I know exactly what you going through im doing a 3.0s one of the first MK3 it's got MK2 interior bin on now for last 10years just front end to do hopefully finish at same time and go to Capri meeting and meet you keep up the good work
Wonderful that you are back Jamie! Well done getting the bigger unit and really looking forward to seeing the work continuing on that lovely Capri. Have a great year buddy! 🙏👍
Glad you are back mate,it does look a daunting task but i have seen a lot worse restored,you have the attitude to tackle anything,and more space is always a boon.
I did think about that but I wasn’t sure if the landlady would say no I will have a word with her I did think about that just stick the axle everything all out of the
I am surprised panels are a little tricky to get hold of now, due to the age of the car sadly, you may have to start fabricating stuff up sadly. Great to see you at it again, as for the floor repair, where the hell do you start with that? looks like the full nosh is shot to shit. You want to be taking some measurements etc on the donor car before you even go cutting the donor up. Just so you have some references on this shell, keep at it pal.
Complete new floor all the way through complete new shassyComplete new floor all the way through complete new shassy Guru shassi new Box. get it all done pull it all in then get all the blooming body panels done Instead of patching it you're just good at the lot Fuel tanks were black actually as he was mad they gathered eyes dumb and all that lot tidied him up

Try contacting Pete C from Cortina City, he uses a company caleed Expressed Panels who produce lots of panels for old vehicles at sensible prices
Ive used
Express panels mate that’s were i got the inner sill and floor panel from and they was both poor
Why don't you just get the thing acid dipped.. you will get rid of all the rust and have it primered which will stop it rusting further
