MK II


After a decade and a half in storage, a 1963 MK II Jaguar gives up some secrets - an E Type tricarb head with very poor air filters made from snuff cans.



All the rubber mountings and all the hydraulic systems had to be replaced.





The front cross member was removed and the front suspension rebuilt. The entire brake system was changed to stainless components.



The broken rear leaf spring



was addressed along with the rest of the rear suspension.
Then the choice was made to convert to power rack and pinion steering with a clever electro-hydraulic kit from England.


Now that the car is safely back on the road, the cosmetics can be addressed. Check back to see the completed project.
