Bodywork
Good:
Sanded back and re-sprayed in matte black, super job and looks fantastic with a deep colour done just over 1 year ago

Dent on drivers side just behind the door where a parked car opened their door onto my car
Passenger door is completely wrecked as it was reversed into while parked, so will require a new door, comes with can of original matte black paint to re spray new door with
Rust on the drivers side sill, MOT advisory
Slight flaking of paint on the front of the bonnet

Underneath looks good

Car is in fairly good shape for being 31 years old, and these capris are getting harder to find and more expensive over time
Car looks and sounds great and draws plenty of attention with the matte black paint and super sounding exhaust
Can also draw plenty of attention with the superb speakers as well
Not a standard original capri anymore in many ways, but still a great car!

The full v5 is present along with the handbooks for the car and the previous mots

I went and spent a while looking at this car, I found/brought another one now and though I made an offer he didn't accept as it wasn't what he was looking for at the time, however lovely helpful guy, and if anyone has any questions about the car and wants my opinion I'd be happy to help

Thanks Ewan. Hope you found a car you like.

Sorry I should've put a link to ebay for it when I posted it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-FORD-CAP ... 3a9b2cf95f

The sill is absolutely fine with no structural damage to the car at all. Just a dent in the door.
The rear quater is just a small dent from where someone opened a door onto my car while it was parked. It is hard to notice. I am located in saffron walden ESSEX

Thank your Andrew!!
