,cant wait to start another resto

Again, great job

You should have kept that, asking big money for those now.....Maybe worth more than a Capri!!

Dont think i can justify buying one andy.yep slipped up pal .

Eyup hope alls well ive decided to ha have a little engine bay spruce up as a few things ,paint etc have gone off a bit.so stripped off what needs doing rubbing down filling priming painting has started .ive nearly finished now so i can start shoving it all back on.im gonna redo the underside over the winter shes stood well to be truthful .the engine bay itselfs manky but will soon clean up

Looks good Mel

Is it garaged or just under cover?

Andy

Its garaged andy.but its been outside for 8 months .under a large sort of open shed not good for it.i first put a fleece lined waterproof car cover over it but when i took it off the car was condensating.so i left it off.then i rented a garage but that wasnt the best.ive just moved to a brand spanking house and the garage is dry so now i can crack on minting her back up.
Here she is plenty of room

All the parts are finished now just need to mask the full engine bay as i want to repaint the strut tops .wish i could have the parts powdercoated but they need that much filling that the bits of dints etc will show up so il have to paint them ,freshen em up now and then.something to do

She’s looking good as always and love your rocker cover job . What a great big garage as well is that a Cornish garage as they all had a tractor in the day

Haha i fancy restoring a little tractor .i have a mate whos restored one and drives it about clitheroe lancashire

That’s funny as my wife’s cousin did a 1969 David Brown one and it looks amazing he’s down in Redruth and took it to a show . They go for a lot of money once done .

Nice one
I don't care what anyone says, you can't beat a dry garage for storage

Very impressive!
Glad you have a nice new dry garage too.

Cheers chaps.nearly done just need to put the fan on and get a new fan belt needs a right good cleaning on the outside and then a few bits to do on the interior and that will do until winter

Impressed Mel, looks brand new

Cheers rob .il have to do it all again in a year or so but heyho .underside over winter will be a carry on

There's only a delete option for the last post in the thread, so you could have deleted the duplicate and kept the first post of the two.

Back to Mel's car.
It looks as stunning as always, I love looking through the photos because Mel's car is pretty much the perfect Capri.

Andrew.
