My 3.0s Capri

[chapfoose]

This is my 3.0s that i have restored over the past year and ahalf.
Every nut and bolt was zinc plated or replaced with stainless.
Engine rebuilt to 3.1,fast road cam,steel timing gear,brand new old stock weber 40dfi5 carb,new stainless janspeeds.
Image split rim rs 4 spokes.
2.8 front legs,avo rears
New wings,inner and outer lower rear corners,backs of sills,replaced some plates that had been welded before and then smoothed off.Bare metaled the whole car,even the underneath got the same treatment and i didnt re-stonechip it as i want it to shine like the top.Apart from the engine rebuild everything else was done by me at my workshop in romford essex.
I have over 800 pics of the restoration.Heres a few of them

Hey, not running very well at the moment running very rich well, it probably worse than that its flooding itself, stalling when I stop and giving the odd back fire, had the float replaced and fuel line from the pump blown out. seemed to go ok for a few days but now back to the same old game, think its time to replace the fuel pump, have one ordered.

I can see some dirt on the rack gaiter....




No, really that's awesome. Just seeing things like the Dynamat on the floor show the attention to detail, top job.

Absolutely stunning! A beautiful example of one of my favourite Capri's.
I love cars like this, the standard of build and finish is way better than it ever would have been when new.
I assume you had to use a special paint on the underside to try and protect it from chipping? It must be slightly flexible I'd have thought?
Congratulations on your superb Capri and thanks for posting.

Stunning!

[rodney]

thats a really nice job youve done ,

[qwerty]

That is beautiful. Top work on the resto. Brilliant colour choice as well!

Now that's a proper restoration. So many cars are claimed to be restored yet the attention is given to the bodywork and interior. Engine bay and underside as clean as the rest? Yes please!

[Loxlee]

Oh gosh! That is just ridiculously clean! Love it
