Yes more than 20 - no it's too far gone to bring over but I'm taking panel cuts and bits back. Not even motomobil have this preface lift v6 panelling so it's good to collect all u can.

I'm not big on overseas travell - here because I have to be - but if I see a Capri and can get some bits! Makes it worthwhile!

If you go there again spud I'll give you a battery angle grinder and pay you to bring some panels back with you. But NZ is a lovely place to visit and the South Island probably isn't to bad this time of year. Does it have the guard Apillar protectors with the rubber around? And my latest has them around the lights at the front. Like an add on piece with rubber attached. Bring those back if their there.

They're still there - I told him t throw them in with the other stuff - might replicate them - the guy is going t do the slicing and sending.

Problem is panels are hard expensive and impossible to get. V6 capris are very expensive to rebuild and if Spud has over 20
Then they are in reasonably safe hands. There is always someone here to share the love and after buying a roof for a Capri and having Spud offer to pick up two hours out of Melbourne store it safely and ask nothing for the trouble you will find their is always someone here that will help. As for parts let us know what your after in total so we can help (if we can).

it is almost impossible to get parts for capri's ..  doors are everywhere but a quater or good fender is almost impossible ...  couple in tas but the cost of getting em to syd is quite a bit of money ,, not worth the coin or better of waiting for a donor car that would be cheaper in the long run .. if i find one that has good panels..
 
i'll have to have a think about to keep the gt or sell it and buy something that have still plenty of parts still about ..
