Restoring my dad's 1970 Jaguar E-Type
1970 Jaguar E-Type, Dad bought it in 71. Got married to my mom in it and i believe drove me home from the hospital in it. Parked it sometime in the 80s and then we moved to the Bay Area and it sat in our garage for 15 years before we rebuilt the carbs and did the brakes and got it running and driving again and then we moved near Lake Tahoe and its sat in this garage for 13 years now. We're gonna repaint it (same color) and redo all the chrome and go through the motor

Well we weren't planning on it but looks like we'll be tearing the motor pretty far down, taking the intake/coolant thing off and the exhuast manifolds. Was thinking of putting headers on it but i think we're just going to have the manifolds ceramic coated. Here's some pics...
This coolant pipe that goes under the intake is pretty bad, we'll have to make our own cause they don't make replacements
Can't even see thru the coolant pipe
This is why we're pulling the intake, we broke the coolant nipple off trying to replace it, they are so rusted and clogged.
