This poor old 1979 mk3 ford capri has definitely seen better days! After spending over 30 years in a driveway in south London can I drag it out and get it running and driving again?

I've wanted a Classic Ford Capri on the channel for years but they never come up in this condition and are commanding pretty high prices at the moment.

Do you think this project is worth saving or is it too far gone?

Thank you soo much for watching!!!

I definitely want to see this happen!
What I like about your channel is that you bring cars back to life rather than just starting them and then parking them back in the ditch.

It’s a Capri, viewing figures will be great for a restoration

For the love of the car gods please restore that beautiful beast. The Capri is one thing that Ford got right, it deserves to live on.

The Capri absolutely wants to live, (it almost started first time) you’ve got to do the full restoration PLEASE 🙏 This is why I follow the channel.🤞🤞👍

I'm 70 years old and have worked on these cars for years. Iv had 3 Capris over the years and I'm sorry I didn't store them. But you go for it young lad. and I wish you the best of luck with it. Looking forward to seeing it on the road we're it should be.

After the way it nearly started straight away and then driving around your yard this Capri has just been waiting for someone like you - it's got to be restored and brought back to life again.

I'd forgotten how lovely the exhaust sounded. A real blast from the past.

The Capri’s shape looks better and better as the years go by. Timeless classic. Great video sir.

Would love to see the Capri back on the road, I'm sure your fabrication and welding videos will attract decent views.

Good old days no stupid sensors all over the place.😊

Id love to see you get it back on the road, even just the bear bones would be superb to see

@ClunkerCars 1 month ago

1000 times yes! I’d love to see that. Not just because of how much you love a Capri but because of the state of it. It would be cool to see how it can be brought back around. We need to keep the old Capri’s on the road to remind people (and Ford) what a Capri actually is.

Restore the Capri !!! Your restoration channel is why I'm here 🙂

Made me cry to see it at first , but it started !!! A sign !! Deserves to run again !!!

The fact you've literally done the basics and not only did it start but also drove! If your doing the work and you can turn it around for that kind of money it's definitely worth a shot.
