:shock: That has to be the cleanest, sharpest and definitely the orangest Capri I've ever seen on the entire internet. Absolutely loving what you've done with that, great stuff.

Now I have to "go to the bathroom"...... :oops:

Very nice, just one problem though.......how will you dare to use it, it'll get dirty ;)

As good as new? No, definitely better :shock: Mr Ford would be proud. I'm largely anti Ford by the way (though they did some nice colours of paint), so admiration from this quarter says a LOT :D

Absolutely beautiful. At first I thought you were the chap near me in Swinton (Manchester),he's done the same colour Ford Electric orange,but your in Essex.
It also increases my desire to want one,aswell as seeing John Thaws own MK2 green 3.0S in the Sweeney. I can't find a bargain,most are 2K upwards

Thanks everyone for comments.Engine rebuilt to a 3.1,fast road cam,head work,steel timing gear,brand new old stock weber 40dfi5 carb.Pulls really well but I've got to run it in.The colour is ford signal orange and is a straight colour but looks like it flips in the sun.I have a little fiesta van I painted in electric orange and the colours are totally different.I'm now in the middle of rebuilding a 1948 chevy stepside truck but I don't no if I'm aloud to put pics of it on here or am i?cheers Paul
