Hi all just thought id best get some photos up of my capri before i start my restoration.

[dan the capri fan]

ive seen the top photo on facebook and the 3rd photo is the car that were advertised for sale not far from me thats a mint calypso you should keep it like that because their getting rare

i do want to keep it as original as possible but an engine conversion would be nice i dnt think il be selling it any time soon.

its a great solid shell just needs some tlc on the paint work and interior.

oh and i did buy it from birmingham shat myself all the way back home didnt trust the 1.6 but it didnt miss a beat at all in 270 miles and i got lost in birmingham.

Looking good - (and applogies - don't think I ever did reply to your email) .

gorgeous mine should look just like that but doesn't it's really nice to hear that you are planning to keeping it as original as poss. Mine is a little to far gone (budget issues) to be brought back as anything other than slightly modified but hopefully I'll get the essence of the Calypso back.
Thanx for the piccys there the first good Calypso pics i've seen

That's a very tidy Calypso! doesn't look like it needs much in the way of restoration. (wish i'd kept my two-tone paint now, might have to resurrect it)

Afraid not - decided I must do something about the manky driver's wing before MOT so finally took it off late last August - then began sorting out the A-pillar and some sections of floor at the driver's side - just returned to it now the weather is warmer. Thinking I may as well tackle the passenger side this summer whilst all is already in bits.

Those wheels really do look - must get a set myself when all is ready. Like I said, used to see various two-tone Capris that had been resprayed in one colour - so seeing one in it's original colours is alwaysa treat.
