Sealing under the arches

With the underside almost complete Pete has sealed up the arches before building back up the suspension components.

 

 

Cleaning and repainting the Amphicar engine

With only the rocker box cover a different colour, the Amphicar engine is actually one of the simplest engines to paint as it is all black.

Before removing the engine from the car we had it all up and running as it should.

Pete has since been busy stripping it off it’s loose components before cleaning and painting the bulk of the engine ready to be built back up again.

Jaguar E-Type V12 Engine Re-fitted

The day has come where I will no longer be seeing this beautiful piece of V12 engineering out side my office window but will soon have to view her further down our workshops sitting proudly inside the car.

Today’s the day we re-fit the newly rebuilt V12 engine back where she belongs, sitting within our Jaguar E-Type roadster shell.

…and the operation was a huge success with the engine now safely inside the car ready to be built back up.
