Christmas came early this year



5 minutes later...


Hmmm something's not quite right here. More quite 'left'


Stupid Chinese made things... Ah never mind. I'll just weld that thing up by myself.
I'm not a fan of bolted constructions anyway



End result:

When the Benz is ready, I'm willing to drive to Scandinavia for a holiday roadtrip or some sorts...
The Carlssons are my favorites, but first I would like to see how the RW's will pull off

[projecthoarder]

How could you be the unlucky 13th owner? Your putting it out of its miserable existence, lol. Good luck with the swap!

[MBBelgium]

I see you got time to play with the merc's! I like what you are doing! I hope you will get that 3l in there soon!

Ordered a new upgrade-spec DBilas camshaft, because two inlet lobes on cyl.1 and 3 appeared to be worn
Plus side is: more lift, and a bit longer duration should give me some extra HP. Fingers crossed on that one!

Day before DMPD '13.
But not much has been changed since then, apart from the fact that i took out the drive train for an overhaul, and took off the wheels to refurbish them (needs to be done still )
I have the centercaps, but need to come up with a nice solution for the logo's on them

[P78]

ur an engineer, you will figure something out haha

My brother in law and I have been asked to help out my uncle with this never-finished-project: A '67 Jaguar MK2 with complete AJ6 XJ drivetrain and chassis. It has been built by some special Dutch company back in the days called "ROADSTERgroup BV. and they were specialised in converting these things into resto-mods.
They made a handfull of these and were specially built for rich-as-fuck Oil Sheiks and sorts, as prices started around 260.000 Gulden/Guilders at the time (around €120.000).
The chassis and body are mint because it has never been driven in all those years since it was built...

It belonged to my uncles brother, who recently passed away sadly. This thing was collecting dust for over eight or ten years in his shed, and now the family wants to sell it in running and rolling condition

The engine cranks over, it sparks but is doesn't get any fuel. We found out the fuel pump is stuck and therefore cooked the fuse and relay. So we need to tackle that job first to see if we get it running.




Where's the original steering wheel??






LOL, double full adjustable coilovers in the rear




The power plant


Apparently I don't like cars that run....

[MBBelgium]

That jag is beautifull! Good luck with getting it to run!


Jag's have somthing to do with daimler no? and merc's to? So it's still familly? :-p
