I want to say that looks great, but I think I might incriminate myself!

The colour is fantastic

Jag also made quad cam heads earlier on. They are the ones I was thinking of

Totally different engine to the production V12, even the bore spacing is different (smaller).

Craig X308 Daimler super v8 seats. Heater and electric. Rear seats are also a very close fit. Would look nice.

I ll second that.

Fantastic looking beast, done in the right way too.

Think I may have to paint the engine fan as the yellow is a bit too obvious through the grille

Were they yellow as standard or is that some kind of aftermarket option?

[CharlesdeGaulle]

A black fan is the obvious choice, but I reckon a red one would look pretty good and set off the badge nicely.

Yeah hopefully when the Xenons are in and the lower mesh grille in place with rechromed bumper without the over riders it should look quite good. Always a bit nerve wracking trying to visualise the changes in your head

Well, if it doesn't work out, I can make space here for it so you don't have to look at it.

I won't even charge you to take it off your hands.

Can't say fairer than that.

Came here to see what I had missed over the last couple of weeks.

Was not disappointed!

[craigjm]

Hopefully this week we will have the headlights in and the lower grille sorted so the front will be finished bar waiting for the bumper to come back from the chromer. Will also be doing the rear lights red and refitting all the chrome bar the bumpers.

Steps forward from here will be fitting lots of the interior kit and waiting for the wheels which are on a 14 week wait

Old Jag used as drift car. Nice idea of retaining the old engine in stead of going for a LS swap.
