a lot of cutting and welding went into the car but was definatly worth the effort
at the min in the unit ive started a 3.0s janspeed turbo ill upload some pictures as soon as I get a min
the 3.0 janspeed turbo has now gone to the paint shop they have started to take it back to metal
ill upload some pictures of it as i welded it up later but this is how it stands at the min
As I've said before it's great that there are still some people left with a passion for older cars who care about the quality of their work,
and not just making money!!
Keep up the good work

I've got to hand it to you Steve, you really know your Capri's. The end results are always stunning! Keep up the good work at least you get a lot of job satisfaction, even if the work you put in outweighs the money you make
Hi Steve,
Fantastic work as always. That orange 3.0S looks as good as any of the expensive ones we've seen for sale recently.
And what a way to earn a living, I'm well jel as the kids say these days!

that one is more or less a new car everything that could of been changed for new has been the list is massive for that one i would think if it ever came up for sale it i dont think it would hang about really
the 3.0s janspeed turbo is going to be a very special car im sure as your aware there is only meant to be two left out of four built
at the min thats in the paint shop along with a silver 3.0s non sunroof that used to be owned by mintex for testing brakes
Hello , my oyster gold t reg 1.6GL capri has much less rot than the one you picked up. However it does need rear arches. I have blocked the vents in the tailgate drain channels to keep the inner arches dry. Slap on the rist to ford for such a lousy feature!.
Hi there
Yeh the way the drain goes it's best to re route it and stop water getting in full stop
There's a gold not too far from me I keep seeing it but never get the chance for a chat
The gl models are becoming sought after now
Steve

Some great work going here. I must admit though, it is a shame people don't put the ghia style wheels on the ghia's and the early s's. IMHO I think they are a much more stylish and interesting wheel with better detail but everyone seems to be putting on the same old four spokes now, getting a bit too common now. Not taking credit away from the work you have done though as the work is exceptional.

Hi Jim,
I agree the 4 spokes wheels are now often used, but they really suit the Capri and give in a wider stance, unlike the Ghia wheels which look too narrow IMO.
Plain Silver 4 spokes are good too and the Brooklands

P.S I think Les Car will be equally as good as the KGF Capri at £18000+ and I would Insure it close to that price
