The blue one i think is what they call the MG Midget. Its like a smaller version of the MGB GT. I grew up in the 70's early 80's as a kid. My dad got promoted at work and got a Mk1 Ford Capri 1.6 in metalic brown. It was a 2 door, 4 seater coupe with a long bonnet or hood. He later had it resprayed in gold with a brown vinyl roof and plastic wheel trims. It caught fire one day on the drive and the fire brigate had to put it out lol. God he loved that thing so much he wouldn't let the insurance company write it off and he had it repaired. The Iraqi and Iranian lads who were at college over here and rented the house from our neighbour next door, had a white MGB convertible just as the Iran/Iraq war started and i remember my grandmother who was visiting, sat at the back of this MG and took her for a spin in it. Im a grandad myself now and ive got a 1998 911 in silver with red leather. Its got 19's, skirts, kit etc and a big bore racing exhaust. Its a bit different than the Capri but back then the Capri was cutting edge. It was the first car built with running gear fitted to a shell, as regards to shell on chassis. It was basically known as the British or European Ford Mustang. They even did a V6 3ltr version and the police used a 2.8 V6 as a highway patrol car. Old cars are basically works of art unlike today. I cant tell the difference between a Merc, a Toyota or a Ford, they all look the same to me. Have fun mate, its great to see people keeping these cars alive. 👍 🇬🇧

Nice toy

Did you weld the inner and outer arches together at the rear when you cut the lip out for clearance. Those flares look great
