Good luck on your rebuild. Over the years I have rebuilt to many vehicles to count including multiple Jaguars, but not an F-Type. However, that will change soon. Yesterday I bought a low mileage wrecked 2014 V8 S and am eagerly awaiting delivery from TX.

I have a few parts left over from my rebuild. Most valuable is the entire right panel stamp.

Yup...it's coming along slowly. Was supposed to be a "Run and Drive" and it was neither. Oh well. How is your build coming?

well as luck would have it my mothers car is a 2005 xjr and it has a coolant leak (thought it was and may still be the hose under the supercharger).the tee fitting for the rear climate control .so almost have it disassembled then need to get parts(I know I need the rubber 3 way joint but jag only sells the complete line set) might have to fabricate it -------so will tear apart the f-type soon after (I do have all the major body/frame parts)
