    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.

  • @javierdenardo2607
    @javierdenardo2607 Před 4 lety

    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!

  • @MatchboxResurrection

    I had the Corgi. I bought it with my allowance in 1972-1973. It was less than a dollar.

  • @davidbeeson1178
    @davidbeeson1178 Před 4 lety +1

    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.

  • @RoadRunnergarage8570
    @RoadRunnergarage8570 Před 4 lety +1

    A FANTASTIC job on the Corgi casting too!!

  • @05gtdriver
    @05gtdriver Před 4 lety +1

    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!

  • @jelloncapriracer6424
    @jelloncapriracer6424 Před 4 lety +1

    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 :)

  • @andrewturnbull5897

    You did a great job as usual. Had the Matchbox as a kid. It was orange with black hood. The lowered stance on yours is a great improvement

    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.

  • @bladerunner4583
    @bladerunner4583 Před 4 lety +1

    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. ☆☆☆☆☆👍👍

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery Před 4 lety +4

    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'.

    Good job - always felt Corgi weren't very well detailed compared to Matchbox. The inner wings on the MK1 should be body colour though...

  • @AlvarezAzel
    @AlvarezAzel Před 4 lety +1

    Beautiful job Danny. I can't pick a favourite between the 2 they are both just that good!

  • @helmutquad1960
    @helmutquad1960 Před 4 lety

    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!

  • @DieCastRestos
    @DieCastRestos Před 4 lety +3

    Good work on both Danny. Dropping that ride height on the MB one was essential, and you really added a lot of detail to an otherwise bland Corgi Capri

  • @bentandre5524

    Love those colours and the new wheels look really good. I particularly like the stripe on the orange.

  • @raverboyloki
    @raverboyloki Před 4 lety

    They both came out decent, but if you are going the customization route I think there was a missed opportunity with the Mark I Capri in the details in the grille. You could have added a touch of orange/yellow to the indicator lights, possibly painted the headlights white, or a different color silver and even blackened in some of the grille so the silver really popped from the background. The Mark II came out great, and a good departure from the original.

    matchbox one has really nice proportions but the corgi one you just have to ask if they actually saw a capri ... good job on both though mate

  • @davidparker8221
    @davidparker8221 Před 4 lety +1

    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!!!

    @blkpig6664 Před 4 lety +2

    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..

  • @lotharrenz4621
    @lotharrenz4621 Před 4 lety +2

    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!
