Ed's Jaguar

Post by edsreef@gmail.com »

Greetings, Just thought I would post a couple of various pictures of some of the Jag parts I Have been working on. There are a couple of Colin's Coil. Very nice wiring attachment point on the coli. As usual, quite small, tweezer time!

Hello Ed,
Your engine is very successful, I can’t wait to see it in the car.
For the seats, did you take as a base those from the kit before covering them with leather? It’s very realistic.

Yes I used the seats from the kit and covered with the leather.

Just thought thought, I posted the rear door with the leather applied, should have posted these first. Rear hatch opening outer and inner and rear door before leather.

Hi Everyone. I found a different picture of the rear hatch hinges. Please note in the picture. at the bottom of the hinge at the mounting bracket - notice how there is a bit of an offset - in my original picture I posted - I did not see this. I think this little offset will make a bit of difference on how the hinge "swings" open. Might assist to give a bit more clearance.

Greetings. Just a couple of update pictures - engine bay and a picture of Colin's Radiator fan. Would have been hard to get a shot of once the top tanks was added. Excuse the bubble wrap - protecting the paint on the floor pan.
