2litreScapri Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 A lot of work was done last year on the drivers side to get the car in better condition, most people will have seen me at pretty much most of the shows & meets with the car. These are some of the pics in progress....
2litreScapri Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 And the finished product I then went out & bought a new set of mk2 alleycat replica wheels on 205/60 Toyos And since then it's just used as a daily. Should be going in for more work very soon. 2
classicwhitey Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 looking good mate, i sore it at the Jolly in the summer. every time i see yours i think its mine lol
2litreScapri Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Posted January 9, 2017 A lot of stuff has happened since I updated this thread. Winter 2016 saw further restoration done on it, passenger side, roof, replaced the bonnet with a solid one, painted etc etc. Most people will have seen it at meets & shows across the South East. I'll upload resto pics but this is the finished results from Hanworth show summer last year. Have been truly happy with the results, and apart from the headgasket going after I got it back, it's been a blast to drive & enjoy. Looking forward to show season this year! 1
colr6 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Certainly well worth the effort, looks great

2litreScapri Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Posted April 25, 2018 Whoops haven't updated this thread for a while. Last year the gearbox ate the layshaft gear & the rest of the gearbox, so that was rebuilt by OldSkoolFord. After that I took it to Speyer in Germany for a Capri show, then Lincolnshire for a Capri photoshoot with the Lancaster Bomber, and was used reguarly. I got a different job in August last year & my spare time got used up & wasn't using the Capri as train commute cheaper. It's suffered over the winter, but job finished & back on it for summer 2018. Have ordered some new window frame trim from East Kent as the drivers side has perished, but just going out & enjoying it! 1
stephens_xpack Posted May 6, 2018 Report Posted May 6, 2018 Always nice to see another Capri looking awesome and saved from an almost certain scrap death if in someone else's hands - good work. You hoping to make any shows this year?
