    Hey Mike, my vote is a classic Jag colour from the 60s-70s called, "Opalescent Silver Blue." It would look fantastic with the interior. The colour code manufacturers are: Dupont 8316L,
    PPG 12594 (1997), Ditzler 12594 (1997), Glasurit (BASF) JAG-7410S.

    Mikey Mikey, if you had removed the grommet from the pillar, there's the plug that you unplug to remove the door. The reason why you have a gap between the liner and the bumper is that the bumper is missing that piece that attaches the liner to the bumper

    The jaguar is coming along great Mike. The new parts are giving it a second chance to get it back to its former glory. I vote for the colour to be kept original.

    When I had my air conditioning repaired, the shop failed to put the exterior drain in the exterior. On a long road trip, the passenger side was flooded with water, like your car. After I removed the water, I kept the carpet up high, and installed a house fan in the car to dry it out. It will take forever letting it dry without a lot of air circulation, and may never properly dry, leading to mould and mildew.

  • @rossk4946
    @rossk4946 4 дня назад +1

    Looking at it from the front, the dark blue is a nice contrast to the grey color. You could go for a two-tone paintjob - Maybach-style 😉👌 Oh yeah, that guy at the junkyard definitely had dinner on your 40 bucks

    That was a lot of work Mike, but it looks fantastic. Can’t wait until you get it painted, I think that dark blue would look great on it, but it would be easier to go back with the color it came from the factory with….

    Mike, I love your ducks commentary. He quacks so much because he is telling you that you're not doing it right. Fitting a luxury Jag into a Mondeo shell. Of cause it's difficult. Same when Mercedes tried to fit a GL class into a Grand Cherokee. 8 hours just to replace the alternator. The S-Type is my fav out of all the Mondeo class Jaguars. But still would take a XJ or Sovereign any day.

    @terrydowning6365 4 дня назад

    Mike you are man among men, you are not afraid to take on the big jobs and you always get the job done and it always looks better than when you start. As you say leave it better than you find it and you certainly did that for that Jaguar. I love these cars but I'm not as good of a mechanic as you are and I'm not rich so I couldn't pay someone a lot of money to fix it so I have to live without one. But I can watch my buddy, good ol' Monkey Wrench Mike maybe you've have heard of him. He'll show you why you don't want to own one. Love your video's they are the best, even the one's with Randy. Nice job on the Jag, you are indeed saving her from the junk yard. I really like the navy blue that is on the new bumper but it would be cheaper and easier to paint it back to the original color, which I guess is that darker gray color. I'm over silver cars so anything but that but your choice. 😀✌❤
