Behold, the monstrosity that is my project Capri!

The pics of it with rusty bits and a missing wing are old, the ones of it intact are older still! Currently it has no front wings at all, but all the rusty bits under them have been repaired and it's waiting for me to sort the front valance, fit new wings, paint the front end, and find a new windscreen...

p.s. sorry for ballsing the pics up. Can't find a free hosting site that'll let me do full-size hotlinks without registering, and can't get these ones to give clickable thumbnails! Click the hyperlink text, not the pics, for full size ones

Hi, welcome to PH

Your Capri looks very nice

I've got a very original (including rust) Cobolt Blue 1981 2.0S which I'll be selling in a few months so if you know any other restoration enthusiasts please let them known - or you could have a matching set

Thanks for the info, I tried it but it gave me the same string of text for the photo as I got with webshots and had more jargon on how to use it (might not seem jargon to you but it is to me) so I gave up I'll keep trying with webshots and one day it'll happen, you know an infinite amount of time with a monkey tapping at the keyboard, either that or someone'll make it all user-friendly
