Building a Ford Capri Perana Tribute Car

[@Nigelblandin]

Great build and a great soundtrack. Thanks for brightening up the day!

[@cguitarallday]

One of my favorite cars. Hard to find. I’m glad people are saving them.

[@cossied01]

Scene changes did my head in !

[@scherritknoesen148]

Really like this.... I restored a '69 1600gt and now run a Mk3 track day Capri. Sweet cars and great to see your attention to detail. Ignore the haters.... there are always matters of taste. I like the quad headlights but personally prefer the small tail lights- but its your car! Have it your way!

[@j.thomas7128]

Oh My! Absolutely STUNNING!!! I had an MkII and 30 years later, I still miss it.

Nice looking outcome! I had three Capris when I was a kid. ‘71 2000 and two Black Cat ‘76’s. Both of those were totaled in two separate freak near head on collisions. 😥 Looking back at those pics of the wrecked cars, hard to believe I lived through them both. Probably a tribute to the heavy gauge sheetmetal of a German made car. There was a guy in my town back then that had a white Rock Stock Capri. Huge flared out fenders. Car was stunning and I always wanted one. Closest I ever got is the AutoArt 1/18 white wide body diecast I bought a couple years ago. Beautifully crafted example, but NOT cheap!

My dad had a red capri when I was small, loved that car, oh and mango groove too!

[@888rogermoore]

I didn’t mind the music. Was colourful.

[@ammarhusin4389]

Looks new and cool

[@garageblitztv3215]

Beautiful work - well done…

[@Lionell1952]

Only mistake (although I think it looks better) is the double round headlights. Original BG Perana had the square headlights. Other than that a very nice build!

[@elmonteslim3711]

Nice job boys.

[@mfwicwaterproofingptyltd6199]

What a beautiful build. Awesome Awsome Awsome

[@Tracertme]

awesome... well done.

[@EugVR6]

To put the performance of the Perana into context, it could out drag V12 E type to 100mph, which is the equivalent of a modded Mondeo beating a McLaren 720 today.

[@LC3Detplus]

beautifull job

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

Hey Darren love your capri. I was really into them back in the 90's I have had so many I cant remedies how many now. My last capri was a beautiful forest green 72 with the 2.6 I built it up just a little lol. It had been bored 40 over mild with a isky cam Mallory dual point dist. Offenhauser 4 barrel with a well jetted holly 390cfm. Clifford headers and Ansa exaughst. Suspension was mild 2 inch drop faster camber kit. Koni shocks an around. Inch and 1/4 front away bar with anti dive blocks built by me. Still wish I had that car. I had started the northwest capri club in Washington state USA also had been to england for capri fest have tons of pictures. Any way you brought back some good old memories. Thanks for that. Please feel free to message me if you ever want to b.s. about capri's

[@danielkavanaugh4544]

I owned a euro Capri for about 3 yrs wish I'd kept it

[@shawnshaw3181]

Hi. I've enjoyed your videos and appreciate your putting the Capri through the paces. Just curious, what was involved to convert the front hubs over to a 5-lug? Thanks.

[@b12kult]

nice work, wouldn't mind to own one and to drive it like I stole it !!!!

[@lewiscollins1045]

Nice work but the perana wasn't a face lift mk 1 they were the model before.

[@georgebrucks2833]

That looks like my first car, a 73 Capri V6. What’s the VIN? Never mind, I see it is a 74.

[@johnfitzpatrick9994]

Looks fabulous

[@paulbennell3313]

Badass!

[@fb3824]

Nice specs

[@hendrikvdberg8433]

Stopped watching 30sec in just because of the music.

[@ianhilton6015]

Needs more clocks

[@20alphabet]

Good video, except for the monotonous "music".

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

End result was very good. Very hard to watch with that diamond frame change and the hideous music. Can't believe on such a heavily modified car they didn't replace the skinny gutted standard steering wheel with a nice Momo.....Would've liked to have Heard the car instead of the music to the bitter end.

[@74argtv]

Adrian, thanks for insulting my creative video editing. However Mango Groove is NEVER hideous! Mango Groove is a South African icon, like the Perana. You obviously have no appreciation for Township Music; your loss. If you want to hear the car you can watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmyfYiHqr5kfJY or this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6KlhYeopaqjiJo. Music in these videos is free so feel free to critique.

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

Darren, I replayed the video and walked away from it and just had the music on. In isolation without looking at the video I could enjoy the music and hear it's African Sound. I guess for me the 2 didn't work together. Sorry if you feel insulted about your creative video editing, it just made it hard to watch.....If you had Epilepsy you'd be on the floor.....Like I said, end result was very good, you've built a Great Car, and The Perana proves that the Capri should've always had a 302 option, especially in Australia.

[@amiragill5476]

If I want to contact you regarding the car rebuilt what is the best way?

[@74argtv]

Let me know what your interest is and have your email address, and I will contact you.

[@amiragill5476]

my interest in in a the ford capri, my email address is [e-mail]

[@kirkmaddocks5268]

I have a 3.0 V6 I'm trying to find a reliable person to do same body work 💪

[@gregfarmer8448]

Slow down the timelapse. Way too fast and did you get bored with the photos in the end cause it went from a very unfinished state to driving it on the road. That said, great rest job, you should b e proud. Just too hard to watch for people who like to take in some detail of your work.

[@lesteranddonna]

Ruined by Quela music ! What were you thinking ?

[@alanjm1234]

"Maticulous attention to detail"?

[@christopherhann6725]

Great car but not a fan of the mango groves

[@danielfox3003]

Nice car but that music was made for an all gay disco swing boat cruise.

[@ekim000]

Befok!

[@Steve19105]

My goodness, I would love to watch this video, but the horrible music made me stop it!

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

La mustang du pauvre et plus riches de bouilles

[@jessphuqette1716]

The music is horrible
