Coolest Jag ever of ever.

[CabriosAndroidicus]

Personally, I've always wanted a 40's/50's cruiser, and that is pretty cool. It's a different mindset though, because an $800 Jag is a blank canvas that no purist really cares about and has never really been defined in a typical modification sense. A hot/rat/lead-sled rod though, that has been done a million times and there are definitely many more ways to 'screw' it up.

However, that 40's cruiser is more of a lead-sled than a real rat rod. And it's nice you can do a lot of bolt-on 350 mods to start with.

Think about the car's image: do you want to blast-from-the-past cruiser or no-crap-given Jag?

The owner of the wayfarer texted me this morning, saying he decided to hold on to the car due to sentimental reasons.

Guess it takes more than that to get rid of the Swaguar

Also, xj40 purists **** me, genuinely. Old guys who own these cars think they're the best car to ever hit the road, so they **** everything about this one.

Good. I think it'd be a ton of work. Looks like it anyways.

I like when people **** things because they're not exactly like the rest. Haha.

So the Swaguar lives on... it's for the best I am sure. That Wayfarer might actually require a monetary investment, haha.

Obviously those Jag purists are bitter old white guys, so I'm positive they have the funds to buy up all the XJ40s not owned by their elite ranks for $800 each (what a price for such a collectible car), buy an island, call it New Great Britain, and spend their remaining days Jaggin' each other off in the backseats of the greatest car ever made.

Hahahaha it was definitely a good buy for the money, even with its shortcomings.

I would love to put an xj40 on air, just not this one.



Got her in to my shop today. Getting the tires mounted, rear brakes done, and seeing what we can do with this radiator. C&M (my local parts supplier) quoted me $950 for the radiator, my cost!

[TheArkitekt]

should be able to find one in a junkyard?

This guy gets it ^^^ that's my plan. The local u-pull-it yard has like 7 xj40's, just gotta make sure that they're interchangeable between years.

[floatingdino]

Make it interchangeable

[bennkishh]

You take a radiator, and you make it fit in your car. Simple.
