My 1962 Mk 2 has a very rusty right hand front fender, and I am looking for a replacement.

I would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer regarding finding a car being parted out or some other solution.

 

A picture or description of the rust damage would help.

They have a great inventory of MK2's and other old Jags at very reasonable prices.

The front wings (fenders) were constructed of several separate pressed steel parts, then leaded to hide the joints. Martin Robey of the UK (based in Nuneaton) can sell you good quality repair panels. However a quick look on the website shows only LH side repair panels. Worth an e-mail, I reckon.

The Mark 2 wings are old-fashioned in being welded on, not bolted. This is then compounded by the spot welds being concealed by lead loading. Replacing a wing is quite a job, but not beyond the capabilities of a home mechanic, but you'll need a MIG welder, and know how to lead-load too ! Key to fitting is to maintain the door shut line. Jaguar bodies were made by Pressed Steel Fisher and lots of lead was used to hide faults and weld joints.
