Loving it man! We need more of these threads on here

These are amazing machines for the money when they're well sorted.

 

Fully agree!

 

Add my thanks to the group. It looks great!

 

Thank you all guys!
Today finally picked up my Jag from the paint shop. It takes 2,5 months to make it looks like it is now.


High mounted stop light placed i the right position.

All looks very pretty now.

 

Good job - I like the way the glass pops.

In the last picture I see a Mercedes behind your car, I hope you get it back home without it looking like that!

 

Be sure it wasn't look like Mercedes when i get home )))
It's a big problem in Russia. A lot of dust on the roads so if you need it clean in the winter you must washed it several times in a day.
Shoes are dirty, jeans are dirty. Terrible.
Usually in a winter it looks like this:



And i wish to come with the Jag to the UK for 30 years celebration of JEC

 

Some other updates.
I found that rear right sixlight glass is braked a little bit with some waves.


I was searching on eBay for a new replacement and i find it. Allready bought. Waiting to be delivered to the Russia.


This weekend i'd take my summer 19 inch wheels to have center wheel HUB make exactly for the Jag - it is 73.8 mm.


Then i'd take the car to the shop where exhaust was completely rebiult. It has some problems with rust and aligment. Rear right third muffler wasn't lookink good.


And the tail pipes weren't the same from both sides.
Now everything repaired and looks perfect.




Also my car has an old StarTac phone. Condition of the phone is very worse. A lot of marks of wearing and crackes. I fond some old StarTac at home and wish to make one good from two bad. StarTac for Jagusr has some different SW inside or HW - i don't know exactly so i wish to put main PCB from Jag motorola to usual phone. Also some lines on the Jags screen weren't work.




First off all take apart Jags motorola and then usual.


And just then i realized that usual moto doesn't have a slot for the sim. Damn... CDMA phone. Also PCB are different and the screens also so i have

 

And then i start here a new thread to solve issue with cold start: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-c-has-111973/
So i ordered two new Denso pumps to replace the old one. Also waiting to have them delivered to the Russia.

 

And in June i really wish to drive to the UK to celebrate 30 years to the largest Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. It would be a long trip (aprox 2200 miles one way) but it must be very interesting.

Now that is a meticulous restoration. Beautiful work sir. What are the specs on your wheels?

 

19x8.5 ET20 with 245/40 ZR19 tyres for frotn and 19x9.5 ET25 with 275/35 ZR19 tyres for rear.

 

Wow, I won't be visiting Russia in my Jaguar in the winter, I don't drive it in the rain!

Might see you at the JEC meet - 2200 miles is nothing to these cars if it's mechanically good you'll have no problems!

See you in June

 

Get a new tail lamps from UK. Those guys from whom i get those lights looks pretty stupid. I had pay them for one left and one right. What do you think i get?
I must start from the begining why i need a new lamps. My right has a crack cause of some small accident and rim on both lamps peel off a kittle bit so i decided to buy a new one.
So i get three lamps from them in total: two left and one right. And the right one has a crack!




The lamps were polished i think to take off some small scratches and i can see this polish paste inside the crack so this can't be done while lamp was shioed to the Russia. Somebody was polishing this lamp allready with crack.
I have contacted the seller but he continue talking that is was done by some post and just when i gets really angry he said he can make a refund but didn't tell how much. I will post a link on eBay on this seller later if didn't recieve any refund from him. So be carefull.

Bought a few days ago anothe Jags Motorola because mine looks very bad.

 

And i finally put a set of summer 19 inch wheels!










And find today that open trunk button losts growler so i must buy a new button.
Have no idea how it can happened.

 

Rostman,

I have very good experience with the guy (Patrick) from All4Jags (All4JAGS | JAGUAR PARTS - JAGUAR TEILE - JAGUAR ONDERDELEN) in The Netherlands.

They have plenty of parts in Holland, and run depots in several other countries.
My rear view mirror came direct from Spain, no issue.

Might be an alternative, and should work for Russia.
If language should be an issue, let me know!

Nice pics there...jags starting to look very clean indeed, what size are them rear tyres?

 

I really like the wood trim color. Where can I get that? I'm not digging the light color on mine anymore.

 

Thanks! I will look on their web and it looks they have a lot of good parts in stock.

 

Rears are 275/35 19, fronts are 245/40 19.
