Hi Brett just wanted to Wish You ans Wifey A Very Happy Christmas And A Happy New Year with lots of Jag content our very best regards Andy & Sue Allen.

Hey ... brett... any recommendations for rust proofing...is there anything you do to prevent rust ...once you get a keeper...

Have owned many XJ6 jaguars 3 4 door saloons and an XJC COUPE manual with overdrive a V12 XJS and my favourite my 1964 mark 2 2.4 automatic that I bought in 1977 bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You've a big advantage in Oz over me in the UK, no bloody bodywork rust. The front doors on mine rotted out ages ago. Not to mention the rest. I did do the rear subframe mounts a while back they were comparatively easy compared with the front suspension ( I'm still on that) because the weather is diabolical here in December. Keeping making the vids.

Need a follow up on this one...

looking at one now...not running thing its the amplifier under the coil. Rest of the car is like new... see how we go... loving your youtube channel...been here for days now...more XJ40 videos?

Some cars just get under your skin. She want's to keep going !

Can't think of a better looking 4 door car.

Go video on fuel sender etc.

Champion

One nice car thanks for sharing

What great old Jag. Nice to see her running so well. Well done

There's a pretty nice 1987 S3 near me that is for sale. I'm seriously considering buying it.,

Enjoy your practical approach, no doubt fettling old Jaguars keeps you away from the pub. Mine is a 89 daimler 4.0L most reliable i have owned and definitely underrated (xj40) however i still rate the series 3 has a more refined car. Enjoy Christmas with your family. Mike from W.A

NIce resurrection, love the wry smile when you head out of the driveway. NIce job Brett.

Still beautiful even with the filler. Much better than those chrome spats. Loads of character! Thanks for saving her

Series 3 V12 on the grass looks great👌

Because of the upholstery I suspect this car is NZ assembled

Great to have this update. Really enjoy your videos.

Brett . I didn't think cars from down under suffered with rust . And KPH ? I also thought you were MPH in Australia . Thanks

Them old jags are the best driving cars about… far better than any modern crap. I’ve a series 2 triple Su and she goes like a scalded cat. The signal red is nice colour. In my opinion she would look far better with original chrome wheels and trim

occasianaly a car touches your heart for no reason Brett and I think that's the case with this old girl she will look smart when you do the paint so I look forwarded to the next part best regards Andy Allen

I think that is the one that wife called a sh*tbox 😅

You're doing Gods work saving that old lady 😊

It seemed that your wife was lurking behind you in the doorway during the outro, were you in trouble or did she just want a quiet word about your Jag collection?

It looks so nice!

A good short video is better than no video cheers 👍

I'm impressed with the work you've done on this old beauty to get her back on the road, and I feel the same way that you do about the car, since my first jag was signal red, albeit a Series 3. Here's wishing you a happy and enjoyable Xmas.

Was going to try and post some pics of a 1973 series 1 retrieved from a shed in Leonora WA - mint perfect unrestored interior, no rust ever etc etc $1,500 - but the mechanicals were a disaster!!! Love your vids by the way :)

I worked at a Jag/Aston Martin dealership years ago. Even though the Aston was more exclusive, I always liked the XK8 more. Looking forward to seeing this one fixed up.

Run in the opposite direction

Lovely motor twin and single headlights versions not sure bout that steering wheel though

Made me all misty eyed…dead ringer for my old V12 S3. Blew a water hose under the right hand exhaust manifold and overheated. Replaces hose and gave it a crack and it was fine. These ain’t as fragile as the 6 I reckon. Only downer was the gearbox…really needed a 4 or 5sp auto

That noise could even be the Cat Converter's innerds, which is how they sound, once shaken loose.

Greetings from Cairns mate, .. Well done I reckon and one heck of a lucky find all ‘round. Can’t wait to see how it all works out for you!

Im enjoying the entertainment✌

Does it have a rainbow flag on the door too?

Not going to lie the xk8 rag top is alright. Though I much prefer to tin top. But omg your XJ is gorgeous

I hope the limp mode is just it needs a gearbox service 🤞

At least it was a good "aww shit"

Once this cat is up and going probably ya missis will claim it 4 herself , be a nice ride i recon

CREATE EXUBERANT

Good on you, absolute bargain so it seems.

If it is a loose flex plate check the crankshaft bolt holes and make sure that they are not elongated! Maybe a replacement crankshaft if that’s the case 😮

A really nice looking Jag. Will look forward to your next video.

...no mention of the plastic tensioner on that V8?...great channel...saludos from México...

Really looking forward to watching your progress on this one, it would be great to see it all sorted.

Purrrfect😊

Glutton for money pit punishment!
