2 jags in Belgium
Hello,
I'm Stefaan from Belgium. I'm a self employed electrician and I was born in 1982. I'm restoring two Jags.
I started with a non-complete RHD 240 which I'm converting to LHD and mk II style bumpers. You can see what I've done so far on Jaguar Mark 2 240 restoration
Because this was taking quite a while I bought a "nearly-restored" 1969 SI XJ6. As you may see on My Jaguar XJ6 2.8 there was more to do to get it in good nick than anticipated. After replacing the head I found out that someone at some point had taken the engine apart and mounted the axle to the distributor wrong. I'm still trying to adjust the timing now.
Thing ground to a halt in 2011 when I bought a holiday home that needed a lot of work and I've decided to finish that first (see olloy.vanslycken.be) - meanwhile the Mk II has had all the body work done and soon it will be coming home. I told the garage not to rush things...
So I will be looking for information and guidance on a lot of subjects, and I hope I can be of help as well.
