Thank you
Greetings from Germany. A dream come true, like a phoenix rising from the ashes!
KawaA7 Thank you
Bmw E30 Hella lights in front. 😉I kept my batteries in the front. 2x6V. Nice car. I restored mine 10 Years earlier (1995). Just in time i guess when i see your car. My 24V engine was as new (only18.000Km). And now in 2022 35.000Km. Keep the Capri alive! Well done mate.
Thanks. I have had major problems with the 24v engine multiple times so the car has only moved around 3000km since i made this video.
Right now we have just put a new 24v engine from top boss performance in and are now Looking into the ecu because we Think Thats Where the problem has been all along. I hope 2022 will be the year Where i Can get out and do some more capri videos with my capri.
@@capri24vcosworth Any progress so far?
@@Wil-70-NL yes I Got the capri back last month after a long stay at the mechanics. It’s now running another top boss performance 24v cosworth engine. My engine killing problems was a faulty wire for the lambda. Running really well now.
it has had a new radiator, refurbished power steering, quaife diff. I think I'll make a new progress video soon😃
@@capri24vcosworth good news! I have got a normal 2.8i radiator with an electric fan. I have no visco. Never had any issues.
@@capri24vcosworthso the cylinder head is defective from the factory or it was a problem due to your engine... I would like to dismantle it and upgrade it with newly produced parts, shaft, pistons, connecting rods, cams, valves, but before getting started I would like to understand if there are real defects design because they could also be found in the future, just like valves 🤔
Superb restoration good luck with it.
You can be very proud of yourself .... You kept a piece of car history in front of the scrap yard.
My first car was a Ford Capri II and I loved this car.
I wish you a lot of fun with the Capri. :)
Thank you.
Hats off to you buddy lovely job
Thank you
Sehr sehr schönes Auto
Hatte mit so einem einen sehr schweren Unfall
Immer wieder schön einen zusehen 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
That was a great video. Well done all ....beautiful car.
Great job! And love the music. Fits perfectly. I fell in love at 16 of age with the Capri, now I am 54 and have my 5th Capri in my garage. After 14 years without I just had to have one again....
What in your opinion is the capri to have?

great job!
Thank you
Wow, most people would have just thrown that car away. I'm just amazed how well it turned out. Good job!
Great Job friend!!!!!
Beautiful, what a great restoration job
Amazing transformation, thankyou for the update 👍
well done, fab job. I had my 2,0s in 1986, it was a 79 model, the door hanging points, the front underbonnet edge, the tailgate inner edge, the headlamp access points were all rusting by then so I know how they rusted ! The engine had already been replaced too, but upon checking was a 2.1 with high cam..After driving it for 20 thou miles I took it out, had it redone and added the twin webber conv, bugger fuel in those days lol. and it went like hell, loved it..Pleased to see these capris on the road would buy another tomorrow if i had the cash..Keep up the great work
Fantastic job. Loved Capris and nothing ever replaced it! The Mustang finally been launched but not many about, can't imagine the 5litre version being too popular here in U.K.
geordiek1 Thank you . Yes i Like the new Mustang too. New Cars are just so expensive here in Denmark
Superb restoration! My parents had a 280 Brooklands in the UK when i was growing up - E580 KHG. This is still on the road in the England after all those years. I had a 1.6 Laser D816 FCL in Nimbus Grey when i was old enough. Loved it! Top one. Nice one. Get sorted!
Awesome work !
Great job mate!
such a awesome restoration job on a beautifully designed car.
A project to be extremely proud of. That looks an incredibly quick car, 24v cosworth was nice engine, smooth but very powerful.
Thank you
awsome and so nice to see them being restored for more adventures and memories to be made
I'd forgotten just how gorgeous they were. I might have had a basic 1.6L, but it was my first car and I loved it - even though it was a dog of a car lol! Great job.
Beautiful Job well done Sir!
Paul Brawn Thank you
She looks beautiful, job well done :)
Great restoration...
Fantastic Work and original colour 😍 i love it
Wolfgang Otte Thank you👍
Good work fella. It's about time I got myself a garage to build a vehicle back to life. I'd love to do a 2.8 Capri.
Saving hard now for ANY Capri (Mark 1 or Mark 3) . I owned a few back in the day I used to be able to get them dirt cheap but at a time where there were a few more on the road etc.
Lovely job on that one like WOW looks stunning. I'm happy with a 1.6 to 2.8 injection (manual). I can see a few of these being turned into Electric Vehicles - I'm sure going to miss that wonderful engine sound so old school + cool. They should not outlaw petrol engines I suppose the other option would be LPG gas conversion
Thank you. Hope you will get a capri again. Prices are going up too here in Denmark . You don’t see a capri here anymore. Only during summertime. No more all year drivers. Right now my capri are getting a new 24v cosworth engine and a quaife lsd and some other bits so I’m saving aswell here :-) .
Yes hope I’ll be able to keep my new engine a couple of years before having to go eletric :-D
Rust never sleeps, alot to repair hope shes still rollin good after all that hard work.
Joe Kurtz . it’s in need of a new engine right now But new one coming home from top boss performance soon. I’ll do an Update on the car then
Ikoniske fælge...flot!
Steen Holm mange tak
great vid lovely car, well done for saving it, a lot of work there, i have same engine in my mk II enjoy it !!!!
I don't understand how someone can leave such a beauty stay,let it rust etc. But still,good job restoring it.My dad loves capris and i rememer in 2011 getting a body for it.It was absolutely nothing,but i restored it with him and it was running really well,it was tuned,full carbon fiber body,but the day had come,when he had to sell it,he was in debt,we were very sad that day,but i swore to him that i will buy him one and we will build it together when i will be an adult :)
guy . A buddy has a 71 white 2000. 85000 miles on it. He is selling it. Body in good condition
Beautiful
Wunderbar
What a car well done should be proud of yourself 👍
Massive job and well done - we here in Australia do not tend to see such rust as we do not have salted roads - although I have seen a few cars from coastal towns that have rotted badly.
wow! really nice, from what I deduce; your son was not born when you guys got married, then you restored it and I see various stages of his growth along with the stages of the restoration (NICE BOND AND HISTORY RECREATED FOR/ WITH HIM), Thumbs up for "family bonds" and a pretty darn "sweet" restoration.
Thank you .
Beautiful job mate, well done.
Thank you
@@capri24vcosworth What engine is in that MK3, and can you give me the tyre and wheel sizes?
@@andrewtreloar7389 the engine is a 2,9 cosworth boa taken out of a Ford scorpio .
Tires are 205/60/13
Wheels are the original pepperpot wheels from the 2.8i , size 7x13
@@capri24vcosworth Awesome mate, thanks. We never got the Mk2 or 3 Capri here in Australia and my daughter wants one for her first car. the Mk3 looks like a prime candidate for a Ford Barra swap!
Super !!!
What an amazing restoration buddy, many congratulations on a fantastic job, it was definitely a labour of love😉👍
jon open minded ingram : Thank you.
Your son is really lucky, because you are really big. 👍🍀🍀🍀
Ciro Santarpia Thank you
lots of rust but worth it
like the boy helping too
I have owned 4 Capris and I am still a big fan. I hope to attend the 50th birthday event of the Cpari this Sept. at Brooklands. I'm currently working on a friends 1974 Capri. It's no where at rusty as yours was. Of course it was sold new in California and has sat in a garage and off the road for the past 28 years.
Супер!!!!!
Salut, je refais une Ford Capri mais je ne connais pas de site pour les pièces qu’est ce que vous me conseillez ?
Looks really nice in graphite grey over stratos silver , would of loved to hear her running with that stainless steel exhaust , I wonder what it would be like with a twin turbo
5v Thank you. Yes graphite Grey over stratos silver is my favorite colour combo for a mk3 capri. Janspeed exhaust and a 24v boa Sounds Great But a twin turbo boa would be awesome. Can’t get through mot in Denmark with the turbo on I’m afraid 😭.
Dream workshop🙈
beautiful, alot of hard work in that. nice one
Thank you.
Great job, can I ask what the restoration cost? I see you done all bodywork upto painting!!
Wery nice Capri, well done Sr. I also will restore my Ford taunus mk1 1975 and also with v6 boa.
Ardian19731114 Zeka Thank you Ardian. I love a Good old taunus . My father has just bought and old taunus 2.0gt coupé from 71.
Wunderschön und viel Arbeit, Toll gemacht aber hinten Trommelbremse und Blattfedern, daß hätte man ändern müssen.
very nicely done. got one myself i did back in 1993, is a 24v turbo with sierra cosworth box mated to a modified xr4x4 bellhousing.
Thank you. My next project is to get a sierra cosworth box fitted too
very nice!!, i have the same engine in my capri, but nowhere near as nice as yours, well done!!
trevor thompson Thank you.
👍👏❤️
Hi there! How is the cossie doing? I have a question for you. Does your temperature gauge in the instrument cluster work? And if so, wich sensor did you use? The one from the original 2.8i? I don't know the resistor range for my gauge, that's why i ask. I run the original 24V sensor and that is in Ohms too high for the gauge. Grtz, Wil.
Keep her she's a gooden mate
My Grandads had one for over 30 years.. been sat in a field for the past 20, had people offer to buy it but wouldn't sell. He's finally decided to hand the keys over to me after pestering him for ages. Looking a lot worse than this, but gonna try get it back on the road!!
I suspect thats the engine ford would of used had Capri production continued after the the 2.8 brooklands
4:15 so he has WELDED the battery into the trunk? how to change it?
U need to Take 2 screws out to get to the battery
any video review about this gem,m
Not yet But will try and upload a video about it If I get the time. Allso have an Instagram account called 24vcapri for more recent pictures of it
I miss my '72 😔 Mercury version cuz american but still....
Ça coûte combien une rénovation comme cela ?
What country is this in?

All that work and you put the steering wheel on the wrong side apart from that fantastic job lol
Always wanted one, getting too expensive now I think.
Let's hope the stupid gov don't ruin our classics with their E10! Which I'm sure is their intention..
