Yeah its being done by Steve on here.... Good spot I was thinking that I'd heard of another.
Hi all, the car Steve is doing belongs to me. I will put a thread up eventually when it's done and it's history, it's just a pain with Photobucket half the time, I don't know how you guys find it with its bloody pop ups etc. I have been in contact with the owner of the two tone one and in contact with the original owners wife of my car, also in touch with an ex worker who built mine at Janspeed as well as the MD of Janspeed. I will release this cars full story on completion, all I will say is this car is unique and looks all but like a factory 3.0S. As for value doesn't interest me as such as I will never sell it and when I bought it I didn't buy it to pose or anything like that, it's just not me. I saved this car for several reasons and certainly not for its value, I like all Capris and if I'm honest I originally bought it for its colour being Forest Green, again it's a bit Marmite.

Here it was when I bought it shortly after having a roof fitted as it had a Webasto fitted aftermarket.

Here it is before the original owners sold it (It should have Ghia wheels, eventually these will go back on but I have some RS4 spokes to use - Copies)

Here it is now at the paint shop following Steves Graft. This has been and is still a monumental effort to save it.

Looking forward to seeing this one progress Mark.
Know what you mean about Photobucket, some on here have started using Flickr which seems to be more user friendly.

All the best

Yeah I'll do a full thread post in a few weeks but essentially it will end up bar engine looking identical to this including colour.

Hi,
It is a stunning colour. I haven't seen many Capris that are forest green all over, most seem to be two tone. I like it!

Hi Andy,
I'm surprised that it took so long to sell,it seemed to be reasonably priced considering the standard of restoration.
