Jaguar Project - Steering wheel

The flames are out, finished sewing up the new leather steering wheel cover.
Now, when it cools down a bit, I will start on scraping and painting some of the other miscellaneous parts.

Jaguar Project - Bodywork

Little bit of progress on the paint and bodywork. Project bumped by a couple of higher priority paint jobs. The bad news is that the body/paint guy left the country this morning with no known return date. The weather is too hot to be working anyhow.

Burning off the old plastic on the steering wheel. Now a bunch of scraping and painting. I ordered a tan leather steering wheel cover from http://wheelskins.com

Jaguar Project - Cockpit

Finished the seats. Ready to be installed once the Jaguar is painted and upholstered. Need a new tonneau cover with pockets for the headrests.

Jaguar Project - Cockpit

Finished drivers side seat and bottom of passenger side. The hardest part was getting the shoulder harness through the back of the seat.

Jaguar Project - Bodywork

Visited today to drop off some money.
Quite a bit more done, but a lot left to do.


Coat of protective primer to keep from rusting while the rest of the body work is being done.


Front view.


Took a picture of the upholstery. This is the seat, inside out, but opened up.


I took Gizmo along, and got him a new toy, which he destroyed in no time at all. Does he look guilty?

Stripping of old paint down to bare metal has been started.



Hood stripped and primed.

Today I received the seat cover kit. Now all I have to do put them on the seats. I'll take my time, and do the best job possible. They look great, but they are inside out, so I did not take any pictures yet.
