At this moment i'm working on putting on some wings and repairing some rust
On the right site one of the form,ers owners has fixed most of the rust already so i'm getting started on fixing the rust on the left site on the typical capri places ( front floor, wing mount, headlight bowl, and the bit behind the front wheels, )

the rest of the car is in quitte good conditin and doesn't need much attention ( rust wise )

the blue one isn't as good as i hoped
when i went around to do some poking at some places that could have rust ( aka wheel arch ) i found quitte a bit :(
so still plenty more work to do on the rust repair

the front innerwings are done right now and so is the hood ( had a few pinholes ) The inner wings are in the undercoating rigt now
i've still got some minor problems fitting the right wing but the left one is spot on at the moment.
Both of the wings do need to be mounted on the car thou

the floor is also rust free and the inside is almost ready for the interior

here are some pics of the car
