takin' the long way 'round
[IMG] We made it, guys and gals! We are on the road after 3 years work!
Thanks guys. Yes, she looks great. Actually the further away the better it looks :) Needs paint etc. Yeah, the scooped things on the hood were...
Hey guys, three years, one rhd jag front conversion later, (with various other things) and I can tell you we finally made the big time. Put the...
[IMG] The old tart is STILL not on the road after nearly 3 years, but, as you can see, we are sort of on the road. This was taken outside the...
I was scratching my head over this one for ages. I replaced the pan with a new aluminium pan and new gasket and still it leaked. But only from the...
Thanks for the photos. So many beautiful vehicles on display! I really like how you grabbed the whole atmosphere thing. Food looked caloriffic!
heheh. thanks guys. I get it :) I really do....It's just that....oh, ok... I'll just shut up
Yeah, it hasn't been on the road for two years, and is still not quite there, so it had been just sitting on the manifold, but that hose I now...
And I kept the old school handbrake as well :)
Okay, thanks mate. I think I'm on the right track. I was getting some mild backfiring thru the carb and thought I'd at least eliminate this...
Hey guys. Hope someone can put me on the straight and narrow path to enlightenment. I have replaced the old 600 holley on the 327 with a new one...
[IMG] Dorothy back on 4 wheels. Now has xj6 Jag front. Standard spring height. GM 10 bolt rear end. 15" Wheels. Coopers all round. Air...
Same problem here. Is it the deeper dish pan and matching gasket? Fel Pro from memory like a deeper dish pan. I could be wrong?
A magnificent collection of photo's fellas. There's only one thing that would top a thread like this...Babes and Buicks, heheh.
For all money, upon looking at your first photos I thought this one was too full of tin worm to save, but talent and perseverance pays. My hat is...
Thanks guys. Just what I wanted to hear. Made my day. In fact, the HAMB always makes my day. Cheers!
Mine is a '67. should mention that.
Hi guys. Does anyone know whether the exhaust pattern changed in the 327 over the years? Thing is, I want to get rid of my old cast iron headers...
In total awe of your work, Cody. Masterpieces in metal.
I've got an old fuel gauge sender, but shipping the thing to USA would probably cost a fair whack of dollars.
Thanks, mate. Another guy from a different forum confirmed same thing. We can't all be going mad. Heheh. Much obliged to everyone. Thanks once more.
I agree. That was what I thought it was. I rang Rocket Industries and they said just bring the thing down and they will match the thread up with...
Slipped a caliper across it and I reckon it is definitely not 5/8. If anything could be 17mm, but not even sure of that. If anything I would say...
You know, it COULD be. The more I think about how close it fits to a 5/8, I am thinking it must be a 17mm fitting. Also, I have substituted the...
Yes, I was going to do much the same with piece of 3/4 DD bar and have two unis either end, but I have soft mounted the jag front to my truck and...
It is possible, but the lower shaft slots into my 48 spline 3/4 uni like a knife through butter. But, you know, these British guys do funny things...
Folks, I am having a bit of strife trying to work out the spline size of the original jag intermediate shaft. I have the bottom one worked out. it...
this is what I love about this place: great cars and interesting people with great attitudes.
[IMG] Dorothy getting a facial. Yep, that's a jag front end waiting in the wings
