Sorry if this isn't posted properly. I'm not real good with any of this forum stuff. Thought I'd share pictures of my 1991 Capri. Just a plain old Capri, non-turbo, stick. Wheels are from a Nissan 200SX.

This is posted on our website page from an event. Just scroll halfway down to see the car.

If you have any questions, just e-mail me at larrythephoenix@yahoo.com because I don't make it back here very often.

Thanks, Barry D

C'mon now!! This was a budget racer project. I bet I don't have $2k in the whole thing. Good gas mileage car with just a couple bugs that needed worked out.

I love the paintjob. Though I'd wonder why an american flag as opposed to an aussie flag because it's an aussie car

OK:

Here's a story for two of you on this thread.

In 2003, on my way back from ABQ, NM, I had a smog pump seize on our old Flag Truck and I had to stay the night in Olathe, KS until the next a.m. Then I was able to get a Serpentine Belt to bypass the pump and head beack to PA.

So, whose going to paint an Australian Flag across their  Capri????

Whoa! Enter that sucker in a car show NOW!!!

I do agree at the oddity it is for an italian designed, japanese enginered, austrailian built car, has an american flag for a paint job. But I guess that can be argued with "americas a melting pot"
