So onto the electrics in my new Hooper Consul Capri… To cut a long story short, nothing worked.
I bought a new battery and fitted it but still nothing worked, and when I saw nothing, I really mean nothing! It was clear that the capri needed to be almost completely rewired. As my Consul Capri had been retrimmed by Hoopers, it had some extra electrics over the standard Consul Capri that rolled out of the Ford factory.
The extras included:
- A light in the glovebox
- A light under the front parcel shelf
- Reversing lights
- A boot light
- And my favourite, but most daunting of all, electric front windows
Well that was just a brief description of the electrics, I’ll talk later about how I got them all working again but next I’ll be talking about the chromework on the Capri.
