Ford Capri Build
Posted: Thu 12 Dec 2019, 11:48
Good day All.
I purchased a Ford Capri 3lt GT around 3 years ago. Long story short i was messed around by the panelbeater and most of my spares went missing and half the work paid for incomplete. I finally decided to tow the car back home this week. the car was resprayed, but to my shock when it arrived i started noticing what a terrible job was done.
i am now on a fact finding mission to obtain some knowledge and advice as well as recommendations on who can assist with finishing up the build. i have already invested alot of money in. And now i need to start from scratch again trying to rectify the previous issues.
Things needed to be done: any advice on recommendations of who can help in the Johannesburg area?
-Complete new Floorboards. (Pretty much rotten everywhere)
-Strip down to metal (Filler and Fibreglass seems to rife through the car)
-Fabrication on body (This will be the aftermath from removing the above issue)
-Painting (Maybe a Matt colour to hide up the car not being proper pin straight?)
-Wiring (Complete new loom and new wiring front to back)
-New Dash with modern gauges
-Assembly (Windows etc. and installation of my completed upholstery )
-21R Gearbox conversion (I have the gearbox already)
-Branch and exhaust
any help on the above will be greatly appreciated.
