The Capri was a surprise guest at the local PCA C&C this morning. Runs great, comfy and solid. No rattles. Can't wait to get the A/C running again though...
Will probably be ready to sell by the end of the month.

Test fitting the A/C hoses with the new parts, prior to having the hoses rebuilt with new barrier rubber suitable for R134a refrigerant.

A funny thing happened this weekend—to use the common real estate phrase, the Capri is now "Sale Pending".
No, it's not totally finished, I'm still working on the A/C and a couple of other little details. But a person who's been following the progress online drove several hundred miles to come see the car now, and decided they needed to tie the car up now, before others might jump in. Didn't take long to agree on a price. I will finish the car over the next couple of weeks before it is picked up.
The primary thing I'm now working on is the A/C. I had all 3 hoses rebuilt using the original hose ends (save 1). I'm waiting for a binary pressure switch port fitting to splice into the hose from the accumulator to the expansion valve. Planning to evac and charge late next week.
And not long after that, the deal should be wrapped up.

Congrats Arne!
Great work Arne
No surprise
I think you are getting (urr - have long got) a very good reputation …
Love the posts
Time for the big goodbye to the Capri. The sale was final today. I'll be finishing a couple of details, then packing it up and storing it away to await transport.
