As said, it's great to see another 280 lovingly restored to it's former glory.
Hopefully you will get it all finished by any 50th anniversary events that you are planning to attend this year.

Looks great

As for the decals that was a big mistake, as there are plenty of 280s on the web to get reference from, but it's easily sorted

The costs of doing this work is high, surely the body shop could have done some research, or checked with the owner where the decals are positioned?

Otherwise it’s looking great

With Capri restorations, it's always one step forward & two steps backwards.
Hopefully you'll get it completed within your predicted time frame.
