hopefully have organised a guy to work on them for me wiggy - to get some finished! He starts next Monday ....
 
nice capri's seem to come up regularly enough (despite people telling me they are thin on the ground - The brown 4 cyl on ebay looks a nice car - 6k, a nice gxl on trademe - 7k - a good buy and now a v6 on gumtree in perth - a good restorer - 13k - theyre out there! Did that white rs3100 sell?

was looking at that one on ebay ..looks as if somebody pumped them lips out ...
 
wonder if its bog or metal ..some cars maybe rust free but nor bog free as i found out bog was covering the rust ...when i was changing sill's they lookes ok but when you started rubbing back the bog got deeper then a old supprise paper jammed inside to hold bog in  so off came both sill's and new ones went on ...
 
there were some real bad butcher's in theole days and not much better these days as welll
when i went to take my car to paint shop he wanted to bog some small dents in the fender's i replaced i said stuff that tap the ding out not just fill it up
 
i made sure they did dolly work and demanded i see it before any bog went on ...
 
i put that much work into my capri and no bloody way would i let the panel shop bog places that just needed very little dolly work ... 
 
 pretty much why i am hesitant to buy another capri .
 
 

That's exactly why I choose to do all the resto work myself.
 
Time consuming and tiring and frustrating however I learn a lot, and not dependent or reliant or exposed to any one.

SVO........Specific Vehicle Option........?
maybe?

This guy is working on them at mine - I'll have a squiz every day
That one in WA was up fr sale about a year ago - orig red I think...

yeah i do as well i just hate the smell of any bog + dont have a spray booth to spray 2 pak
 
next one ill hire a out of work or in between jobs panel beater and spray it in acrylic myself .. 2 pak just aint worth the risk's of painting it at home
 
thats the go spud at least you'll be ontop of it if its not right ..i think thats the best way having them do it at your place
 

I'm in no hurry and learning panel art myself. With nothing to lose and everything to gain it's quite relaxing. Everything for me has stopped after a motorbike accident but during this time I've been sourcing parts and learning. I am back into it next year with fresh enthusiasm and really want to learn spraying cars as well. With so many to do,and let's face it painting is not rocket science I'll give it a try. I've sprayed before for years now on machinery etc. Just need the final finishing tricks for perfection on cars which is now littered through YouTube channels to your hearts content.

another SVO one - its for sale on ebay UK - but is located in Victoria Australia - he stuffed up - looks chocolate brown with the yuck interior

20k - looks like has been re-sprayed so god knows what colour it was

Thats the one Whooli and I were talking about.  People are bidding on it though.....
