1966 Jaguar E-type here from North Carolina for restoration
-
Let's see what's under that shiny red paint
-
How about new floor all the way around
-
Complete right floor replaced
-
Now both floors are replaced
-
And we need a new rear tub. Fortunately shipped just
before the wedding.
-
Lower section of rear wing needs replacement.
-
Small parts are fabricated in house.
-
New rocker panels and the body is back to all metal
-
With all that new metal, let's make sure the doors, trunk,
and bonnet fit properly.
-
Miraculous - the bonnet is in magnificent condition
(it had been replaced at some point)
-
Epoxy primer applied to inner and outer panels
-
Floors sealed and ready for paint
-
Amazing, it's not red
-
Body Primed
-
Bonnet Primed
-
Body painted in original opelescent dark green
-
Reassembly underway with new and reconditioned parts
-
Upon inspection, the engine is showing it's age
-
Nothing a rebuild won't take care of
-
How about hotter cams and stainless steel headers
-
Freshen up rear end. Customer will appreciate remote
brake bleeder kit.
-
Make way, here comes the engine
-
Suspension, steering, brakes... Everything coming together.
-
That custom made radiator and oil cooler will keep this
car running cool.
-
Rear suspension assembly being installed
-
Got to love stainless steel exhaust
-
Time to tackle the interior
-
Yes, that's correct, it is the original suede green.
-
Back home for the enjoyment of all!
