Well with the old capri stripped out inside with not to much suprises i actually find it is in a lot better condition than most.
A well looked after car in its day and has had a lot of repairs to the body in its life,and its realy a case of decide what to repair again or to leave,but there is some issues with the front floor pans and chassis out riggers which i will re manufacture myself and make the gusset pressings on the fly press.
The outer sills and the inners sills are mint which is a bonus for a capri
so now i am stripping undersill prior to sandblasting and welding.
once the whole body is in bare metal then it can be etch primed and stone gaurded underneath and that to will go into the cars colour.
Engine and gear box will remain standard as i have decided to keep this car
absolutely factory due to the long ownership of the previous owner
1972 to 2005.
All i might do is unlead the head stick a four branch manifold on and twin 40s to make it a bit grunty:smile:.
