contact David at Everyday XJ and ask him it he can ship it to Africa. David has all the parts you need.

 

David is not shipping out of States for now due to lost of parcels/packages during this COVID-19 era.
So i don't know the next plan "B" to get the items

 

strange. I have shipped parts to UK, Belgium, and Australia and I have not lost one package. I always ship through the US Post Office. I never ship though Fedex, they are irresponsible, arrogant, and they think they are the last Coca Cola in the desert. UPS is good and DHL is good too.

 

I even asked David, what if i arrange UPS to pick up the package but he has not responded to my email on that.

Does David reads from this forum?

 

as far as I know, yes he comes around this forum. But I have not heard from him recently.

How about salvage yards in South Africa? Lots of Jaguars there. I know a fellow in SA with a '65 Jaguar S type who posts all the time in the MK-1, MK-2, S type forum here. He's a meticulous purist with obsessive compulsive disease when it comes to original Jaguar parts. I don't know if he will want to help but you might try asking him. Worst he can say is no. Tell him his arch enemy Jose sent you. I will send you his name by private message to protect his privacy. .

 

So far, update from the Bodyshop as of today 11-May-2020

A lot of rust from the lower and upper area of the windscreen.

​​​​​The project is meant to be done, so it will be done.

 

You are a very brave man.

 

Wow.

The two front tires look OK.

Dave

 

hmmm, they look so but they are very old installed tires since somewhere in early year 2000s and now with crack marks in them, all the tires need replacement after the project is done.

 

I was trying to be light-hearted mikaga, comparing the tires (which look ok to me, but I'll admit I may not be able to see their total condition) to the rust condition (which looks like you might be better off cutting the top off and making a convertible).

If you are happy when everything is done, that's all that matters.

Dave

 

Convertible?, well said, but let's see the end then

 

OMG!

Do yourself a favour and go for the real deal: NEW metal, no plaster!

 

State of my S3 fuel tank sender units.
i just received replacement from SNG to replace them though.

Rust and seized

We are done with the bodyworks, car ready to head towards painting shop today.

Here are some update photo from the Bodyshop.

 

Just shows where there's a will there's a way.
Wow!

Good on ya, Mike. She'll be solid when you're finished. I like (and pursue) bring-back-from-the-dead projects like this. Looks like you hand-fabricated some of those repair pieces - looks good.

 

yes, all the welded plates fixed on the body are hand fabricated as you have said.

 

I thought so - and I have to add it looks like you did a pretty good job of it. A little bit of filler and paint and no one will be the wiser.
