MY current capri project

I bought the car in 2002 for £250 and have since spent an ever increasing amount of money on it, a year ago I decided to bite the bullet and as I had made a few contacts and friends in the right circles I booked it in for an engine rebuild but as things went on we found more and more things causing problems (rust mainly) and it turned into a bit of a nightmare. I really have a thing for classic motors so I pushed on and volunteered my services after work and at the weekends. It has been a long road but things are starting to come good and I am hoping to have it all finished for the show at the end of June. Unfortunately I cannot afford a respray and all the work besides so please excuse the mismatching panels.

It did look quite good

I have fitted some new gauges in the cluster. I've been a bit optamistic on the speedo though lol.

I have got some 2 1/4 inch exhaust from a V8 drag racer fitted.

To these tail pieces

I found this bonnet up the workshop and talked him into trying to fit it onto mine.

well i finally have the axle back started putting it back in sunday and found that two spacers have gone missing from the shock mounts:-( so now i have to make some new ones but not the end of the world. I have rerun the solid fuel line under the carpet inside and rewired the fuel pump slowly but surely the many many jobs are getting done.
