Jaguar 420 Restoration Progress

[@UberLummox]

Hi, why are/were the rear wheel openings shaped different than other 420s? Very interesting. Maybe an early iteration of the 420 model?

That was a good weld, the new metal fits in seamlessly. If you plan on rebuilding the engine, that would be cool to do a time lapse of your progress.

Keep up the good work... Nice cars the 420 and better drivers than the mk2... I had one... Triple carbs will definately enhance the performance further

Hi How do you remove the tanks was it complicated ? Great work done on the car nice !!

[@simplecraft7960]

Thanks! There are two clamps on each side, after removing those and all the hoses the tanks came right out if i remember correctly.

Nice progress. What thickness metal sheet are you using? (I have a similar car that is in need of the same attention)

[@simplecraft7960]

Thanks! I started off with 1mm but switched to 0.8mm as it is easier to bend.

Nice work. If you're not familiar with Soup Classic Motoring, check him out. He has a very similar approach to yours.
