Capri - Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [16]

Well the engine bay certainly looks a fair bit better after several cans of spray paint. The gloss enamel seems to have worked really well. I first did the bottom section & cross member with the black & then applied several coats of the white. Some of the fiddly bits on the bulkhead required several attempts with one colour covering the other at times. The bonnet also came up pretty well. After it had all dried I encased the electrical wiring in the black flexible conduit which has a split so that the wires can slip in & that cleans up all the odd bits of wiring. It all takes time but it is at the stage now where things can start going back together.

Today, I got side tracked again but managed to screw back on all the electrical bits (coil, fuse panel, regulator) & assembled the windscreen washer tubing. I soaked the water container overnight in bleach & most of the stains were on the inside. Much of these came off but it still looks a bit oldish. I didn't replace the old black voltage regulator as it was connected to nothing. The next thing I need to do is drain the transmission & replace the pan gasket & when that is done, it is about time for the engine to go back in. (Double click on pics if you wish to enlarge)
