Opened the box on this one, all I can say is Mr Stanley & Mr Razor saw have our work cut out.

Before the Capri owners club start sending me hate mail its all for the good.

I am going to TRY & build this one as close to the original as possible.

I will cut out the bonnet & boot, if I cant get an after market engine I will try to build one.

Any help on the engine would be cool as all I can find are V6 - V8s and I need a inline 4.

The complete front end under the bonnet will need to be cut out & tube chasse made.

The list dose on & on.

Wow! It looks just like the real thing! :P

Seriously John, this should be well worth watching
 
I'm watching this one too. Be interested how you make some of the custom components.
 
Back in the eighties my mate was mad about capris I think he had just about every model in every colour he eventually brought a tr7 after his long obsession was over.i used to love looking at the enormous bonnet through the windscreen.this looks a great kit straight from the box and I'm sure with all your planned improvements this will be awesome I very much look forward to it
 
There are lots of people building 1/24 merlin engined aircraft that have expressed no interest in the engine maybe you can blag one of those.. A V12 Rolls powered Capri.....

Might need to beef up the front springs a bit....

A panel scriber is quite good for that sort of butchering. Also much kinder to fingers...
