You certainly have your work cut out for you but I have to make one observation...that steering wheel cover is unlike anything I've ever seen before! It's as if someone couldn't decide which poor taste in covers to use, so they combined them all into a super-tacky, ultra-pathetic cover!

So... as I've gotten farther along I've noticed that most section of the car need some sort of body work. So my question is what years would my 77 engine and tranny fit if i decide to go with a donor body car?

Engine mounts are the same for all V12 models the gearbox mount may differ from the BW to the TH400. As long as you have the mounts from your car you should be able to install into any model, 6 or 12.

Without the front fenders on the whole front of the car will droop 2inces if you support it under the Jack points. You need to support it under the front subframe.

Well I've decided to part it out the body is too far gone to make it worth fixing. Ill be keeping the engine and trans to maybe use in another jag with a good body.
So if anyone one needs any parts let me know. I'll make you a good deal on the parts. Just let me know what you would be interested in and I can let you know what condition its in and how much.
Thanks
