The MK3 Crapi.<\/p>\n

Bought in May 2005 for \u00a350, it had no front wings, rot in the strut top mounts, no bumpers and would rather stall than rev.
Sourcing wings was more trouble than I had imagined. But they turned up in the end and after a few short weekends worth of work the car was looking solid. Then interest and bad wether got the better of us..<\/p>\n

I gave it a new set of ignition componenets and set the timing up and it ran a lot better, the car was bolted back together… And then my mate decided he needed his garage back to put a MK1 golf in..<\/p>\n

A few weeks later the car went to a new owner in exchange for another Sierra ( Car 15 ). And so my brief foray into Capri own\"\"<\/a>ership was over, I had only driv\"\"<\/a>en it about 50 yards! \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
