If your smashed up, bashed up, broken down or just lonely, who ya gunna call, The Jag Man!
I'm no mechanic but would consider myself as DIY backyard enthusiast.
I know little about everything but not a lot about anything so dont do what I do unless you are an idiot! I have a passion for old Jaguars from Series 1 XJ's right through to X350's and always have Jaguars in my garages. My roll in this channel is to rescue old Jags before they end up in the scrap yard and get them back on the road again for someone else to cherish our motoring history. Enjoy!

1973 Jaguar Series 1 backyard find. Thousands of $$$ of extra parts!
I really only bought this car for the large number of parts the owner had purchased to eventually restore it, which never happened! So what does a 51 year old Jaguar that has sat outside for 17 years front up like? Let's try to start it!

Well I'm not sure about this one. She's been sitting in the same spot backyard for 17 years close to salt air. She was subject to a comprehensive refurbishment a long time ago but is she recoverable

I just found a dry stored 1977 Double six, Squadron blue with black vinyl roof. It's been parked since 1996! luckily the guy drained both tanks, coolant and brake fluids. Should be a fairly easy job to bring it back to life.
Have you still got this cat? Current mileage?
I just bought my second XJ40. I've never understood why these cars aren't held in higher esteem. I know I sure like 'em!
theure gorgeous but theyll have the shirt off you
3.6 is indestructible. all the others are made of playdoh
1998?
88
Have some way to go to get mine to that standard! All credit to you,looks outstanding!
Looks tidy series1 Xj , you'll make it itbetter
Any Jag display is great no matter what the weathers like I reckon.👍🏻
6 litre XJS thanks
Call the shitbox Skelton (Red Skelton)
😂
That was a beautiful piece of documentary, nice music too, Can't believe I overlooked this Episode till now ! Go on, show us you half dozen S types (my fave Jag). Dave
Will do a better one soon!
Nice car. I had a 4.2 the same colour loved it.
It's a good day with a few Jags
And shabby (jerky) camera work too Brett. Not like you.
Thanks Jag Man, I've just bought a 2005 XJ8 4.2litre in Radiance Red, what a cruisemobile ! My wife keeps finding excuses to drive it. I went for alloy construction this time round as I well recall rust in my 1963 Mk2 and my 84 series 3
Great to see Mike! Enjoy!
This lady must come to life!
Man, how lucky with that climate, reasonably happy with the undercarriage......it's friggin' spotless ! Easiest job ever.
It’s easy to restore a cloudy headlight. The issue is that you also polish away the protective uv coating so the headlight will go cloudy again in a few weeks. You have to spray on a uv coating after polishing
just have to keep the polish up to them or as you said new uv coating
Do a product comparison on aluminium using autosol, mother's mag polish, gumption etc ....jags have plenty of chrome etc
Damper nut is 34mm
Well plenty of spares and I am feeling confident Brett that you will resurrect this Jag with your usual flair looking forward to the next part very good video best regards Andy Allen.
Please make more videos if you can, they are great to watch I love the old Jags Good luck with the engine (my fingers and toes are crossed)!
More TJM videos would be great, but no doubt it's quite time consuming for you.
Keep up the good work JM, look forward to see if you can get it running. I’m a jag man myself and it’s great you are trying to bring these back to life.👍🏻
Thanks Mike
Perhaps removing the head might make a good video? I would certainly watch that. Much better than having to do it myself.😁
Could be an option, but let's not jump ahead of ourselves 😁
Really hope the old girl will turn over. A lot more viable to move on if she’s a runner. Certainly worth saving, she’s pretty solid. Good luck Brett.
It seems like the last owner had a lot of plans and parts to fix it up to his requirements… shame that didn’t happen and it got abandoned. Hopefully you can get it running and fit the fuel tanks, maybe strip out the daft aircon ? Use the worthwhile spares, sell on the rest….
'Maybe I should get rid of some shit' 😀...good luck...looking fwd to the next one.
Itll be interesting watching the progress of the rebuild. Many episodes I reckon looking at the condition of it.
Good luck with it! Looking forward to your next update.
Oh yeah , the old engine mount repair using araldite. Been there, done that. Lasted a few hours .... Although I think I reinforced it with tie-wire, Anyway, a big flop .....
😁
Quel chance vous avez de trouver ces merveilles !..moi qui adore les Jaguars xj surtout en serie 1...les plus belles !...mais chez nous en France plus difficile a trouver.evidement...
Hi Brett....how do you get the book by Bradley McLean ?.....cant find it in Europe......really could do with it....
I should be getting a commission from the publishers, I have referred dozens to it😊 www.ebay.com.au/itm/264940048514?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=ajmZY2wqTdG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_h4MRy2hShi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@tjmthejagmandownunder thank you !
Love the videos....these cars are dreadful in so many ways....yet addictive....Im tinkering with a usa xj6 at the moment.....the electrics are such a joy!!!.....my heart sank when I saw the tangle of wires underneath the dash on the black one......St Jude would weep !
Thanks Mark
Inboard brakes are a pain! The guy who came up with that design must have been smoking something really strong…! Good luck with fixing!
Good luck with the new project. You have the discipline to sell something before you buy the next thing! Unfortunately I don’t….! Still married though….!
😁
Stunning outcome. What a beauty.
Nice find!
Hello mate, I think your doing a great job saving these old dutcheses. I think you should be knighted for your efforts( yes I'm a pommy barstard) all the best mate👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤣 thanks Liam
Thanks for this pretty comprehensive heads-up on what to look for and how easy/difficult various problems are to fix.
You would be better off spending time sorting all your other Jaguars out.Starting with that headlining in that XJS of yours. There is an obvious reason that example has sat around for years. I know I sound harsh but I stand by my comment.
You sound like my wife! 😂 The xjs is booked in for a new headlining. Yes agree I'm working on all of them, but without the cars, I would not have enough content, plus it's a passion!
@@tjmthejagmandownunder Your wife was the first person I thought of after the last series 2 you bought!! Haha. There are plenty of cheap jags always available that are a great to do a makeover for YT content. Extreme cars that need too much are not viable to do are a waste of time and money imho. Im recommissioning my 94 XJR6 so I bought a great XJ Sport as a donor car for all those little bits and pieces that are hard to find.to me make 1 great car out of Two then move the donor car on. Keeps her in doors happy 😆
@@94xjrgodown2 lloyds have a 95 xjr going to auction today
@@tjmthejagmandownunder Be interesting to see what it goes for. There is one up here on the Gold Coast in Black up for grabs 17k which is a steal
I have a set of rhd luggage trays for under the dash…. Willing to sell them!
I think that car is long sold But it's good to know you have them
Buy this car. It’s very straight and someone really cared for it. If you can clean it up a bit, get it running and move it on then it would make a viable resto project for someone. The parts alone are worth it
Used to have the XJ40 XJR.. No supercharger but looked fantastic.
Love your content and commitment to the brand . Now for my cheeky bit - Anyone here in Aus have a 3.7 lsd for sale ? It’s going in an ( xj6 ) S1 housing .
Easy resto Brett. YOU CAN DO IT!
Hi did you but the jag ,if not what do you think it is worth.
Yes😁
Lovely car at a fraction of the price it would fetch in the UK.
Well Brett we know you like a challenge so I say go for it if anyone can resurrect this Jag it's you best regards Andy Allen.
