XK150 sill now ready for fitting

Finished welding up the newly fabricated RH sill today and checking all the alignment with the mounting bracket holes. Reused the old bracket which mounts the front of the sill to the chassis as it was in good condition. Not the easiest job,getting everything to line up correctly, lots of swearing involved. Also painted up the new sill and the repaired door hinge boxes and arms, all now have fully removable pins so they can easily be removed in the future without having to remove the front… Continue

STOLEN XK/E-TYPE JAGUARS AROUND THE WORLD

About a dozen XK/E-Type Jaguars were stolen around the world between 2008 and 2009. Track them on my GOOGLE JAG MAP. Imagine an ex-wife out of spite stealing her husband's 15 year E-Type restoration project and trying to sell it on eBay.

I'm wondering if there is anyway that Philip Porter or Terry McGrath through their contacts might be able to get the full "builder's plate" information from the J(D)HT so that they… Continue

Todays project on the XK150

Removed Torsion bar and finished stripping the RH chassis rail of paint and treated with metal conditioner prior to giving it a coat of POR15 anti rust paint. When fully dry I will be spray painting 2 coats of black enamel over the the POR15. The overhauled suspension components can then be reinstalled.

Google Jaguar World Map (Stolen Jags Registry)

The GOOGLE JAGUAR WORLD MAP happens to be my favorite Jaguar project. It shows the location of XK/E-Type Jaguars all around the world. The purpose of the Google Jag Map is not limited to simply point out their location. The MAIN purpose of the Map is that it almost instantaneously broadcasts a type of "All Police Bulletin" for any/all stolen Jaguars if and whenever one of them get stolen.

IF EVER ONE OF THESE… Continue

Restoration Progress

The LH side of the car is now virtually finished, the front wing is back in position and held with pop rivets temporarily and will be rewelded when final gap alignment is complete. Remade all the bottom section of the RH Cowl support structure and welded it into place, also replaced the bottom footwell panel of the RH firewall which had a hole in it and was a bit rusted. The new RH sill is half made. Going to repaint the front of the RH chassis today in preparation for remounting the suspension… Continue

Some progress on XK120 restoration

Tuesday visited my Jag in the shop. Ready to go to the painters on Wednesday, but left Florida for San Diego so I do not know what the current status is. I took some pictures, but have not had the time to upload and update my blog.

I really need to do that, as there were some political problems hanging up progress on my project. Details to follow in my blog.
