1973 Jaguar

Not a complete resto...just a detrim and re-shoot deal.

Hope to have this finished up in the next few weeks.

Mk I V12 - sweet . I had a 76 Mk II V12 thirty years ago, beautiful car that drove fantastically ............ when it worked

thanks. yes he has a fortune in the motor and re-wiring on this thing. He says it is sentimental...it definately isn't worth all the money being dumped into it. He's had it a while. Should make a nice car when he's done.

You are bringing back bad memories, may have nightmares tonight.. lol.. looking good though.

did the Jaguars also have Lucas Electronics, or was that just MGs? A friend is always telling me horror stories about Lucas Electronics and the "dark side" of British cars.

I had a boss once who owned an XJ12 and sold it 6 months after he bought it. Spent nearly 1/2 that time in the shop being worked on.

If there was a more complicated way to wire something, Lucas did it.
Nice paint work.

That's a nice red!

I was doubtful about the color. It is Ford "Candy Apple Red" from the 90's. On the chip and in the engine bay I wasn't a fan. Now that color is on the body it has grown on me. It isn't extremely bright and doesn't have that muddy look for a darker shade. I prefer a bright in your face red, but this shade fits this car. The owner is happy and that's all that matters!!

Nice work as always.

Why someone would waste a dollar on some cars is beyond me.

 

[Chad.S]

do you remember the paint code for this, looks like the color a customer is requesting for his impala.

 

[jeremyb]

Either EU or 2k. Both should pull the same, 2K was 1980-1990 and EU was 1990-1998 according to the sikkens database.

 

[Chad.S]

ok.. thanks.

 

[jeremyb]

doors painted, cut&buffed and hung on the car. Windshield and back glass installed.

yes on 2nd pic the face of the hinge isn't painted. Will mix some ss and paint them. I did not want to remove the hinge from the door for ease of alignment back onto the body. The doors were aligned pretty well when I got the car in. I jambed the doors out and completely forgot about the face of the hinge. LOL..we are all human!

 

[jeremyb]

Finally got this thing finished up, atleast my end. Customer has a long way to go...next stop is interior shop.

The owner brought it by the other week after the interior was completed. Came out pretty nice.
