Talking 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.

The colour is a custom mix based on Regency Red, which is a Ford EL colour with gold flakes throughout
