Hello from Norway! I'm relatively new here and want to introduce myself and get to know the community. I got my Jaguar Etype s1 2+2 when I was 15 and it needed full restoration. (see pictures)
now I'm 22, finished school and have become a mechanic (naturly...) and are now studying on to become a sivil marine-ingeneer. I'm interested in how things work, and much of the E-Type ingeneering fascinates me. I'm nearly done with the car but only have about 9 weeks a year beacuse of school far away from the car when I can actually work on it, so it might take some more years. Every nut and bolt, washer you name it have been sandblasted, elektro plated, primed painted and clearcoated! Many of the bolts have been changed to stainless steel so I expect no rust marks for many, many years of use. Anyway, the car will always stay in my possession, I'm never ever selling it. Therfore it have been built for my liking. The colour imitates a blood candy paint, but it's just a two stage paintjob- so easier to fix if I get a damage It really shows the beautiful curves of the car. Just yesterday I ordered alot of leather which I haved reaserched alot for a nice match with the red colour of the car. It's semi-anilin of very high quality, and I look forward to work on the interior this summer :) Probably will give out some updates if people are interested
