Good progress and starting to resemble a car again!

NEARLY rust free and can not wait to see all the panels back on. A great start to the year!

Thanks guys. Really pleased to see the progress being made. Repairs to the boot surround underway now and all having to be made from scratch as no repair panels available. Scott is doing a great job and as always, uncovering more rust but pleased to know it is being exposed and removed.

More progress and pics. Starting to take shape again and hopefully not too long until I have custom rack and pinion available.

Off side rear now finished (UK Offside) and quarter panel in place, we do not need a rear side repeater in the UK so have blanked this panel over.

Boot/trunk surround now finished, top deck/rear panel fabricated and replaced as well as offside rear inner and outer arches and quarter panel. Nearside arches and quarter next!! Scott also did some work on the front this week and is making great progress. Engine back in soon.... Just waiting on the steering, again!

Looks like your moving right along. Nice progress.

 

[mustaguar]

Thanks! Definitely moving in the right direction.

Scott has made a rotisserie and will allow welding jobs underneath to be finished and clean up all the old paint and underseal.

Long over due update. Good progress but not too much to show.

Car is now rust/rot free and cowls repaired so that we can get the car back on the ground and get the engine in. Welding completed underneath to cover in the IRS install, looks almost stock apart from the shock top hats! We will need to play around with the engine mounts and positioning to resolve the R+P steering issue and sump clearance on the Jag engine.

Next couple of weeks will have some good pics of the engine in place, gearbox mounts and can then attempt to get the engine running....

Great work I'm loving these pics. Keep 'em coming. Thanks

Thanks, has been slower progress but next phase underway and great to see the engine sitting in place. Has to sit quite far back and low to help R+P steering clearance on the Jag sump but helps with centre of gravity and looks awesome!!

Wow - nice sheet metal work and a very interesting project with the Jaguar Straight Six - keep us posted ::thumb::

 

[Don65Stang]

Looking great! Won't be long now. Keep the updates coming.

Wow your not joking around when it comes to the metal work. Takes a real artist to do all that.

Can't wait to see the end result.
