> Project : steering

got my hands on an oldskool steering wheel, ideal for the look i was going for



dont know what car it came off, so it had to be adapted to fit the capri spline



mk1 cortina steering wheel boss



pulled off the old wheel



drilled the studs off the wheel, and tapped new holes onto the boss, bolted everything together with allen key bolts.



wheel fitted, made a ford badge to fit in the hooter recess

> Project : exterior

most of the trim was on the car, so on went the fender badges to finish off the standard trim





i was inspired by the chin spoilers from racing capris, so i decided to make my own.
made up a metal frame that will mount to the body



i bought a MK1 golf chin spoiler, this will be cut down and attached to the frame.



the ends had to be reshaped to match the capri panel



frame fiberglassed to spoiler, will now be sent for satin black paint.
