dilemma
I just bought another capri. ( If one capri is good, two must be better right? Or 10?)
Its a 70 1600 deluxe manual paint code 6 and black trim.
My original plan was to cut it up and sell all the bits after taking what I wanted. But now its home I can see that the shell is remarkably good, no major hits and no rust in the a pillar turret to sill area, this would be an easy restore.
This is like having a pet chook that you want to give the chop but just cant bring yourself to do it.
What is wrong with me and what should I do?[:I]

Nothing wrong with a 4cyl capri as a resto project, I'm currently doing one now.
On the other hand, the humble 1600 deluxe is already acting as a donar car for many V6GT rebuilds, simply because the availability of panels is low for many people. I need to find a good donor car for my V6, and if you did bring yourself to cut yours up, I'd be interested in much of what you had left over.
Cheers
Jamie
