All the very best with the restoration, will be following you all the way.
If you do get stuck for some bits, sing out and I'll dig through my UK classic car mags for some contact details.

ok so today i did not get as much done as i wanted to but here's what did get done
http://api.ning.com/files/MjKXQtMWGD...737&height=552
so first things to do was remove the bumper by cutting off the mounting bolts and removing the headlights
http://api.ning.com/files/*7G1hLPRlL...737&height=552
http://api.ning.com/files/bWHzqflReD...737&height=552
then break off the bondo
http://api.ning.com/files/exeWd9XH7e...737&height=552
http://api.ning.com/files/HfJjNXV1pu...737&height=552
so i found that there was a patch put in here, terrible patch job but at least it was welded and not riveted so i will at least give that much to the guy who did it
unfortunately this is where i was forced to end today
due to my grinder trying to remove my knuckle
that coulda hurt
oh well will pick up a new one tomorrow and will finish that quarter panel if the clouds clear

hey all i apologize for disappearing for a year, i am not dead and that jag is not forgotten. i was involved in a motorcycle accident last year and my wrist got mangled up pretty decent. i have recovered and will be returning to working on the jag and posting pictures within a week or two.
Ps does anyone know of good restoration books or old owners manuals?

Oh yah, I remember this thread...and subsequent 'classic' jaguar project car. We're all glad you weren't hurt badly in that accident. Since I'm subscribed to your thread, I'll be getting updates when you post some progress entries in the future. Good luck, can't wait to see it return to all its glory.
Sorry can't help you with the manual question, I'm just a gawker and admirer of the saloon.
