I am the owner. Was gutted when some idiot tried a U turn on a dual carriageway in front of a fire station. Happy to get it back. They were recommend and I pleased with the results.
You chose the right garage. Good workmanship. Accidents will happen. Better in a car than a bike.
I had the 3.8 same colour manual wire wheels i paid 185 pounds for it had to sell when the clutch went
As I think you should be...and that is a highly informed statement
It got fixed?
Good.
She’s a beauty.
45 years in the accident repair industry, you've done a cracking job there , first class.
It's nice to see a car repair in one vid rather than wait 6 months to drag it out. 👍👍👍
After spending 35 + years of being in a body shop I can honestly understand all the process and hard work involved in that massive repair/resto, hats off to everyone involved what a brilliant job 👏👏
Some serious craftsmanship right there. Great video, thanks.
With the extra work to rectify previous sub standard repairs, this car came out better than it went in. MK2s are a complex car to repair, these guys did a great job.
No way an insurance company paid for this. Hats off to the owner for repairing his baby
Classic car insurance will cover full costs ,,they will even pay you with recipes the part you have to buy to give to repairing guy
Have you never heard of classic car insurance?
Fascinating. I spent 2.5 years of my life restoring a Mk2 3.8 devoting all of my spare time to it so I know all about the problem with remanufactured parts. You have done a wonderful job and it is obviously better than it has ever been.
2.5 :) nothing I have been restoring mine since 1988 I still haven't finished :)
A friend of mine in the Street Rod business has always said (I'm going back at least 20 years now) " The only thing the aftermarket parts/panels fit, is the box they came to you in". That very simply and quite accurately "spells it out" !!! Kudo's on a very nicely done repair !!! Whatever this work cost, it was "good value" !!
Now that was better than film 🎥 in my opinion, with the concise voice over and incredible workmanship best one I've watched 🇬🇧💪
Wow! The person who caused the accident actually did the owner a favour. A masterclass in restoration, you should be proud. And it goes to show, even the seemingly best looking classic cars can hide horrors...all those rivets!
Clearly, it was the Owners pride and joy! The accident was most probably a 'blessing in disguise' in stopping the corrosion that already existed - prior to the accident. I doubt that it was an easy fix, but it looks great following careful repairs. Greetings from Australia.
@@peterduxbury927 Yes, there are cowboys everywhere, but thankfully, genuinely good restorers like this guy. Hope all is well in Australia, regards from Ireland.
@@TheHorsebox2 At age 76 years, I am an avid watcher of YT. I had an old rust bucket 3.4 Jag in '68 - but not for long! Fuel Tank had holes at the Seam. It was heavy on fuel, plus it leaked on the road going up hills! Glad that the Owner of this Jag decided to keep it going! I'm originally from Hull UK, moved here in '88, and Australia has been good to us. I drive a 1971 EV Super Beetle (Tesla-Powered), for the last 5 years.
It would definitely give the Jag a run for its' money Haha! Hope that Ireland is Emerald Green and that you're enjoying the summer! Sydney is cold because it's our winter!
Great job ,better than before 😊
@@peterduxbury927 How cold?
Great demonstration of the difficulty involved in getting wings to fit properly
Great, honest, factual and fast moving.
A brilliant repair job better ran original nice to know there are people of this skill still working GOOD JOB🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Fabulous work, enormously complicated and time consuming. Credit to the repair and body shop people involved.
Great video. As a restorer of Jaguars & few other models i understand fully your comments and issues with rebuilding them.I will share the video with friends as
I think you have explained this rebuild very comprehensively but unfortunately most people are shocked at the parts & labour cost on a classic. Cheers Dave
A jig is only as good as the person using it. Nice to see something repaired in the old fashioned way, where all that is neede is a dimensions sheet, a Trammell gauge, common sense and a good pair of eyes. You can see if its straight, as my father used to say. By the way ,a beutifull job. Nice to see people still doing it the old fashioned way. Well done.
Great credit to you and your team for the repairs / restore of this important piece of motoring history.
What a great job they did, beautiful.
I always wanted a carmen red Mk2 so when i could finally afford one, in 1969, i got a 3.4 1963 manual, not very old but very rusty. I slightly restored it and sprayed it carmen red... my pride n joy.
Thanks for the great mems.✌️🇬🇧
Beautiful workmanship
Well done! Props to you and your team. I liked the “It’s a starting point” comment on the aftermarket panels. A lot of people expect factory fitment and the ability to just blast some paint onto them. Being able to work with something that your provided is a skill. Again, well done!
Brilliant job. Owner must be delighted. It’s great that there are still people around with the skills to do this kind of restoration. This was always a lovely car although I don’t recall seeing one in red before
I'm surprised the owner didn't ask you to look at the rear of the vehicle considering what you found up front and the sills. Great job!. 🙂
A great job done, the car looks wonderful. Looking forward to the next video.
Absolute nightmare !!! Love doing this type off work but it so time comsuming so i aviod it. Your work looks top quality and Novol is the way to go i,ve been painring for 47 years and their products are top notch . 👍👍
*Really interesting to see a glimpse of the mammoth amount of work that repair needed*
To be fair, (And I will say right off the bat, you have made a lovely job of the repair) I think the original Jaguars built in Browns lane have a lot of lead filler in them and the genuine pressed panels were not very good to start with. If you look at some of the period "Documentaries" from the 50s, there is plenty of evidence of the amount of lead sticks used in the production of these cars. They certainly were no "Mulliner Park Ward" of their day, that's for sure! Thanks for posting, very interesting!
I completely agree. Very, very sketchy manufacturing techniques used in the manufacture of these vehicles. NOTHING is a bolt on replacement.
Superb restoration . Thank you for saving another classic
The Villain's car of choice in all the old British cops and robbers TV shows.
A lovely looking car, first class repair 👍.
A very beautiful job........................... congrats.
Really good work, especially the panel gaps, and clearly explained. Looking forward to more.
That is very impressive. Great skills.
iv loved these jags for years, wood grain dashboards, smith gauges , great style, the next $million dollar cars
Wow. You did a brilliant job there.
MATE THIS IS HOW WE REPAIRED HEAVY CRASH DAMAGE 40 YEARS AGO. STEP BY STEP A TOTALLY MANGLED MESS COMES BACK LIFE. REALLY GOOD TO SEE.
Fantastic repair and spray job!
Excellent work…thank you for explaining how it is done. I do get what it takes to get it right. Just don’t think I could do that. Love the end result!
Mk2 front wings are massive joining up in the middle of the grill. When i had my Daimler 2.5 done I was lucky the wings were pretty solid needing just patches to the front. Looking at those alignment challenges I was lucky.
Very positive comments and quite rightly so. But l trained on these back in the day and can assure you Jaguars were reknown for their build quality and particularly panel gaps . Our charge hand would get his 2 shilling coin out to ensure that any repairs were gap perfect . Naturally, the construction of the sills would have made it very difficult to mount the car on any jig .......good job too as it happens !
Fantastic job 👏 how it should be done . This was a pleasure to watch. There will always be a couple of snags to tie up with a job this big. I have always been a fan of mk 2 and have always promised myself one should o win the lottery haha.
Great video, good luck with channel. Looks a super job to me but having owned Mk2’s I know how they can hide earlier’repairs’ so I’m glad you did such a thorough job 👍
That is a masterfully honest modest run through raising the stakes to a very pleasing result . Bet the owner was thrilled and reinvigorated
Whenever I see one of these I immediately think of John Thaw in Morse so a good resto job from a basket case smash up 👌👌👏👏
The only positive that came out of that accident was that the customer now has a much better MK2 considering all the body/Chassis rectification work you did to previous poor workmanship, Unfortunately there are a lot of tarted up MK2's still out there! Subbed and liked!
to me a car hit this badly will never drive the same....
My parents had a Mark 4. Oh, I would love to drive that car again for an afternoon. My father was a meticulous man. He traded the Jag for a new Mazda (I think) when it started to require more maintenance then he cared to deal with. I’ll bet he sold it to his mechanic! Never thought of that before! That would have been just like him. The guy only worked on foreign stuff and knew everything about the car since he had worked on it since it came off the boat. Oil every 3000 miles, all locks lubed on schedule etc..
I couldn’t have kept it up at the time, but I sure was crest fallen when I found out it was gone.
Yes I did enjoy the video very much, and (funnily enough) I found that the old stills, combined with your excellent voice over was actually quite an effective way of keeping the obvious progress interesting. ( I don’t think you mentioned the actual doors in this rendition but I’ll presume you made good and treated them to the same paint process as the rest of the car?) -So was it just the roof that you blended?
As the former owner of a Series (not Mk) 2 which was clouted twice and never repaired properly, I salute you.
Well done getting those wings to fit men
Well , here we go someone who knows how to do a real job . !
A great job on this great Mk 2 Jaguar.Despite non original panels it still looks the part , thanks to the work you ve put in it.
Bravo ! There should be some kind of national récognition for as good craftsmen as you. Money is one thing, know how and braveness are other things
Back in the day I've repaired several MkII's with front end damage. A lot of which we stretched and hammered out and lead loaded. This type of repair took much longer but labour was cheap Back then.
Stunning. Well done. 🇬🇧
Mk 2 Jags...love them
1st class JOB ,Well done 🙂
Lovely car so glad it was saved
Great job, lovely car!
Excellent job, well done, thanks for posting
Absolutely beautiful. One of my favourite cars of all time dating back to my youth. OK, bit of snagging, but better than before the accident with both old and new repairs now done properly. Hate to think what it all cost though!!
Beautiful work!
Great video guys! Spot on!
Magnificent. Pulled from the crapper.
Side note: How unexpected to see a '65 Caprice, or is it an Impala 2 dr and a '77? Mark V? on the lot. That would have a 460 ci (7.5) Ford truck engine squeezed under the absurdly long "bonnet". Cheers!
Nice job. Looks great! Cool car.
Outstanding work there!!
Beautiful job !
Top job, i've rebuilt a couple of MK2's over the years and have replaced the front nose, wheel arch and repaired the rear of wings rather than replace it, mainly for cost but also because of fitment issues. It looks cracking, well done! If you are having trouble with the door seals then Toolstation sell a really good super glue that i've used on mine, most glues don't work because the newer rubbers are EPDM which most glues won't stick to. The Toolstation stuff works great.
Well done saved another Jag.
What you've achieved is incredible. A magnificent job becoming a magnificent car. Great respect.
An excellent video guys. Thank you for sharing.
Great meticulous work
Excellent video Sir, and a superb result. Ged
Thank you for being you what a grand job. I just hope and pray in the future young people will enjoy these cars because they don’t seem to be. At this moment. I have a destroyed front wheel drive fuel injected two stroke goliath that lost its life to a tree unfortunately, something that will not be put back in a museum. Regards Alan from down under. I also have a garage queen.
Fantastic work👍🏻
what a beautiful car well done to you for the hard work and to the owner for keeping this car on the road and not breaking it for parts
Nice job Kieth
Wow looks lovely job
BRAVO, Hell of a job 👍
Superb work. Exquisite.
That clearcoat is amazing!
So good to see a real trades man at work ,not many of you guys left .
Great workmanship - well done
Fantastic job, thank you for the video,
Fantastic work guy’s 👍 and a new subscriber to boot.
amazing work sir
Good presentation thank you
Hi there .Really nice job.Hope it was insured as I know how exspensive those gaurds are.
I'm in the prosess of fitting a right hand gaurd and sills iner and outer.
I found a second hand gaurd but wasn't complete.So three peices.
The linning up was verry hard.But happy with the resault.
Beautiful workmanship, a pleasure to watch.
That looks like a wonderful repair, well done to all concerned. 11/10. 👋👍
Good job. really hard job with after market stuff but well done
Nice work guys
.....what a job! Clever guys!!
Fabulous job guys!
I know how much work goes into something like that as I had BMW hit head on many years ago and was in similar state. Weeks of work by a dedicated team got her back to wonderful in about three months. Look forward to other vids! Keep up the great work and have subbed.
I enjoyed the video, well done😎
This is aviation quality. Outstanding.!
More or less reperesenting the video audience, may I ask how many hours were used? You referred may times to it.
Wow amazing 👍👍
Great job - better than new ¬
That is very impressive.
Fantastic job ❤
I trust you used lead and not filler on the joints with the sills and above the grille? Because of the flexing of the body, filler will always crack. I speak with over 40 years of experience on classic Jags.
Nicely done 🎉
That looks like ten grands worth of work to me!
Robert, One wing is 4,753 Pounds without mark up on it! So there is 10K in the two wings alone 🤔 The Jaguar parts are very expensive. I would guess
this whole job would have been around the 25K to 30K mark 😉 Love to know what others viewers would estimate the total bill. Cheers Dave
"Ring Ring" Reality check calling🤦🤦♂🤦♀
I was guessing £30k as starting point
1960s s type wings are about 7 grand each now,luckily for me I managed to get to complete and excellent used ones for 350 quid each.saved the car as I could never have afforded to put new ones on to it.
