Some bits, such as the radiator and grille are just screwed on temporarily for moving house. I figured they would be safer that way and less likely to get lost.

Work has started on the garage at last so in a few weeks I should have the capri settled in and ready for the final fitoff.
Ive been spending heaps of dough on bits and pieces, bumpers from germany, engine parts from Burtons, a very nice set of headers with the sterling silver finish, door cards from Aldridge and all sorts of stuff from ebay.
The engine is away at the moment being machined and new cam bearings fitted.
I am reading a book on how to rewire a classic so I am prepared for what lies ahead.

FINALY! The garage is finished and Im moving in. Capri is installed and now for the run to the finish. Bout time. Woo Hoo! The first big job will be the fitting of black vinyl roof. Stay tuned.

Ive done plenty in the last two months, such as vinyl roof,all glass, headlinings, carpet and some trim. Working on the engine and gearbox and hope to fit them in the next few weeks. Some pics soon.

Looking good Ron, the vinyl roof looks excellent.

Shed looks good too.


Cheers

Very nice, Was the Capri originally sold by Bib Stillwell?
Does it have the BBS Yellow and Blue plate on the front shock tower in the engine bay?

very nice pics Ron.. But guys these photos dont do this car justice ... Its really really nice in the flesh.
Between yours and Dave(Schlutes) you have sent the benchmark for Burpengary boys to another level..

Yes Mark. In fact the guy that bought the car brand new fron Bib Stillwell in 1973 is coming round tomorrow afternoon to inspect it.
