured on it for summer :A:

I'm helping my misses bro, redo his mini!

But it bites!

Made one person loose a finger nail (went black and horrible then fell off) when changing the rear subframe.

Then it tried to blind me when I was bleeding the rear brakes!
