AREAS OF FETTLING.

Phil, that is absolutely stunning!!!
I applaud your hours of dedication to bring back this Capri to its former glory. :congrats:

A classic car for sure, well done SUPERB!!!

kind regards Kev
 
Thanks Kev

It is or rather was a mamoth task but well worth it,as only last week i reunited the 1st and only previous owner with his old favorite,and he is 90 now and brought it new in late 1969.

Great experience and rewarding.


All the best phil
 
Thanks Paul

We have an Austin Healy 3000 which is like a jigsaw puzzle at the mo and i am not going to get involved as it is a massive project
My next one is a 1600E MK2 Tina which i have a soft spot for,but must be a series one with the dash mounted clocks.

Best phil
 
B,,,,, fantastic,You should feel justifyably proud of your work,it is a pleasure to see that it was not "do just the bits you can see " job,the underneath looks as good as the top,well done,full marks for dedication,thanks for showing how it should be done,
Regards,
Don,
 
Awesome. It appears to be a proper job. Any chance of seeing under the bonnet and interior?
 
Looks like a complete shell job (no pun intended). Excellent restoration job. You haven't been watching too many Sweeney or Professional TV programs.
 
Thanks Don
All the time and effort was well worth it neadless to say i dont take her out in the rain,not if i can help it.

Thanks again
phil
 
Aye up guv guv guv your nicked LOL
All the shells i looked at were worse than mine,so with what panels i could purchase,i did and the rest was hand made or i made press tools for certains parts. Never again though,well perhaps for a little while.

Best phil
 
Well done bud, may you win many prizes at the show you go to. Puts my old BXs to shame, got 4 now.
