I believe the Capri was in answer to my first car: 1969 Triumph TR6. Cost me 3k, an absolute fortune in 1986.

Rebuilt the engine, the diff, suspension, all with racing parts and body off. All done myself in a friend's garage. Electric overdrive in 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I must have put $1,500 into that car!
Still have it, but neglected for the past 10 years or so due to family, job, etc.
It looked very much like this one in it's heyday.

1977 AMC Gremlin, 232 CI, 3-speed manual.

Don't laugh, this thing was fast! And it survived high school! I sold it for $50, the new owner had to drive it away in 2nd gear...

Suzuki Samurai. Thing only did 40mph when I got it, took a week of driving it down a hill to get it to do 60mph. And it loved to fish tail, luckily I never hit anything or one in it.

Haha good one! Technically I had the Honda before that bike, but come to think about it, my first car was a bicycle before I could drive.

Billup · 06-17-2015, 05:44 PM

Damn, I don't have any pictures of my EK hatchback anymore. BOO.

This is my second car, if it counts for anything.

Mr Tonka · 06-17-2015, 09:02 PM

This thread got me going though some old pictures and lookie what i found. I was using track wheels and had not made the clear corners yet. This was at from a track day at Sebring. It's hard to see, but i made that rear wing out of aluminum and foam. Shaped the high density foam into an air foil, wrapped it with aluminum, used flush mount rivets to to fasten everything. Made the angle of the wing adjustable as well. And you have to remember that this was in 1993, so big wings weren't in vogue just yet.

Plus i just mounted it for track days. The increased downforce was immense. Turns out the wing was a bit to large for that vehicle.

Same day after i got home.

I even found pics of my second car and my first bike!! Thanks to this thread! Taken 1996
