A channel for enthusiasts by an enthusiast, based in the UK aimed at those with more passion for classic cars than money.
All my cars and vans are run on a shoe string budget so follow along as put cars back together and keep them on the road where they belong. There’s no marque snobbery here or putting cars on pedestals I love all old cars and I aim to show you it’s not money you need just time and determination.

Jaguar MK2 Wood prep begins and headlining update
nice work! what gauge steel did you use? would it be the same for a x308? also what kind of welder are you using?
The one thing that we really need to know about any restoration and preservation of early historical motor vehicles is that you have to get the use of the day involved with them and it seems that they really really don’t want to. That is a great worry to us here we are is what we leave behind and how we care for it in all shapes and each way you can think about it, less we forget regards Alan from down under where this island is not what you think it is at all
great vid, well described all the way, covered all the pitfalls of doing that repair
Very useful information especially the earths will give those a check on my 96 4.0.
Great video very informative. I’ve just bought a Katsu 3” Angel Grinder, a nice little tool. I’m just getting back into DYI and a small project I’ve in mind. I’ve bought the Roloc Adapter as recommended in your video. However, I need some advice further please on the various accessories & attachments I can buy & use with the Katsu… Arbours, size, sanding disc’s, etc etc etc… Any advice would be helpful and invaluable… Thanks
Fantastic! Thanks! 🎸🎶😀

👍👍🇬🇧
👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks my guy! Had a job today like that today. Didnt have thin string but my picktool worked just fine (took longer obviously)
Beautiful car
I'm liking that spot welder
I thought it is made of aluminium. ?
Are you using a mig or tig
Hi, Can you tell me where you got the mini grinder. I cant seem to find your review channel. Thanks Neil.
Got a Jag to do Steve 1995 X300 In NZ, Light on dash will try this on your video, before anything else Thanks ! Is that a good Bristol Accent? I was from the Midlands now in NZ
Hopefully you got your problem sorted out without to much trouble, it’s never so bad if the problem is there all the time. Intermittent electrical faults can be a real pain! I am around thirty miles from Bristol deep in the Wiltshire countryside hence the carrot 🥕 crunching accent 😀🔧🔧👍👍
Another informative video thats twisting my arm further to pull the trigger on the one i have found here in France.
Thanks again, you didn’t say whether the one your considering was auto or manual but either way they really are lovely cars to own and drive 🔧🔧👍👍
@@stevesclassicgarage9464 I'm getting a 96 Sovereign 4.0 Auto old school with nice wood etc as my last was a Daimler XJC 4.2.
A very good video ive just found here in France where im considering buying a 96 ex UK 4.0 Sport and was Google searching for repair panels and it was nice to see your skills in action. Cheers, Phil.
Hello Steve, just wondering if you made any further progress on the mini. I only ask because I recently re-watched your video regarding guide coats and sanding and I wondered if you have further tricks tricks to offer. Best regards, David.
Hi Dave no further progress although it did get moved just this weekend to make some lighting improvements and to insulate the roof above it as I had a big condensation problem. Not sure exactly when work will restart but at least the other side is not half as bad as the side I showed in the videos! Best regards Steve 👍👍🔧🔧
Those brackets your Mk 2 had are not original, unless Jaguar altered them after mine was made in 1960. The front bracket should be in front of the cross member and flush with the top. The rear screws to the floor and straddles the handbrake cross shaft. I have fitted full electric XJ8 seats to my Mk 2. They went straight in after removing the riveted on brackets from the runners. I think your idea is much stronger than mine though. Mind you, I’ve only just fitted seat belts, personal safety not being my priority, although the new seats did stop me sliding across the car when cornering! The seats I got have all the switching and electronics built in. All I had to do was find where pos and neg connected, and my car is positive earth, but no problem as everything is insulated.
The worst MK2 Jag you can buy is one partially in bits! Good luck sorting that mess out mate! 😂 👍
Your not wrong Scotty I’ve been picking at this for years and it never seems to be any nearer finished 😕 👍🔧🔧🔧
Looking forward to your next videos.....
Keep up the good work!
Great video Steve!!!! Great to see you keeping this old girl in the road!!!!!!
I remember the days when a white Astra van was the fastest vehicle in the M4 motorway!!!! I reckon one went past me doing 110mph+ one day in the 80s......
In 1984 my first job was a trainee service engineer, the company had a brand new MK1 Astra van, it felt like a space ship compared to the rest of the Morris Marina fleet they ran ! In the 90’s I had a 1.4 petrol estate and 1.7 diesel van service vehicles, as now the 1.4 petrol was great fun to bomb around in 🔧🔧👍👍.
A master class on how to weld up a rusty Jag! A 'Jag' specialist would have pulled your pants down for this sort of repair!
Your right Scotty there’s receipts for £750 in the history for welding that as you saw was poor quality work that didn’t last. I had to redo the other side as well and that was years ago so god knows how much it would cost now! It’s no wonder the few that are left end there days on the banger track 😕🔧👍👍
We were sat in the grandstand next to where you were. Are you going this year?
Brilliant job there Steve. Gripfill and the felt paint was an interesting tip. Got a front wing/sill to do once the weather cheers up.
Give the Gripfill a go for the price it sticks to the metal really well and moulds into the edges of your repair, the felt adhesive was an experiment because I already had it but again it’s designed to stick so should be at least as good as paint!! 👍🔧🔧
Great video verry informative, excellent drawing aswell. Mine is stuck closed, so I've separated it from the outer vent which works okay. The only thing that's missing is the control linkage, any ideas where to get one from ??
Hi Jeremy my go to for obsolete car parts is eBay , you need to keep checking in though every few days, this approach may take weeks or even months if the part is rare, everything now is getting hard to find. Beuliea auto jumble twice a year also usually throws up some gems. 👍👍🔧🔧
Great video Steve! Keep up the good work!!!!
Did you buy this in Northern Ireland Steve?
Super helpful as I try to adapt a 3.8L XK motor with SU carbs into my LHD 1937 Packard. Thanks!
I’m pleased you got some ideas for your project from my video. These are the modifications that take up a lot of the time when your engine swapping. I have checked out your channel and it looks like a really interesting project. Keep up the good work all the best Steve 👍🔧
Hi Steve, am trying to do exactly the same, but no luck in finding the adaptor on Ebay and Avon Engineering not responding. Hoping you might know an alternative source? Have tried to sort with a Female M10 to Male M6 adaptor. The M6 fits the roloc plate, but the M10 female thread won't screw down on the Katsu male. Currently at a dead end :) Was amazed to find your video - thanks Paul
Hi Paul I don’t know of an alternative source but please read the comment left by a viewer who describes how he modified a standard Roloc backing pad to fit. You could copy his solution or it might at least give you an idea another of your own best regards Steve 👍🔧
@@stevesclassicgarage9464 Many thanks Steve, unfortunately I'm not engineering minded - would you know what the thread is on the male on the Katsu - as I said the M10 female only turns on 1 thread and seizes... best Paul
The easiest way would be to get an M10 (assume it's a standard angle grinder to M14x2 adaptor then buy a roloc holder from Flexipads threaded for m14x2. You can buy a genuine 3m M14 roloc holder but you're looking at £20+, Flexipads are about half the price. I use the Flexipads holder directly on my M14 angle grinder and it's great, a lot better balanced than trying to adapt a normal roloc holder.
@@stevesclassicgarage9464 you can get M14 threaded roloc holders from places like Flexipads, just add an M10 to m14x2 adaptor to the grinder, screw it on and you're good to go 👍
I haven't measured my own but I'm fairly sure that the M10 on the Katsu is fine. M10X1.25?
Great video Steve!!! Keep in posting....
Great video Steve!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Juan it was a fun video to make glad you enjoyed it . 😀🔧🔧👍👍
Great work Steve! Great video too!!!
Thanks Juan please watch the final instalment where I replace the hinge with a new stainless steel one . 👍👍🔧🔧
Great video Steve!!! Great drawing!!! If only Ed could make drawings... let alone write... But, he does have FabCats!
I did the same to mine about 8 years ago. the switches used to operate the seat are, on the seat. It was simple to do. Drop the crossmember a few inches, Forget about the "seat memory control unit) and basically, from memory it was black wires to chassis, orange, green wires ignition control (via 3oA Relay) thats it! Much Much Better. Even the headrests are electric. I even put the 24Valve 4.Litre in with HP22 auto and kept it on the column. I also had it on LPG but going to take it out. Next for me is Lekky windows and CDLS..
Good video Steve!
Thanks Juan 👍
that was good, Thanks.
Keep up the good work....
Great to see these Engkishvclassic car's being kept on the road!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!
Brave man: taking on a roof!!!! VERY difficult to get right....
Keep up the good work on keeping the Mk2 on the road...
Great to see people keeping these classic Jaguars on the road..... Keep on motoring....
Good work Steve!
Thanks for taking the time to record this video. Trying to get the tachometer in my Teal Bugatti working- it has jaguar dials so this is just the ticket!. I would be interested to know if I converted to an Accuspark electronic ignition would that count as electonic ignition that you discuss?
@@stevesclassicgarage9464 Thanks Steve- tried reversing polarity but the tacho didnt work at all.
