Excellent choice, it continues the roof line very well.
I assume you're just going to have to make your own rear 1/4 window to suit? Or are we due for the worlds coolest panel van?
Thanks, no room for rear windows that were the air inlets will be to cool the rear brakes (bit of a problem with the jag setup)Andy I assume you're just going to have to make your own rear 1/4 window to suit? Or are we due for the worlds coolest panel van?

I am enjoying this build and the OP is very talented in what he is doing. Well done and hats of to you OP. As for the rear brakes, the jags had cooling issues, being the discs were by the diff housing, which would cause the diff seals to melt, oil to leak out and onto the brakes, which is never a good thing.Iam sure that a friend with a jag based kit car, which he raced , used a conversion to put the discs out by the wheels, so as to cure the problem and make like easier to service and bleed. Not sure if this is still available? His car was a Cougar or Kougar car from the 90's.

Just enjoyed reading up on this amazing project.
How's progress?
Cheers, work always slows down over the summers. I will be up dating soon now that I have machined the locating lugs for the rear hatch (was going to be welded in but now will be removable for access) AndyHow's progress?
