Getting the Capri ready for the nice weather
Getting the Capri ready for the nice weather
At last it looks like we might have some good weather and I might attend my first show this weekend.
After about 6 months of storage the Capri was looking a bit dusty
After a wash, clay, dry and polish
Tomorrow I'll be getting the interior cleaned up, which fortunately won't be such a big job!

Hi Neil,
Looking stunning there! The hard work that you've put in has really worked wonders as the paintwork looks to have a wonderfully deep shine to it. Beautiful.

Cheers Andrew. It was hard work the dust had eaten into the paint mixed with a bit of overspray where I've been painting stuff near the car over the winter.Andrew 2.8i wrote:Hi Neil,

All the best

Perhaps I should invest in some sort of breathable cover??
Been let down by a couple of mates that I was going to go with.... Thinking I might just go out for a long drive with a fresh tank of fuel, as its probably what the car needs after not having any use for so long. Maybe find a pub near Beaulieu and watch the Fords drive past
