A few more pics tonight of my Capris. I hope this year I can really get a proper start on fixing loose ends. After some health issues I am relatively fixed ( i can walk and bend down). Sorry to anybody I've bought stuff from and haven't picked up but i will soon. Also i have had some time to reflect, learn and learn and slow down without being gun ho as a first year apprentice with leather gloves and a welding helmet might be. As a Carpenter by trade that owns a Brick Cladding company with a machinery workshop of sorts with multiples of any tool I require this time has taught me experience is what its all about. Learn slow, practice hard and practice again and again and then some even more before you attack something you can't replace (like everything on a Capri except rust as it just seems to replace itself and not free of charge). After my accident I have been practicing on a few things.Firstly patients yeah failed on that so others are fusion welding, learning to panel beat and generally things that take no strength or bending movements drinking VB. Ive discovered that although I have welded stuff for years that Im still crap at it, and while my job should use hammers that I know nothing about using them for good not evil (carpenters only smash stuff apart with hammers nowadays Nail guns do everything else) So this year I will start by finishing each job I start and learning to be patient and study before I attack something. I say this as I have a 1972 CK17ME shell that I sand blasted 2 years ago that was rust free and it now just sits on a rottisserie gathering dust and surface rust. Something that I find wrong wrong wrong.
