Default Mark IX Jag project! New member!

Well. I did it. As Jeremy Clarkson would say, "I've got a Jaaaaaag."

I just purchased a 1960 Mark IX, in.. less than great shape. All the bits were there, I can work the body out in due time. Should be fun. I don't have the money for a 'proper restore' so this might go a little more hot roddy?

Anyway, I'm 37, live just south of DC in Maryland, and this car just spoke to me. Hope to get through this build with a little help from new friends along the way!



Thanks all, great to be here!

Welcome to the forums Goonygoon84,

I've seen several looking considerably worse subsequently emerge as great restorations.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mark-v-x-420g-58/ to the Mark V - X & 420G forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Good luck with your project and enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to the Forums.

AWESOME start to the real world of motoring. A MKVII was my first ever car.

At 37, yoiu have 40 odd years to sort it.

Good luck.
