G'day Neil,

Sounds like a real basket case.

Better let me have it then! For a small but reasonable fee of course!

Seriously, Nice One.

As has been said, Good to see they're still out there.

Have fun,

Darian.

I love Jewel Green, my first capris colour. 

Will be able to properly inspect it now, but first order of the day is to get a new battery and get it running. Will have a good go at it Monday. It did not come with the Rostyles when new, had steel rims and wheel covers. The covers are in the boot, has a new switch or two and the window problem - hopefully the glass as just slipped. The front seats are not the originals, but I do have the  originals - vinyl is cracked on them.

The capri window regulators had a habit of breaking the teeth in the gear.  ALso the glass had a tendancy to pop out of the lower metal bracket as the old mastik went hard, causing a jam

Found an interesting catalog:

 Thanks for this tip. I can feel the gears mesh when I turn the handle, so I suspect the glass has jumped out. I assume this is a door trim off job. How do people reattach the glass?

Yep door trim off, silicon or sikaflex them back in but check that the holders aren't rusted out.

Thanks, can probably do that. Will look for a manual for the car, have a feeling that I'll need it.

Capri runs. Oil is like tar, carby worn, fuel pump shagged and points going to be replaced, but it goes vroooom!
Another pic: 

Original 165 crossply spare tyre still in the boot. Most rust is surface rust and all switches work, though most worn. I'm amazed at the price of new switches!
