Have been watching since the first episodes you posted to Facebook with you hitting the seized cylinders with a block of wood on your driveway. Amazing to see how far you've come. Can't wait to see you guys in person at some point.
Wow, thank you!
it runs, what a transformation from when it was on the drive. well-done lads...

Thanks. And glad you think so 👍😊
Kate sounds GREAT lads. Nice to see her driving again, top job fellas 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Great work, sounds good.👍👍
Thanks a lot!
One of my best friends lived in Quarry Bank, he was a petrol head as well. He’s gone now but he would have loved Kate 💕💕💕
Quarry bank just over tge hill from my house.
Glad to hear your friend would have enjoyed this. Perhaps he/she does already 😊❤️
It's great to see Kate on the road...been subscribed to your channel from the start when you first got her and watched you bring her back to life..she sounds awesome 👌 your patience and hard work certainly payed off...well done to all. Regards Stuart
Awesome! Thank you!
This is the first time in a year I think that I've caught up with Kate restoration..WOW excellent 🤞😎✝️🙏God bless.. I'm saving ££££ so perhaps in about a year I'll have a Capri myself probably in the shape of a Mark 3...1.6 to keep running costs to a minimum. Keep up the great work lads it's so inspiring to watch. The Capri is the only car for me I'm 50 and I've never lost my love for these cars ..loving the extra camera work/angles etc really makes a difference
Glad you enjoyed the filming angles buddy, and best wishes for the right car to enter your life 👍😊
@@ClassiccarbscoukCheers dude 😎 well I'm 3 grand towards a Capri but I know I could probably get a ready to drive Laser for around 5 grand hopefully so I'm hoping December time .. I'm gonna be patient so really save 10 grand and spend 5
Had a 73 mk1 3.0 liter GXL V6 capri , you brought back some brilliant memories, cheers
Glad to hear, and thanks! 👍😊
Well done guys feels like yesterday when she wheeled onto our screens. Couldn't stop watching the patina pulled me in and I was hooked. I'm all for a rustic paint job that pays homage to how she looked then. Again well done
Thank you for the confirmation - Some cool people watching us!! Will take your suggestion on board, thanks :)
Outstanding! Loved seeing this getting built. Cant wait to see when she's fully done. well done to everyone.
Thank you! 😊
I've been watching since your first few videos and I'm so happy how Kate is looking
Thank you very much, glad you like her :)
Brilliant to see Kate come all that way. You guys all deserve a pat on the back saved her. I am well happy to see her on the road. Good to see you laying sum rubber down😂. You have built a great car 😊
Thank you Ali!! I want to come visit you in Kate , up in Scotland sometime! :)
Thanks for always supporting me buddy! X
@@Classiccarbscouk Your welcome anytime buddy. We would both love to see you me and Tina 🤗🤗
I remember you tinkering with this car on the driveway when it was a basket case. Certainly goes like the clappers now 😊
Your working conditions have improved a million percent 🤗
Yes, indeed, glad you noticed 🙌😊
It's been a few weeks since I've commented. Plumbing and electrical issues on the house have taken up my time. You've done yourselves proud with Kate.
I remember when you first unloaded Kate and started on her ( Your UA-cam was still Classic carbs) and it's been quite the journey to this point. Kate is 100 percent better than she started (locked up engine, body putty in the fenders, and to much more to list ) Great job. 👍👍👍
Thank you Ron 😊
Trust the house repairs are progressing well 👌
Thanks for the support over the last few years buddy 🙏
@@Classiccarbscouk Yes repairs almost done, Was a personal choice since the house is 47 years old. I decided that newer plumbing and wiring would be safer and more trouble free.
@rontalbert4507 building strong foundations, towards a bright and Prosperous future.. I like 👍🏼 👌 👏😊
Well done chaps. She looks smart and rides really well!
She pulls hard for an old girl, thanks for the support 👍
I'm a bit late to the party dudes having only found your channel a few weeks ago. I have worked my way through all kates videos. Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed the journey, I think what you have achieved is fantastic, well done dudes.
Thank you very much 😊🫡👍
Love the twin headlamps 💕💕💕
Me too! 😁🙌
Have enjoyed every video from start to now... All great.. From day one.. Kate looking good.. Looking forward to seeing lots more videos.. John from Lisburn Northern Ireland
Thank you so much 😊
At last, she's back on the road, pleased to say I've seen it from day One getting dropped off then all the stuff on your drive, you've done a lot of work on Kate from Left to Right hand drive and everything else.
Thank you buddy, appreciate the comment 👍🏼 😊
Fantastic Mano and the team she sounds awesome
Thank you! 😊
She sounds fantastic, and looks mean. Well done sticking at it this far. Must be very gratifying.
Yes, is a satisfying feeling, and kinda makes all the effort worthwhile.
Flat you enjoyed watching the vid 😊
What a journey this has been, well done guys , I can’t believe it’s been three years, thanks for sharing this epic content 👍👍👊👊
Our pleasure!
Sounds Savage. Well done Dudes
She does, thanks for the comment!! :)
Bloody brilliant. Looking forward to future videos.
Thank you 😊
Great to see Kate out on the road, I’ve followed ye since ye started and I really enjoy the channel, All the best, Great Job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Congratulations boys, the pay off of seeing her rocket down the road has been worth the journey. Every time I see one of your videos, the want for a Mk1 grows a little bit stronger. I'm as pleased for you and Kate, as I am envious that she isn't mine. Can't wait for her to wear a gleaming new coat of paint to stop the cancer of rust starting to get hold again. Brilliant to see her where she belongs again.
Great comment, Thank you! 😊
Its great to see Kate driving sounds like a lotus
Thank you! She sounds grunty for sure!!
Wow! I remember being mesmerized watching you take apart Kate’s engine and wondering how on earth you’d ever get it back together again. And then you took the whole car apart and changed it to RHD ! From your Mom ‘s house to your shop! Awesome journey through a pandemic on top of it all.
Thanks!!! :)
In 1982 I had a 1969 1600 GT. She had the ohv engine with the single weber card and tubular exhaust. She was in Roman Bronze with tan vinal interior. Previous owners had put tan fur on the door cards and rear side panels. Four seats, with 2 well defined seats in the drear. Seen others with a bench rear seat. Great car was fast for it's day. Pity some guy pulled out of a side road
Well done boys I was there right at the start at the house before kate and now, you have got this far with Kate and I think some music would be nice used to love you two and three breaking into spontaneous song made my heart sing Keep up the good work also nice to see the channel growing Excellent vids
Note taken 🎶
Thanks for the great support and glad you enjoyed watching the vid(s) 😊
What a great great job well done I always enjoy the videos thumbs up guys, no dudes.
😁😁 thanks dude 🙏
Nice one!. Love seeing old bits of kit bought back from the brink and given a new lease on life!. Nice one. Great job!. Can't wait for the next instalment!. Nuff said!. Maddog Melbourne Aus 🙂
Thank you buddy! 😊
@@Classiccarbscouk No worries!.
Brilliant journey its been. More than just a restoration, well done dudes. DUDES!😀
Dude..Thanks! 😊👍
Really cool to see her driving again an sounds like she's got some juice
Thank you, she's pretty juicy for sure 👌
Kates getting there Good work guys and Its a long road..😍Donnas away to Capri Heaven clearing the deck Rip..😃
Chuffed to bits with you guys for getting Kate back on the road and driving and sounding great.

Well done lads you have done really great from a rust bucket to a solid old girl keep it up can't wait to see her all dressed up

Thank you so much 😁
Glad to see you got it on the road again. it's running great. love it.
Thank you Ken! 😊
Love this video guys. The smile on your faces says it all. I've followed this from day one when you first got the capri. Sounds awesome. I've just bought a 2.8 capri this year they are fantastic cars .
Well done lads enjoy
Awesome! Thank you! If you ever want any help with your 2.8L , feel free to reach out 👍
@Classiccarbscouk thanks guys really appreciate it. 👍
The car sounds awesome at 60 mph lol you canny beat an old pinto on webbers for sound and pulling power great vid guys cheers
She sounds awesome at around 4-6k lovely smooth power delivery. Glad you enjoyed watching 😊👍
Having reached the end of the tunnel, the light is BLINDING. What a monumentous day for all of you that laid their hands on Kate, and from all of us mere spectators, nice f***ing job boys!
Oh guys!!! That sound is a three tissue fantasy. Having one of your 45 Webbers fitted to my MG BGT this week, hope it sounds half as good. Looking forward to future vids, not just of Kate but it's good to see the dynamics of the guys in the vids. Brilliant.
Thank you Dave!!
Fancy a race once yours is done at RRS rolling road? Mine is going in to Chris's once yours is done 😊
@@Classiccarbscouk LOL its a tempting offer. Gotta be a dry day though. MG's rust for fun and I'm trying to keep it white not brown. Would be a good vid. Test that Go Pro out.
Feel free to pop in with it when it's ready, would love to see it 👍
Will do. Might pick up something while I'm over👍
loved it great work guys, bet your very pleased.
Thanks 👍Very! 😄
Well done lads , I remember when you started on the drive when the wiring was a load of shit and that blue tent you put up ,keep it up ❤
Thanks Tony, will do 👍
Nice job on the Capri😊
Thanks! 👍
Nice to see Kate back on the road it’s perfectly normal for the diff to sound awful due to the way the clutches work but will give you a large smile when you step on the loud peddle £100 pound for a gallon of 2k paint I am sure between you and your friends you have the ability to paint her
Thanks Alan. Well the diff is still attached, in one piece and it works, so I think its good. Very noisy, especially when no load, and squeaks, grinds and cracles when turning, which was alarming when I first started driving her. But when I hit the loud pedal.. all is well 👌😁😁
Wow, driving your beloved Kate at last, what a feeling eh😊👍
It really is!
My first ever car,KMK520K,loved it,always liked the mk1,s
Been with you from the start 👍 Nice one 😄
Awesome! Thank you!
Congratulations, It's a long way from when you were trying to un seize the engine with fire at the side of your house, Well done.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant Kate's driving again well done chaps😎😎😎
Thanks 👍
Nice on Mano ! Looking good !
Thanks 👍
Great car. Well done Jurgen Klopp, Bill Bailey, and pals
Lol!! Thanks!
Fantastic well done boys
Thank you 😊
Just had a chance to watch the second half....you've created a BEAST, love the way she drives and I felt as though I was with you guys in her whilst you were Hooning! Just laughter and tears of joy for you. It must have been amazing and boy can she shift, full respect to you both for an epic build. Gonna be hard to put her to one side for a while, but as they say, business first, Kate a bloody close second😉😅👍. Take care guys and well done again...bet you're still grinning now eh😉
Thanks so much Andrew 🙏 ❤
She's alive 🙌 😀
Yes!! 🙌
@@Classiccarbscouk it looks like fun to drive .
Loved seeing you out and about in Kate.
Just wait tocits finished hope to see you at shows well done
Thank you 😊
Really happy for you guys. Its been a long road and now that Kate's back on the road, you can tick off that milestone and take a breather. Hope to catch up with you in the New Year when things (hopefully) pick up work and time wise. I'm aiming to get my project Escort van to the same stage as Kate by Summer next year. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Thank you Glenn! And thanks for helping us along the way :)
P.S. If i remember correctly, kate's engine block, crank and rods , was supplied by you, so thanks again Glenn, much appreciated =)
This is awesome lads kate sounds the dogs and looks like she dances we’ll hopefully see you and kate sometime and merchandise etc on website?
Thanks Richard. Yes I want to come down the meets at the Waggon to catch up with you.
Yep, we got merch in store and on the website.
Play the raffle for a chance to fit some suitable double webers on your 2002 😁
Well done guys, a great job done by all. For the colour, I think you should just clear coat her as she is for now. It tells the story of the last few years 👍
Great suggestion!
Congratulations from Germany on your first successful test drive.
Thank you very much!
SOUNDS SWEET 😮
Thanks 😄
You got a great team around you .
Well done dudes
Thank you Neil :)
Hi car looks and sounds great excellent job 👍
Glad you like it 😄👍
For me looking so good now.... Greetings from Poland Mate, waiting for more!
Thank you 😊 👍
Love this shit! Brilliant Lads good job, 3 long years and its running!
Thank you :)
What a fantastic car!! This is my first visit to your channel. You’ve made a brilliant job of this. I can’t wait to see it finished. It pulls very well eh!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed watching the vid, welcome and thanks for your comment 😊
Great video mano, see you tomorrow 👍
Where are you man?
Hi manny if you decide and I think you should paint it Daytona yellow,you should put a black vynalroof just like it did when it came off the assembly line👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Howya lads I'm watching from here in Ireland 🇮🇪 and we love our back wheel drive Ford's,
God bless Henry Ford,
LETS GO BRANDON 🇱🇷
Let's go Brandon indeed 👏 🙌 😁👌
Spray that a gorgeous Daytona yellow!!😉😉😉😉😉
Yep, good choice 👌
@@Classiccarbscouk hope you do?because my friend in late 70s had a mk1 3000 GT in Daytona yellow and it was fantastic.you did a fantastic job👏👏👍👍🤟🤟🙏🙏🏆🏆🍺🍺🍺🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😉😉😉😉😉
Finally. Congratulations🎉❤
Thank you!! 😊
I wish I had known you were gonna scrap Donna, so many bits I would have bought and few patch panels..
RIP Doner you live on in kate.. 👍
Who needs a steering wheel dude? 💥🙈🙈🧨🔥🚑🚑🚨🚨sorry officer that lamp post got in the way🤣🤣🤣🤣
The eagle 🦅 has landed
I repeat
The eagle has landed 🤴
LLTK ❤️
Brilliant Lads, well done. She sounds fabulous and goes like shit off a shovel. 😅🤣😂
She does 😄 thanks for the support 👍🏼 🙏
she looks and sounds amazing! well done dudes! what size carbs and cam are you using ?
Thanks 😊 carbs are Dellorto 45 DHLA with 36mm chokes fitted.
The cam is the piper BP300
Hey there
Please don't go El Cheapo on the paint job. Ok, doing the preparation yourself is a good plan to keep costs flat.
2k primer + 2k unilack I think that was on it.
Whether you want a clear coat is ultimately your decision. I think it quickly looks like it was pulled out of an oil bucket.
Oh and don't forget the cavity protection at the end.
Is there any way to support the paint build-up? I'm pretty sure the community would be happy to pitch in with a bit of spare money or a few buckets of wall paint.
Peace out 👍
Oh oh not finished yet 😁
How about designing a Kate paint Supporter sticker and selling it for say $25/£/€/potatoes?
Lol!! Potatoes?
Are you trying to say that you really want us to paint kate with a potato shade colour 😁😁🙌
Joking apart, I think she will be painted, just don't know when.
Thanks for the support over the last 3-4 years 🙏😊
@@Classiccarbscouk Sorry, I just got tangled up in a bottle of Latvian vodka. Any reason to celebrate. I'll answer in detail tomorrow.
Question: Did anyone today say British racing car green with 3 or 4 layer silver handlining?
Take u time, watch out for leaks, run u business & don't go out with an umbrella - we don't need another marry Poppins
Yes Dude's 🍩🍩🍩
6.48 sell it modern art lads,dice in the window,proper touch there ..me and wee garak are lovin it,i have a question is kate 4 or 5 speed?
Our greatest supporters!! If Garak wants, he drives kate, and if he can, does some donughts with her :)
She's 4 speed lads 👍🏼
@@Classiccarbscouk awesome dudes ,we will be up after i have my new hip
@@MINIMOTOMADNESS best wishes for a great result! 👍😊🤞
Exceptionally well done from where kate started but the numberplate lights have to be a older style light like a almost yellow orange tinge the ones u have are too modern
Let's face it, the only way to test drive a Ford Capri is by doing doughnuts in someone else's car park. Kate looks gorgeous.
That's funny and also it's a great title and main subject for a new vid! 'How to correctly road test a ford capri' LOL!! Thanks buddy! :)
Can't wait to see it. I'd like to send you and the team a bit of cash so you can have a few beers, or whatever, on me. I there a way that I can do that?@@Classiccarbscouk
Where's your seat belts 😮
Promo-SM 😬
I think Kate saved you, you were not in the best place when this adventure started. Congrats.
Might have been you who commented something like ''you need kate as much as she needs you'' ? Was that you?
I'll remember that sentence for a looong time ❤️
@@Classiccarbscouk I think it was, Your rise from the rust was a little quicker than Kates, long may it continue.
@@Classiccarbscouk But it wasn't just you, Kate has pulled in so many people that needed to help you both and in doing so helped themselves. The comunity growth has be glorious to watch.
@presstodelete1165 thank you. I'd like to make the most out of the audience we have, but it'll have to come naturally as I'm pretty much full on with work.
Perhaps focus on improving the content I publish here on youtube is a good way to move onwards.
Thanks for your comments 🙂
