First of all, please excuse my English; I speak
Spanish.

 I live in Uruguay, South
America and I am 20 years old.

All of this restoration was an experiment for me,
because I know little about restoring a car.

This restoration was totally done at my home, not in a
professional workplace. This was the best that I
could do.

This is my 1972 FORD CAPRI (exact model: 1972 German
Ford Capri Pre-Facelift MK1 “Puma”). I bought it in
January 2005. The car was really wrecked when I
bought it. It had a 2300cc COLOGNE V6.

Because I like these cars so much, I am trying to
restore the Capri myself. The first thing that I did
was strip off the paint (the car had 7 layers of
paint). I worked a lot on this. The next step was
to work with fiberglass filler in some parts such as
the trunk and the underside of the car. After that, I
painted the doors, the trunk, the hood and the roof.
Then, I painted the sides of the car.

The next step is to paint the car. I am going to
paint the Capri black whith 2 white stripes down the
center of the car (like a Camaro Rallye RS or a Chevy
Chevelle).

I could really used your advice to continue improving my capri

I painted some parts and put the car in height.

THERE IS ONE SIDE IN PROCESS AND THE OTHER FINISHED

Here is the front just a "little" low.

Well i paint the unibody, looks very good to be the first time i paint a car.

I paint the second layer of black and put 2 lineas of PAPERS to see how going to see a real rally lines in the car, in the computer i test diferent colors but i think the white is the best.

I finish the left door, they took me a lot of work,(THE GLASS
TOOK ME A LOT OF WORK) A LOTTT.
the next step is give him shine
Tell me, dont look like a gangster car door?

I took off the differential, and (i dont now the word) use a process that involved sand at high speed.

LOOK IT AFTER WORK ON IT

The car have new shoes.

now, me and a body going to low the back of the car, we do it, putting a pieze of wood beetwen the differential and the suspencion,
In the pictue, we are probing how low going to be,

and... there is, what do you think?

i paint the hood;

and pulish it, in some parts..

the process took me a lot of time, if you check the date im going more than a year.
