What's your old toy?

[Jonny_]

My Capri - a 1986 2.0 Laser. Still a bit rough round the edges and with plenty of work still to do, but this summer it got a MOT and is now on the road for the first time in 8 years!

Since the photo was taken it's had the metal bumpers rubbed down and painted (although it'll be getting new ones , all the exterior plastics and the tyres re-blacked, and a good polish. It'll be having a full respray and the Laser decals and striping re-applied once all the mechanical work and the few remaining rust spots have been taken care of.

Thanks dude!

Got a way to go before I'm totally happy with it but it's been nice to have the old girl driveable again.

Ta! Nice of you to say, but there's a few things that I should re-do or change. Maybe in 2015...

Anyway, an extra shot. Engine bay:

Some absolute beauties on here, especially the Tivs and the GTR!

Heres my little Alfa, which I've had for around 5 years. Not too far off from where I want it now, but always further tweeks to do.

Now thinking of selling up, if theres any interest here?

Love a bit of matured pork, especially with a manual gearbox...
