i bought a yellow v6 capri mk1 about 2 years ago which looked good on the outside but was far from good on the inside. after a complete stip down and good sand blast there was nothing left of the poor car. it looked like it was used as a fishing car on the beach. it would have too costly to fix - never mind all the cutting and welding. so i was lucky to aquire a 1600 shell and finally went to panel beaters about 3 weeks ago and is starting to look good. the right hand side is ready for primering and the roof is ready aswell. here are some beforpics and as soon as there is primer on the shell i will post some new ones

an update
i bought a new fiber glass fender in the hope that it will shorten body work time (plug and play) but the darn thing does not fit
so it is back to drawing board and the panel beater is going to have to fix the original one.
he has fixed things on this poor capri that i thought could never be done.
here are some updates
