Now we finally have some parts for the wrecked #jaguar #ftype #svr we can get to work rebuilding the car which we saved from the scrap yard.
With structural damage we need to replace some of the parts that sit underneath the body panels so this is the place to start.
I am still having an absolute nightmare with parts being incorrectly listed and not showing up which is starting to become even more of a problem!

You and Mr Armstrong are dominating TH-cam… love this build 👍
Thanks Michael!
mat armstrong from wish
@@ٴۥٴٴٴ dont watch then ☺️
Not with 31k subscribers pal your talking shite
😂😂😂
Chris the metal wing looks like a simple panel maybe try looking for a coach builder near you and ask them to make it the same as the one you have but in reverse.
Yellow callipers 👌🏼
Yellow callipers ❤
Hi, I would paint those calipers Blue.
Go green on the callipers mimicking the wrx combo
I have a soft spot for the F Type and you’re doing a fantastic job. I think the callipers should be in yellow IMHO it’s a great combination.
Go with the blue or white for the callipers 💯 👌🏻
Blue car with Ferrari yellow callipers 👌🏾
Lime green for the callipers👍
Great build, I would paint the calipers in fluo yellow
A DECENT FABRICATOR CAR BUILSER CAN EASILY MAKE YOU NEW METAL OR ALUMINIUM WING,GOOD PROGRESS
Hey Chris for the metal wing take the good one to metal shop who has CNC machine and make tha same👍
It's coming on nicely mate! For the calipers, I'd go Volvo Saffron Orange, wicked colour for calipers!!!
Great work Chris, really enjoy your narration, can't wait for the next episode🤘💪🤟👍👌😁❤️
Loving this Jaguar build Chris. Really important advice about dealers sometimes actually being able to get you new parts which are cheaper than the wreckers (Australian term for “breakers”). I recently discovered the same thing hunting down some hard to get parts. Also try to build a good relationship with the breakers, as lots of their parts prices are just arbitrarily made up on the spot. So it helps if they already know you.
Great video on a great car. Hope you find all parts soon, look forward to the next one 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. Do yourself a favour,and get yourself an electric lift, one that you can drive over,not sure how much hieght you have,but even 2 or 3 feet will make the job so much easier.Keep up the good work.
Great build Chris parts a very hard got nowadays 🤟
One more quick comment, as an ex vehicle painter myself, just be careful/mindful with neighbours (can see their windows) spraying 2K outside of a booth. It’s nasty stuff with harmful vapours as you know, & the overspray can travel a long way & still settle on cars parked in the street. A tiny component booth with a small 300 mm extraction fan some filters is a one day DIY job to build. Looks like you’ve got a great setup already so it will only enhance what you’ve already got.
Good series mate. Liking it a lot! Followed all your other builds to. Seems like you’re really getting into the swing of this now :)
Great video! I always check the prices at the manufacturer first before breakers. Sometimes I am shocked at how cheap it is to buy depending who from. Chris I loving this F type content. Well done.
Nice progress mate keep up the great work look forward to the next update:) as for the calipers maybe do them orange
Yellow calipers like the carbon option
Great work Chris keep it up.
I'll be entering the competition for this one 😂😂
Callipers are screaming to be a contrasting lime green !
Top job Chris. Love the way you're breaking down 'the problem' into lots of manageable solutions. The car is coming together really well. Keep up the excellent work.
Good work 👏 the painted parts look spectacular 👌
Cracking stuff Chris. I like how you have done your workshop/garage. That lighting is great. A lot of good info. Thanks.
Enjoyed that good information on parts and good presentation Chris cheers
Solid video mate! A lot of progression in the layout/editing of your vids over last few months, keep it up also love the new jag as well
Cheers Chris for another great video, much appreciated
Great work! Very nice car, and nice paint job!
Smashing again pal !!!! Acid green or fluorescent yellow for calipers bud 💥💥💥 make it stand out from the crowd 😎😎
looks good progress on difficult sourcing.well done
Getting there Steve!
I’d go for yellow on the callipers mate. Love your videos! Keep it up bro 💪🏼
Nice one Chris, enjoying it as always. Don’t go with the common calliper combo on the blue car (red, yellow, black), instead I reckon a spring blue or a light blue will look mega and usp!
It’s coming on strong! Love it!
Thank you! 🙏
Might be worth having a metal inner wing fabricated, ask around for coachbuilders.
Chris, if I we're you, id make a template and get a sheet metal company to make it for you.
There’s got to be someone out there that can fabricate you the inner wing?? Go on TH-cam make this happen. Loving the build, get it finished, get it loud….. Most of all enjoy it.
loving this content man keep it up cant wait to see it in the flesh on ur drive gonna look mint when finished mate
Find someone to make a carbon fibre side plate using the other one as a mould and reverse it! Would be a nice contrast to the blue and definitely one of one
Blue calipers ✅
Great work chris
loving the build. 😊😊
Gold calipers if your having black rim's..maybe gloss black if lighter/silver rim's.
Volt green/yellow for the callipers would great with that blue colour 🤩
Getting better each week Chris..just wish the vids were longer 👍🏻
White Callipers would look good with the blue, just a pain to keep clean.
gold, orange or copper for the callipers. look great against the blue.
Look forward to watching how this unfolds
have you thought about taking the Metal side panel of the other side and taking it to a metal/engineering company and getting them to make one from what you have. Might be alot cheaper and quicker
This was my first video of you and it was absolutely amazing video keep up the hard work 💪🏾💪🏾 can’t wait to see the end result #britishpower #jaguar
Welcome to the channel! Thank you
I love these restoring special cars vids xD
Paint the brake calipers black nice work
Chris don't let anyone charge you any import duties for anything from the EU which covers Lithuania. This is a scam as the UK has an FTA with the EU and there are no import tariffs either way.
And on arrival goods below a certain value do not get charged with VAT either.
But you are certainly wise to keep going to the Main Dealer as they do get an unjustified bad rep for prices. Especially for parts on rare cars.
That car is going to look mint when you are done. Quality job!
Yellow callipers on a blue car 👌👌
Chris y not take the triangle metal thing too a good metal shop ? Then spray it job done ! X your welcome x
Orange for the calliper!
Kirsty or Tracey, probably my old dodgy hearing! Great video, a good watch! Cracking progress.
Calipers would looks amazing yellow
keep the calipers red it looks alright Chris
Anthracite grey calipers would looks great against the blue.
black calipers, silver wheels 👍🏾
Love the color and the channel 😊
Get yourself, some little magnets put a rubber glove on and put them in the fingers. That way the nut will stick to the glove.
Great vid Chris, top buying tips again. EBay can be a minefield eh!
Another good video 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
Summer time is nearly here - bet you cant wait to have this finished for then!
Damn right Gaz! I can feel a roadtrip coming 😅
Frigging snowing here this morning, summer feels a LONG way off!
@@GTiR23 🤣
Epic work.
The correct caliper colour would be "yellow" 💛 to offset the blue.
That car is a beautfy!
Chris, while you are in there do yourself a favor and replace the engine mounts. not expensive parts to replace but they are prone to failure from the torque of the V8
Oh really? Is there an uprated version? This one only has 15k miles! Seems very early to be doing that 😅
@@Chris_Slix i couldnt find an uprated version so just replaced with stock. agree that 15k may be a bit early for it but its a lot easier to do when its all apart. the originals especially on the passenger side (under tension when accelerating) rip apart from the 500lbft of torque from that engine. also there is an SVR wing over here in the US (on Ebay) its still not cheap mind you
Brake callipers yellow will really pop with that blue dude!
I did yellow on the aston though! Would it not get repetitive?
I guess it’s subjective, personally wouldn’t care if it has been done before, whatever makes the car look good is all that matters mate! Great content fella, keep up the good work 👍
Could you not get a panel beater to fabricate an inner wing for you? There has to be some old school body shops around that can make the panels!
Re the bumper, open a dispute with eBay and if the seller cant prove through tracking that the item has been delivered they should refund you the cash
Hi m8 love ya vids think ya brake calipers should be brite green 👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Gold calliper
I feel your stress😂, fair play though bud great vid 👌🏻
You see it all over the place with people charging more for secondhand items compared to new. So I always start with how much is it new before I start looking secondhand as I know if it's right or there trying their luck lol great build and hope you get sorted on the wing front. Do you have the old one? If so could you get it panel beated back into shape or maybe get some made in say carbon fibre if you have a template to copy off.
Yes 👍 bro 😎 Iv been waiting for an upload 🎉🎉
Thanks for your patience! 😅
for sure them calibers need to be in yellow
Calipers did them the 3 band colour red, green, silver it's an official colour
Keep the red callipers mate 👍🏻
I like the red calipers look nice with the blue, if not colour code em.
See retro power in hinckley bet they could make you a wing
Looking pretty good! Those calipers aren't very attractive. Shape not the color. They look like giant single piston caliper. Wonder if you could upgrade to a Brembo or something nicer. Otherwise I would go with a muted color like black or grey.
If you refuse the delivery of the bumper it’ll go straight back without having to go through the hassle of getting it picked up etc
Yeah thats what they have told me to do, but 12 days and its still not showed up 🤣
Calipers might been nice Chrome black or bronze m8
Definitely go yellow callipers on blue car.
Porsche acid green calipers for contrast
Surely you'll get the wing part from usa. Or find a company that makes carbon parts you may get a carbon version
Orange calipers would be nice
Loving the jag content 👌🏻what’s happening with the 135i.?
Hey mate where have you bought the complete suspension from? In the same process and can't seem to find any second hand. Cheers
Just ebay man, they have both rears and the other corner left
@@Chris_Slix thanks for the reply. Did you buy it complete or did you buy bit by bit? I’m rebuilding a f-type r awd n can’t seem to find any complete suspension for awd f-types.
Calipers HAVE to be same colour as car ?
I think you need to check the price on your OEM Jaguar parts with other dealers I have a feeling the guy that contacted you on Instagram cut you a really good deal that most people can't get and that's part of the reason the second hand parts are more expensive
Lovely video and i like to see progress on the jag!
But i have one concern about it..
Why are you going for one second hand shock and leaving it on the other side, shouldn‘t you change dampers and springs on both sides? (Per axle)
MATT should be in Orlando FL maybe Jaguar USA has the parts
