Not allowed to advertise in the forums. What's the model you are looking for? As ShanX said- there are a few advertised, are you looking for one as a budget daily runner or one to keep as a classic?

Looks like it needs a bit of work ne? lotta legwork needed to find the headlight surrounds, grille, buffer etc me thinks

unless they just havent been fitted that is.

hows the engine? Interior?

Guys i found 1971 Ford Capri MK1 GT for 285000/-.is it worth for that price?

http://yfrog.com/9fcapyj

Well price is all relative. I too had a GT Capri. Does this one have the 6 meter dash ? With RPM Meter?

The biggest cost will be tinkering , painting .

Then tires, interior, electrics, battery, etc

There is a member here who goes under the screen name "Mc3anix" or something that effect.

the man is an automotive mechanical engineer to my knowledge and has been working for alfa r in malaysia...

I happen to bump into him a few weeks a ago and that bugger had a capri in pretty good nick...

i think it was his BIL's car but if you can get through the bugger i'm sure he can give a good review about this model...

let me see if i can send him a message and get him to take a look at this thread...

hi guys

Are there ford capris available for sale in srilanka?

thnks :unsure:

Hey mate... Sorry cz im just checking in on some time... I've been a lil bz these days restoring a Mk2 1600 Capri. Its my BIL's car... Well for the questions that u have asked and what i would suggest.

1. There are capri's for sale in SL but it takes some time to look for them. In fact i do kw one for sale in Jayala area, but its in crap condition.

2. The GT Capri that you have shown us is a damm good one, reason why. Well because of its body styling. If we had seen it earlier, we would have definitly got it :rolleyes: ....

3. From the pic the body looks pretty ok but who know's what you will find once you go check it out fully ;)... And its lacking a font nickle bumper... And also if im not mistaken, the Mk1's came with four round lights in the front <_< ...

4. Spare parts could be a real bitch because its pretty expensive. But we get down most of the parts from the UK... http://www.burtonpower.com/ or there is a dude in panchikawatte who only deals with classic ford spares. Jayawardena motors i guess...

5. The tinkering cost us around 80k because there was a sun roof and we took it off. Want to get the car to its original condition.

6. Buying a car like that needs alot of attention, if its been restored, it should be done really well.

7. My BIL spent 390k for his capri, which was a lil too much. So far we have almost reached to 200k on the restoration.

Here's my number 0775353620. Call me if there's anything that you want to know... I'll hook u up with some of my contacts...

Yea macho... But all depends on how you plan on restoring it... You could do it in a budget or the costly way. But for around 6lks you could do a good job on the car. So far we have spent almost 200k and the car is around 75% completed...

The restoration costs all depends on the condition of the car...

But trust me after its all completed, you will feel like a pimp daddy driving it around :angry-smiley-048: ... The respect given on the road, the thumbs up from other drivers just makes you feel like your the slayer of all cars...

cheerz mate and i hope u make a good decision on the car :rolleyes:

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but have you ever seen a capri with the Xpack kit in Sri Lanka?

Has anybody tried to fit one on here? I always dreamed of getting a Capri done up. Someday hopefully! Classic British muscle! Good luck with your project!

Machan to have a car properly restored, you would need to learn about the car yourself. Get the car and buy all the reading materials and such and study em well. A 100% stock restoration is a tedious process. You would not be looking at one single place to do the job but a few specialized places. You would have to supervise the process yourself too. Now if you just want to get the car running and look nice then it's a less time consuming and cheaper process as you can always improvise with stuff.

Yes bro,

Time what i dont have.i want be able to supervise the progress either.Im thinking of handing over evrything to a trustworthy ,professional person with a reasonable cost

Do you think its ok to buy a Capri which is already being restored?

I saw a car in a AL advertisement....its a bit of adulterated

What you think the price gonna be?Im not willing to go for Drags.Just wanna use it for daily runs

Thnx

Actually even after a good restoration- keeping the car in pristine condition is not an easy task- with the risk of rust always a factor. Also a 40+ year old car will anyway have its own issues that come with age & added problems associated with our roads. I personally would not use it as a daily runner.
