ok boys had bit of time this morning so thought id try get my pics together and post the journey
brought this as it was a number matching capri and the only thing it had going for it
started with this  looked half ok untill you dug deeper the whole left side was bogged up  and was pretty thick on there .. so off came the quater , sill , front fender,  rear beaver , front valance only good panel was the right quater panel
 
the car was brought from some bloke up central coast
he thought it was in better shape but it was pretty bad told me half the pics the bloke sent him were selected pics didnt show the real nature and condition
 
after i seen it and checked it out forgot what use to go bad on em and the memory of owning one when i was a wjipper snapper 
 
 i thought what the hell and took over the project and bought it ,,,
 
 

 

 these pics he sent me
 
i have pics scattered everywhere on the panels and different stages so ill fix the pics up along the way once i go thru the mountain of them and upload them
 
this is how it stands at the moment
 
 
 
 
 
its at this stage at the moment and few things have been put on

i ended up after quite some time searching  buying parts everywhere ..some parts came  off a few members on here as well which i appreciate very much and had great help from you boys in where to source parts etc ..
quater panels , sill panels , beaver panel , valance panel , bonnet ,  bumper's , interior , gt wheels, etc etc long list of spares  i brought ...
 
im just waiting on the pics to upload got that many may take a week to sort them but just posted a couple i ahd uploaded already

its supposed to be the original color off the plate yellow glo
went thru couple samples youd be amazed on how different  yellow glow can be from different paint suppliers..
 

Looking good Rod.............wish I had time to do same to my "Wild Plum" GTV6, but with 19 cars, I have to spread the love very thinly !...........and then there's the wife(#20) that always wants more than a 1/20th !

here  is quater panel after i remove all the bog

 
quater was like bondi beach wavey as so off with the quater
 

the factory joint

linning up new quater

 
and the beaver panel before i replaced it looks like somebody tried to fit datsun or the old ltd ford lights
 
 

lining up new front secondhand fenders and bonnet
 

 

I don't know why anyone would change to larger rear lights. Whenever I see them on a Capri I want to throw up. You've done a great job with the rear quarter. It's funny how many of them are still around. Front valance and guards and bonnets are like Unobtanium. Although expressed steel panel now sell new front guards at 1500 pounds each I think and a hole range of new panels like A pillars.
The real fun now starts for you so hope you enjoy from now on but remember patience as you bolt it all back together.
