wont be needing any, i will just roll out new sections with an English press. thanks for the link tho

 

and just so you guys don't think i have run off there will be no progress updates for about two weeks, i have to go out of the province for work and so i will not be working on the car. i will try to keep posting on the forum trough my ipod though. i will try and get some pics of the fuel tanks i pulled last night. it was too dark for pics when i pulled them and too rainy today

 

when you can silver....we'll be here

 

Dark and rainy eh.

Don't worry summer is coming.

 

unfortunately this is the maritimes we get 3 season: warm rain, cold rain, and snow.... *twitch* oh well you learn to deal with it

 

ok so i am finally back!! and if the hurricane has moved on by tomorrow i will add another picture update

 

find any coins or hidden treasures within the carpet and seats?

Looking forward to Chapter 4...or wherever we are in your project.

 

That'll be the warm rain then?

 

yes very warm and humid, but if the rain persist i can just jam on my new guitar, anyway any of you happen to know where to get a hood cat for this thing? it just looks bare without it

and no no little treasures under the seats was surprisingly clean, no coins toys or ronchy ronalds fries (blech)

 

Going to be good, watching a craftsman at work.

All the very best with the restoration, will be following you all the way.

If you do get stuck for some bits, sing out and I'll dig through my UK classic car mags for some contact details.

 

I've seen them on ebay, you need the original one 7-1/2" I think, I actually have one in the attic back in Scotland, but I've had thay one a long time, it's off my second car and part of the family now.

 

For parts have a look at online catalogue for sc parts. co.uk
great reading...

I like your attitude. You sound like my kinda guy!

Following your thread with great interest, looking forward to updates.

ok so today i did not get as much done as i wanted to but here's what did get done

then break off the bondo

so i found that there was a patch put in here, terrible patch job but at least it was welded and not riveted so i will at least give that much to the guy who did it


unfortunately this is where i was forced to end today



due to my grinder trying to remove my knuckle



that coulda hurt

oh well will pick up a new one tomorrow and will finish that quarter panel if the clouds clear

 

right.... so it would seem where i hosted these pictures does not like the forum so i will rehost tomorrow and fix the pictures

 

It's coming on.

Not sure what's going on with the pics, I tried to edit them and could see them as I was doing it but then finished up with the same as you had, I have managed to make them show as an active link, so I guess that is progress.

 

hey all i apologize for disappearing for a year, i am not dead and that jag is not forgotten. i was involved in a motorcycle accident last year and my wrist got mangled up pretty decent. i have recovered and will be returning to working on the jag and posting pictures within a week or two.

Ps does anyone know of good restoration books or old owners manuals?

 

Oh yah, I remember this thread...and subsequent 'classic' jaguar project car. We're all glad you weren't hurt badly in that accident. Since I'm subscribed to your thread, I'll be getting updates when you post some progress entries in the future. Good luck, can't wait to see it return to all its glory.

Sorry can't help you with the manual question, I'm just a gawker and admirer of the saloon.

 

two weekends of solid rain blah, really wish i had a garage haha
