thats looks amazing.

But then the same as VND said, an auto v8 capri? takes all the fun out of it.

I know you said your lazy and cant be bothered to do the F7P conversoin, but surely your not lazy enough to not be bothered to change gear :lol:

Stop all the negativity, autos can be cool for wafting around in :)

Looks like you know what you're doing man, good luck with the 340. Slam and get some nice banded steels on it. These ugly things can look very smart when done right.
