Sitting in a pub, suddenly this.

Here is how I want it to look later :)

I'm sure some of you know the back story, somewhat of a love affair. I've had a thing for the little Suzuki ever since Gran Turismo 4, after finding the little car with the name of a drink I though it was funny. Turns out it was a great giant killer in the game as well. I took an interest in the thing, looking up random facts, info, dreaming how I'd like one IRL, eventually getting obsessed with the thing. The year's went by and the Gran Turismo games came out, firing my love up again. Every so often I'd look and see if any were for sale, which being a rare car in the UK makes them kinda hard to come by at times. As the years go by and life go's on I was always on the lookout. When finally able to drive and with a proper job things got even more real and the hunt to get one got fired up even more, looking at about 4 over the past 2 & a bit years traveling all over (one trip alone was 1200 miles altogether!). Then on April 2nd, my I get a text from my dad, saying "Theres a coffee for sale on Pistonheads, its local". After finding it I could't get over that one was finally for sale locally and going cheap. Low mileage and some welding needed, seemed too good to be true! After messaging the guy and asking to have a look I had to wait 3 weeks(guy worked on the oil rigs). The day comes and we got to have a look, bodywork is good & expected from a 20 year old car and it runs sweet, and has a full history and EVERYTHING is there. Oh and it was an original UK car. It has't been on the road since 2008 and needed a bit of welding. I took the risk and bought it for £1450. Good price considering the mileage (36k miles) and the fact that it could need the full works in terms of welding(a normal cappuccino thing). You normally pay about £2500 for one, and that's with double the miles and it could still need welding. [ATTACH]20229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]20230[/ATTACH] So after years I finally own a Cappuccino, pleased as punch you could say. :cool: After getting it moved to a garage to give it and MOT and work on the Sills, my worst fear is confirmed and it need's welding on all the normal places a expected on a Cappuccino. Can't say i never expected it, but a little gutted to say the least. But it's nothing in the grand scale of things, I half expected it and it'll be getting done! [ATTACH]20231[/ATTACH] Just a few of the bits... So watch this space! As I know exactly what I'm doing to it. Be worried, this pint sized motor has't gotten named after James dean's 550 for nothing! ;)

Just finishing setting up my FSX back up so you can be sure of some shots over the next couple of days! Really starting to like the visuals and got it running smoother than i ever have! *Drools*

Ill try to take another shot at it. I appreciate criticism. Because NOTHING is really perfect. Thanks man.

Did some multiplayer videos with live commentary, since it's been quite a while since I've done any. NOTE: A few portions were 4x faster to fit everything within my 15 minute upload limit. First time with this car. Was an okay run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAPldMXePps People are *way* too aggressive at times, especially early in a race... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaMiDCEwpaU Oh well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbjVD52xyjQ
