Have patience but stay on top of the shop or your car can end up in limbo like so many others. I've had paint guys promise the world and come up very short where 3 months turns into 6 i pulled my Mclaren capri out of a shop about 10 years ago and it's still waiting to be finished. Good luck with the project can't wait to see photo's of the progress.

Ok, I'll be the nozy one and ask. How much change does something like this cost?

Comming along very nice.
Looked like a very solid car to begin with.
Like him ^^^, I have had nothing constructive to add. I am watching with interest as I plan on buying another Capri someday and need to know what to expect. Watching others is a good incentive for saving $ to restore, not just buy and drive. So keep the photos coming. Progress reports from any and all are very interesting, and much appreciated. Even if I don't add any inane comments guys!

He's doing great so far! Any engine mods planned while it's out? Or just some freshening up?

Depending on your bugget, a set of heads will bring it to life real fast, if you want to go that far.
How ever I was looking at the pics and was wondering if you have plans for any subframes or even battle boxs? I would think that now is the time to do that. But over all it looks good, hope you know how to put everthing back!
If you blink at the end of the straight away you'll miss the twisties and what fun would that be!
