That's utterly awesome, well done.
The Mk2 is my favourite Capri so it's good to see one getting some love.
I'll be keeping an eye on this!

quick up date, bottoms up!! started to seam weld the all the chassis points today and any join in the floor. its alot easier when its on its side i can tell you. you can also see just how good this 33 year old piece of tin is ps its not just held up with a piece of wood,its also tied to the rafters    |
