it hasnt had a complete resto rob,its had a front wing put on it before i bought it,and as far as i can tell the rest of the panels and paint are original,ive spent all winter doing things like fitting new bumpers,new brakes,ignition,exhaust downpipes,new brooklands wheels,putting the original stereo back in and basically cleaning parts as i went.
not got much left to do to it,im going to have the radiator cowling powdercoated and the steering wheel re trimmed again as it would finish the whole interior off nicely,think im going to leave these jobs till next winter...when its sat in the garage for 6 months doing nothing!!

thanks for all your kind comments people!

Looking nice. Like the mean look of the Capri. My Dad had a White 2.8 Special years ago.

Did sound nice.

Looks great, me and my brother have had a few over the years. I think Nimbus is probably the best colour although i did like my graphite one. I like mine just a touch lower than yours other than that i think its spot on.
