[Matra et Alpine]

Nice project Adam.
I would budget to put a 'new' engine/gearbox in pretty soon. The Capri was always a let down lacking power and it didn't have enough to get itself out of the kind of trouble the dubious handling woudl get it in to.
I'd recommend getting the body floor and uinderneath cleaned and then review the whole project again. You might find more welding on the sills, chassis and floor pan than you think
Hope not, woudl be nice to see it in green and anthractie. I like it
