Lars If you are up for a challenge: http://tinyurl.com/cjs5uze or http://tinyurl.com/cwgxk59 Thanks for the links. Well they are a bit too much for me at the moment. I'm looking for something that's a tiny more clean. Specifically I'm in for a more or less complete and running Series 1 FHC, not a 2...

Thanks Mark,

Very wise words witten. I will try to find a decent Series 1 OTS or FHC to restore.

I will now sell this car as a parts car. Many parts are OK so it would be a shame to just sent it to the junkyard for demolition.

Oh well I guess I'm not the craziest Swede here anymore then :) lycka till (good luck) Haha, maybe you still are. :lol: Tonight I stripped the interior. The car has a Webasto roofmounted and I found severe rust everywhere under the headliner. This made me think it over once again (for the 112th tim...

Welcome Lars! That is one hell of a project you have there but you need to carefully consider whether restoration is financially worthwhile given it is a S2 2+2 Auto and a rust free (manual) one is only bidding to $7,000 on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/bqjuazc Thank you Heurer! On top on the sale price...

Re: Another Swede is signing in - wish me good luck!

Hej Lars, Ja du ar galen. Yes, you are crazy. But, everything is possible. It will be like building a car from scratch. I think you will need to hook up a big trailer and go across to England for a few spares. My E just arrived from the 'south of Sweden' (of all places) to Sydney. You may have seen...

Looks like most of that will polish out... Seriously, I hope you have no idea of what you've undertaken. If I were you I'd run away now. I know. I've been re-thinking a hundred times already but I am so attempted to continue and will give it a go. I've started the strip off and will consider when I...

Another Swede is signing in - wish me good luck!

Hello everbody. Let me introduce myself as the craziest man on the globe or at least on this forum. I just bought something that 99 out of 100 would never touch. A totally messed up rusty 1967 Jaguar E-type series 1.5 2+2. I got it almost for free so I thought I should give it a try and give the "ca...
