Well done Rod..........you must have big ones to tackle that without a garage ............I know I wouldn't!
Keep up the good work and photos. All these photos of the Capri in pieces prepares us for when it's our turn ..........in the next life!

love the colour! They keep popping up (v6 capri's) - another survivor

BEE VEE
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 !

shhhhhh the misses might be reading the forum ... she has no idea on what i spent on this car 
 
shhhhh  it only cost me 3gs to build ... if your reading this honey i only spent 3gs...

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.

 
cheers
yeah i cant understand as well why they would chop the whole back to fit different lights they stuff a perfectly good beaver to fit crapy lights

i have a garage to do the work but since i was almost going thru every panel and cutting them off , grinding down the old bog etc i just didnt want to fill my garage up with all that dust and crap ,  i had the gazebo up and always kept the car covered was also lucky that didnt get much rain
ill put some more pics up just sorting thru the mountain of them

Its been really good to see this one come back to life. I'm following my V6 clone being transform (into a V8 weapon) by its new owner. I wish I had the time, money and skills to do a full resto but for now I just have to dabble and try and hold onto my cars for as long as it takes to gain at least one of the above prerequisites.

cheers

wasnt really convinced on the yellow before i painted it but since its the original color i had to do it yellow
 
but after it was painted it changed my mind i really like the yellow now
 
 
 

just on the quater panel if anybody wants to tackle replacing one its not that hard to do
 
the hardest part was trying to save the scuttle as that is also welded to the quater  but once you cut the quater open to reveal where they are welded and get easy access its not that hard joint is stepped so new quater slides under factory joint then weld back on and some lead wipping or plastic filler you wont even notice it has been replaced ..
 
i had some lead wiping bars laying about so i lead wiped it
wheel arch has couple welds not many and factory seals them and holds them on with some welds and panel  glue
which explains why they rust there ,  id say water gets trap thru some of the parts the panel glue doesnt seal properly
 
once you cut it open just near where they are welded then its not that bad to get to the welds and grind them off or drill them out just have to go easy and take the time to clean all the old welds
 
same as the sill its much easier to cut it open to get to the welds easy
 
did the A post on one side as well that was the first thing i did so trying to find them pics  for you boys  if that helps  some

well got a bit of time today so decided to fit engine and gearbox in
 

I have to do both quarters on that red one - looking forward to it - I'll get a spot welder to make it look good - yours looks ace!

you'll be right spud there not that hard to do  just cut 1 off at a time
 
 

I made a boo boo on 1 - ended up the boot opening was 5 mm odd out - so might brace it all before I start

It's looking great. Intersting how you have routed the brake lines. Using the outer mounts. All my Capris are different and I have one that has four brake lines across the heater bubble. In one of my manuals it shows that as being an option. I also have major work to do on one of mine with roof, A pillar and inner and outer sills so need to think about how I brace it while all that gets done. Won't be happy once finished if it's doors don't close.

thats how i thought the brake lines went , and as you mentioned there are few different ways and some have the extra lines etc ... i only placed them there thinking thats how it was from factory , that was 1 of only a few parts that were still on the car when i  got it so i put them back as it was
