Getting Somewhere

 Managed to get the car painted last week :D

Tried painting directly onto the rubbed down paint and it just reacted again where the lacquer had frosted over so decided to re-prime the whole car.
It still left little patches of like, pin holes in the paint, but all in all it's not looking too bad.
There was also a few places where the paint reacted, such as patches on both doors and also a bit on the fuel filler cap, but I've decided to come back and sort these at a later date.

Also, painted my mk1 Capri badge and drilled some holes in the boot lid for it and also painted the boot lock.

It's now full steam ahead on putting the car back together. Already got both the front and back bumpers back on, the front grille is on, as are the valance grilles. The headlights are in but need the wires splicing into the Capri loom. The Ford and Capri badges have been put on, and the spoiler has been attached. I've also drilled a hole in the roof and put the new shark fin aerial on.
 Also started sticking all the insulation back onto the inside of the roof so that the roof lining can get put back on, as the windscreen will arrive on Wednesday, so need the lining back in before the windscreen goes in.

 

Will update when more is done.

Keep forgetting about the blog

So, the weather has still been crap so nothing has been done to the capri still :(
Getting quite sick of the bad weather tbh, but hopefully it'll start brightening up soon.

As for the little progress I have made, got the bumpers sprayed matt black and the front grill, also took the pepper pots off to refurbish so now it's sitting on xr3i clover leafs (and it looks stupid, but it's only temporary lol)

I'll add more when it happens.
