Daimler/mk2 Restoration
finally got off my *** with this restoration
I have a Daimler 250 and 2 Jag Mk2's in various stages of decomposition, the Daimler body is the most solid of the 3, but stripped of everything.
so I had a friend who has gone semi retired, and does body work in his shop part time, and charges much less than his skills are worth.
front right fender had been cut off, now replaced, a few small patches and a couple large patches and she is solid and rust free (other than surface rust)
now at the dustless blasters, will update pictures once that is done and ready for sealing primer

a little swiss cheese in the spare tire well, and thats about it, a couple cracks to welld and a couple pin holes, but she is solid.
it was suggested to cut out the spare wheel well in favor of a larger fuel tank. I'm considering it but would rather not. would love to know your thoughts.
next pics after sealing primer.

VB don' do it. How much fuel do you need? The range is most likely further than your bladder. Jaguar did increase the fuel for rally cars by mounting a second tank in the spare tire well but that did, and will require adjustment to the rear springs and perhaps more. Take a look at the second tank arrangement if you do need more capacity--it is period correct and accomplishes what you want.
