Brisbane - 1968 Jaguar 420G restoration updates.
I have owned this jaguar 420G for around a year now. Purchased from a guy in Ipswich for $3200. At the time the car was in pretty average shape however it was running well.
The electronics of the car were basically a birds nest with dodgy fuses and electrical issues throughout.
Upholstery was and still is crap. Working on it!
I have sourced most of the missing pieces with thanks to another Brisbane
The wire wheels have now been replaced with MK10 hub caps and original wheels and a lot of extra bits have been adjusted. The original stereo is being rebuilt currently.
The woodwork is being redone at the time of this post. Slowly and properly.
