> Project : exterior

most of the trim was on the car, so on went the fender badges to finish off the standard trim

i was inspired by the chin spoilers from racing capris, so i decided to make my own.
made up a metal frame that will mount to the body

i bought a MK1 golf chin spoiler, this will be cut down and attached to the frame.

the ends had to be reshaped to match the capri panel

frame fiberglassed to spoiler, will now be sent for satin black paint.

> Project : rear panel covers

due to the condition of the original rear panel covers i found i had to use the top curved half on the made up panels i had with the car.

i chopped out wat i needed

and recessed the wood on the made up panel

and resined it on, now they are ready for covering.

> Project : gear shifter

so having tested out the brakes abit, i realised the shifter mechanism was badly worn, it was very hard to find gears, so a new one was sourced and rebushed.

old on the left, new on the right, the old one had excessive wear on the housing which the shaft goes through.

> Project : interior, details...

so its been a very long while since the site has been updated, and there has been lots of progress on the capri, so here goes....

managed to source some original rear panel covers, will use this to make up the new panels.

changed the bonnet pin to allen key bolts, looks much better than screws.

finally found out the pads where too narrow, and sourced some originall wider 3000GT pads.

the blead the brakes yet again, got them working 100% now.
