Default Jaguar XJC project

Another one we are working on at the moment, which has involved quite a lot of metal shaping along the way.

It is a series 3 jaguar xjc which we are rebuilding as a new car, with various custom touches such as the raised rear wheel arches, custom made rear valance and 1/4 bumpers, plus of course the rot repair.

It hs been dummy built long the way, as it is being fitted with a Chevrolet ls3 crate engine.

The the full album is here on Facebook: ( there are too many photos to upload and they are freely accessible on Facebook anyway) if you go to the metalwork section you will be able to view the relevant parts

Nat, you'd be amazed at how many people do NOT do facebook and can't view your photos.

I think they should be visible to anybody whether they use Facebook or not........at least I hope so as our website uses the same system!!

We basically use Facebook as an enormous photo host!!

will revisit this later and change things. Limited on what I can do on Ipad so will fire up laptop. I think I have sorted a simpler way to post the actual pictures on here so will give it a go this evening.


Hasten to add I'm no big facebook fan but its an incredibly useful tool for a business to be able to update customers easily with photographs of their work as it is being done. Most of our customers have smartphones etc and they get a ping when "their" car album has been updated, so they see the work almost as it is done, and certainly before they get the invoice!
