Being new here I though I would post some pics of my recently finished Capri build.


























I built the car with a tuned 3.9 V8 and mods to bring the best out of the car , when I was young my brothers pal had a singal yellow 2.0 S and that is what made me fall in love with Capri's. When I came to build this car is was on his car that I basis my build

 

really looking good . like the engine choice

is that a laguna splitter fitted and if so was it a hard job ?

 

nice job, and nice car, and nice seats,
have you any more pics ?
How old are you if i may ask ??

 

Cheers

No the Lauguna spolier is really easy to fit , start in the middle and drill and rivet till you get to the corner, taker a few small angle cuts , I gave it a bit of heat from a hairdrier and bend and riveted as I went , then just trimed the excess.

Mines is the plain one , the RT one has a wee vent in it but they are really common now so I just went for the plain one .

It gives the car the apperance of being lower too

 

Cheers for the kind words ,
yeah ive got loads of pics of her in the build stages , not so many since she been finshed lol

Ohh and I'm 34

Heres some more pics I took one night while just out for a wee drive








The light was setting in these pics so she looks alot more orange than she actually is

nice build looks great,
i have always liked the capri and hope to have one one day but having looked at some prices recently i just cant afford it... gutted

 

looks very nice .were did you get your seats done

 

very nice,seen this over on capri power.My dad as a signal yellow 1978 3.0s.Bet it sounds like a TVR.

 

love the colour! sets it off and just looks so good! i miss my old capri

 

It seems that everyone old enought to know what a Capri is loves them.

New Ford cars are loads better but they judt dont have any soul IMO

 

The interior was done by RM upholsters in fife, I was really pleased with the end result

 

Not seen this around, looks really good

 

nice job did you do all the work on it

 

i hate 2 say it but thats a nice capri to the fish net recaros to engine choice and colour and i'v never liked capri's im more a mk1 escort / cortine person me self

 

It was on the road in july and August then I broke the gearbox and its been off the road since ,

Yeah I did all the work myself except the re trim.

 

the hat is of to you girl top work there well done

 

Cheers , it was a lot of hard work and I lost inclination to do anymore but glad I got it finished,

Getting too old for this stuff now though hahah

 

At 34 i dont think so im 40 and i will still be playing with cars till the day i go in my box

 

Thats one sweet Capri, cool hairy helper to.

 

lol , he comes to help in the garage , he is such a sweetie .

I'm just getting too old for full resto's . just dont have the energy anymore

I had plans for a saph rebuild but I dont just know if I can be bothered

 

That is lovely and i`m jealous......

I`ve had 11 Capri`s over the years including a nearly new 280 and a Tickford and i`m getting the bug back again




I`ve been feeling a bit like that recently, but a nice bit of sunshine(If we get a summer ) will soon fix that i reckon

 

nice looking car.

My pooch just runs of with my tool's.

 

He is cool just wants to lie under the car with you , doesnt like the welding helmet much though ,

My yellow lab has destroyed 3 snap on screw drivers and has a passion for eye protectors too ,

 

nice car love the old skool stuff

 

spot on mate looks lovely!!

 

looks great that does, I'd love a capri

 

Top job just sold my capri last year,after 20 years of owernship. nice to see a good un ,

 

very good i used to have a bright yellow 2.0 s capri on a s reg must have been a early one i had on a s likeing yours

 

Cracking motor Anna, but you know what I think already. Cant wait till its back on the road so that I can get another shot x

 

And what about the car

 

Tis indeedy a excelent from your hard work, don't know about the too old bit I'm 44, me dad's got a xr4i with 4L TVR EFI lump, and he's 70!!
I think mad rod is the fastest old person though, bloody good luck to him I say.
Must admit never been a capri fan, but see a few around and getting to like them a bit, mate has a black 2.8i on a b reg that hasn't moved for 10 years, was immaculate before lay up.

nice car ,well done on the rebuild as well girl

 

Like Simon Cowell I'll say I don't really go for yellow as a rule.................................but it just works on Capris and Escorts IMO
Nice job you've done there

 

Loving This..
