I finally got round to reading your restoration thread Dave, Wow you have a Mammoth task on your hands with this one, but excellent workmanship, she's going to look amazing when you're finished. Capri's aren't that common over here, but when I see Mk1's and Mk2's come up for sale at a reasonable price and usually rot free, I often wonder is worth buying a rot free LHD Capri and converting it to RHD rather than all the welding required to save an original rotten one?
