Love them both Danny , the orange Capri looks awesome considering its a cheaper end model , yiu're made it look 10 times better. And l remember the Mk1 from Bad Taste film that film is hilarious 😄 . Great job on both Danny !👍
Two fine looking cars Danny.👌 Fun cars to drive too; not for the faint-hearted. They drove beautifully in straight lines but corners, even roundabouts, were a laugh a minute. If you look up "tail happy" in a dictionary, there's just a picture of a Capri 3ltr. Excellent work on *both* vehicles.👍 Cheers for now, Dougie.
Incredible transformations. I like the way you play tribute to how people customized these cars back in the day. And the irony is that you won't find any of the real cars anymore!
Two silk purses from sow's ears. I liked the Matchbox, but it sat way too high, as you said, and I never cared for the Corgi, as it always had that thick, white paint all over it. But you've made them both look awesome. Nice one. P.S.- if you get any more Mk III Capri models, paint one gold, and one silver, to represent the cars used by Bodie and Doyle in the TV show 'The Professionals'.
Even before listening to your commenting on what colors fans were asking you to on these Capris, I was thinking orange with the S stripes would like awesome and lo and behold, you did that exact paint scheme. Brilliant! The Matchbox MK1 looks awesome too! I restored the same Matchbox MK1 but painted it bright red to mimic my 1st ever car back in the early 80s. It would have looked nice to replicate a Perana Capri in bright yellow with a black bonnet for the MK 1 too. Great work!
Both of them turned out great, I like matchboxes casting a little bit better than corgis. That doesn't matter though because you did one hell of a job on both of those.
I drove a used red Mercury Capri back in the early 80's. Looked a lot like your before Mk1. If only I could have cleaned it up as easily. :) Great work.
Wow!!! Being a citizen of the U.S. of A, I have no references for the movie or TV cars you modelled these from. But they seem to be "spot on" as you might say. They both go way beyond their basic toy roots and now look interesting and fascinating, and so well done. On to the next, continue to have fun with your toys and productions!!!
Hi, nice made restorations! The Ford Capri was here in Germany the rival of the Opel Manta A. It was a great time to drive both of them. I decided to take the Opel. It had double Headlights and looked more sportive than the first Capri. But it was an aera when cars from different manufacturers looked different, not like today. Greetings and best wishes!
EXCELLENT JOB DANNY LOVE THE DEEP PURPLE (FLAVORITE COLOR) AND THE DETAIL YA GAVE BOTH OF THEM MATE. SIDE NOTE NOW IM NOT SURE BOUT OTHER COUNTRIES BUT HERE IN THE U.S.A THE CAPRI WAS MADE BY MERCURY NOT FORD EVEN THO THEY ARE PART OF THE SAME CAR COMPANY I SAY THIS CUZ I OWNED A 1983 MERCURY CAPRI. ☆☆☆☆☆👍👍
Beautiful customs. I love the paintjob on the Matchbox and that orange on the Corgi. Orange is one of my favorite colors and looks good on most cars in my opinion.
Always had a tough time with which I liked more with these. I did always have one as the baddie though... Matchbox had the more Rally look to it so it at most times was the baddie. Corgi suspension was great in their trucks, not so much in some Cars, yet the Body on this one screamed Agent. Ahhh yes, great times ;} Proper job mate. I still want to pay you to make me some if I send them. Truth, my wife thinks I'm such a kid and crazy too, buuuuut..
Wow, both cars turned out really beautiful. The Corgi turned out the best in my opinion. Those wheels are perfect for this casting and they go good with the paint scheme. Excellent job. Thanks for sharing another great video, take care and stay safe.
I have same white Capri but with beige interior. respray it on red like my '79 Capri was "born" :) Orange one look awsome, door handles in mk3 should be black :)
looking great! love the colour choices and the wheels in both. :) also, the "S" decal looks accurate. I think there were also designs that had the stripe cut into blocks, and several "S" fading out towards the "S" at the rear wheel well. maybe you could design those too, and sell them in sets. there are so many corgi capri Mk3 out there, there must be a market. I know I'd buy a set!
The Mk1 has a bent roof that could have been reshaped with a bit of hammer tapping. Also, may I suggest using Bare Metal Foil for chrome pin striping. Otherwise, brilliant customs once again. Oh, and I was almost astonished that you didn't say "scruffy-looking", but then you said it after about 13 minutes in. Haha
