Hey, your crossmember bolts up from underneath with no nuts outside the chassis rail, I've never noticed this before

Nice project Owen. I thought the v4 was all but extinct but not while your around aye. Its great to see something a bit different. Cheers.[^]

Its a mid 69 model, same as mums white v4, the crossmember bolts up the same, i thought that most 69's were like this? I found some vinyl roof trim in grece, cant wait until it gets here. Im still going to paint the roof so if it takes a while to find someone to fit it it wont go rusty and its sealed under when it get done.Owen

My 69 1600 has the same setup for the x-member bolts. I think it was from 1970 that the bolts changed to going right through the rails.
Yet another difference for the 69 models - its a long list now!

Packed up the car today, and sent it to the big shed, should be able to get stuck into it. its our big shed for our lost capri's

got stuck in today,had a problem with the oil pump(look in discussions thread) but almost finished all the welding on the passenger side, just a little left to do on the floor.

Ive made a little progress with my capri. ive been stuck into it after work for the last two weeks.Ive got another full day on it tommorrow. i strip all the paint ( dont you just love using paintstriper) cut and welded up all the rust, then etched and primed it. looks like ive got Wednesday off so it should be green,anyway heres some pics, the last pick is of the car and its personal security guard. O

Ahhh, a Capri shell in primer. That takes me back to my youth.

Looking good O, keep it up.

i got my roof trim the other day from grecce. :( it turned up damaged ) im going to get the c section recromed and the straights straightened and polished. i just hope my RS lights and new old stock v4 extractors turn up safe from england.

well heres some pics hot off the press, painted today, i will post some better shots when i get it outside.O
