some more thinking has been going on the head of me....


Save myself a LOAD of hassle - and just use the jag rear setup, and the jag's front subframe! Sure, I'll still modify the hell out of them, but at least 95% of the suspension, steering and braking system will be complete!

And at the minute, it's looking like I'm gonna get £190+/Ton when I weigh the Jag in, so it's pretty much gonna pay for itself once I've stripped it of the bits I want!

Hehe, and you all seem to have a VERY good idea of the final look I'm going for!

And Nikki, should hopefully be able to collect it either this month, but most possibly will be July, as I've got to pay the damned car-tax this month (The joys of a non-sponging gf, she's offered to help pay to get it shifted for me!)


Lol, just dont let him sell it to someone else, as I REALLY want it!!

[666junky]

Okie pokie, i shall make sure the parts are stripped off it Anything you specially want to keep on it?

Uhhhmmmmm and i dont think anyone else wants it lol, il just protect it from more vandalism

[chairchild]

What do I want?

Well, the engine, gearbox, and subframes really! lol



Might pinch things like the brake and clutch master cylinders, etc, but if they're knackered, then no worries

[octagonalpaul]

insane project! I'm sure it'll be well worth the effort when its finished

[chairchild]

Erm...


is it wrong, that I'm putting genuine thoughts into adding a SECOND engine? Just something that'll return more than 5mpg Something inbetween the gearbox and the V12, so I could maybe disconnect the V12 when cruising along, and have something small to just pootle me along (400cc motorbike engine maybe?)

[octagonalpaul]

sounds so wrong it might be right
do it!

[chairchild]

Not much to update, other than I've found it near impossible to find ANYONE to move the jag, without paying £200+!!

so the latest idea - Drive down to Essex with a toolbox, and strip the running gear from the car, and leave the shell there!

That way, I can at least use a normal sized trailer, on my pug!

[sweetser]

any updates on this??

[chairchild]

still possibly getting the jag this month, but I now have to take the whole jag - still trying to get responses from companies to move it - but no-one's bloody interested!
