Default Pit stop for old goat

recommissioning our old 72 2+2. Has not run in 20 or more years but did serve as a great shelf during her stay in the garage. we have a need to get her running and also purchase a new model to keep her company. something like a 92 XJS. The she can be like a big sister to a younger ride.

Currently in New Jersey but pull our car hauler behind the motor-home for trips to FLorida and elsewhere. MY hobbies include music (keyboard), old motorcycles, new motorcycles, any motorcycle and of course Jaguar.

as I get into the E a little more I will post progress. previously I completely rip apart the bonnet which had a poor plastic repair. Heat to shrink metal and reform to factory plus 4 coat lacquer and 4 clear brought her up to a second place and a third place at eastern US shows back 20 yrs.

There's just no paint like a good, old fashioned, solvent based lacquer. You don't see any of this water based clear coat lasting 20 years! Some of is doing well to last as long as the factory warranty!
