Looks bob on - I like! Great work mate. I've got a real soft spot for a silver Mk2 3.0S. My Dad had one, my first ever car journey from hospital as a new born was in it

Simply stunning, you've done an amazing job on this car, surely one of the best Capri's out there.

Once again, fantastic looking car.
I'm not sure how far off done you are, but there was a journo looking for a Mk2 3.0S for a shoot and comparison against a Scimitar, I'll dig the link out if that's something that may be of interest to you.

Hi,
Superb! I love the underside view, it's immaculate.
I'm guessing the car passed with no advisories?

Looks like rust to me .. . Seriously, this is a great restoration, its brilliant to see a car come together & this has been one of the most enjoyable to follow. Good luck with the snag list, hope you get to enjoy your hard work on the road this year.tazla wrote:Its not rust on the rear leafs its grease stains .honest

I did wonder about that, but felt it was best not to mention it..... Glad you cleared that up!tazla wrote:Its not rust on the rear leafs its grease stains .honest
I love the attention to detail on this resto. I notice that you've even got the little axle ratio tag on the axle. Was that the original one that was still on the car or did you get a replica made?
Andrew.
