Gotta be my all time favourite factory 'Kustom'. I've owned both Classic's and a Capri and just love to see em modified. Here's a stock one for starters.

i remember your consul capri well dave. you did so much work on it i thought that you would never sell it. it looked much better in the ford monaco red with those big white walls thta you did it in bruv. cant think why he changed the colour to silver.
'Cos it was a complete shed by the time we bought it!!Originally Posted by luke-the-drifter1953
Still got it, and still need good front bumper!
Anybody know whereabouts of Consul Capri VTK 16. Was white with Appliance wheels when sold in '97.

don't think so, i think the guy i sold it to wrote it of??
Here are some pics of my Capri. If anybody recognises or has any info on my car from the past, I would like to here from you, as i have only owned my Capri for a year.
what a beaut
[quote=luke-the-drifter1953;208699]what a beaut[/quoYep looks neat with either set of wheels. You have got to be a Hank fan. Luke.
I've got a front and rear screen here if anyone can use them. Far from mint and have overspray and possibly scratches. Free to someone who wants them as spares or to use. Flippers can flip off! Collection only from Wirral or could take to whatever events were going to next year.

There is a fella who is having both a capri and a classic restored at Motoburo. I will ask and find out if he is interested for spares Chris. Thank you

I was told hotrodding was expensive, I laughed.......but it wasnt for long
They are great looking cars, Capris and Classics. My first unfinished project was a 4-door Classic - got the seats re-upholstered and re-did the rest of the interior to match, arc-brazed (who else has used one of those?) a pair of tubes into the front wing for twin sunken aerials, but was beaten by rusty (non-existent) rear valence and lower quarters. Then a Pop came along and by the time I had finished stick-welding a box chassis for that I had scrounged an old 240v MIG from work so just got stuck into replacing the bottom six inches of Pop body rather than finishing the Classic. I also bought my first house sooner after that, so the Pop went with me to my own garage(!) and the Classic stayed on my parents' drive.
Sold it to an old workmate who finished the bodywork (a fair amount of filler and fibreglass was involved), painted it and got it on the road. Only ever saw it once.
PS That got me wondering and as I could remember the registration I looked it up on the DVLA: so 638EOT is still a red 1962 Ford, but untaxed since 1987. I don't think it was 1987 when I sold it - pretty sure it would have been 1985, maybe 1986, so he painted it red and maybe sold it to someone who then did nothing with it.

Arc braze? Is that the stuff involving 2 carbon rods that produces a kind of flame? The holder and rods seemed to come as standard equipment with every arc welder. I tried using it but was clueless. Didn't realise I needed some kind of filler rod! I see tig brazing seems to be catching on lately, if YouTube is anything to go by, but the idiots insist on calling it welding. Uses silicon bronze rods. I can see the possible use in dissimilar metals, but otherwise useless if you can actually weld!

That's the one. I think my Dad bought the little yellow "arc welder with brazing attachment" in 1980 to restore his 1976 Fiat Miafiori
TIG brazing is nice - I have a roll of 1mm silicon bronze MIG wire that I use.
