Jaguar E-Type Bonnet Preparation

Tommy has been assigned the task of working on our 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster.

We are working alongside her new owner Steve to bring this beautiful creation back to life.

Having recently restored a stunning Austin Healey (I’ll try and get some photos!), Steve will be carrying out the majority of the work himself but we will be completing the bodywork preparation and carrying out the full respray in Black before handing her back to Steve to complete the restoration.

Here’s some of the work that Tommy has already carried out on the bonnet area:

Fuel Tank, Discs and Pedal Box are now fitted

After a little TLC the fuel tank has now been refurbished and refitted to our 1968 MGBGT, along with the front brake discs, pads and pedal box.

We are just waiting on a couple more components to arrive for the pedal box mechanism and then this can be properly installed and fitted perfectly.

Jensen 541S bodywork preparation is well underway

Now that the shell has been completely removed from the chassis and it is now away being prepared, this gives Asa the opportunity to investigate and come up with a plan to resolve the issues with the body.

The A-Post and surrounding area was where the majority of the work was needing to be carried out. The panels have now been ground done to reveal all of the rot. We have then removed the rot by cutting the areas away completely before applying brand new steel.
