Classic Car Restoration Problems ( Jaguar XK 150 )

It’s so bloody close isn’t it that tonneau! At least now you can see exactly what you need to do or rather Jonathan needs to do. Will be terrific when it’s done. 😊

Alan, I know it‘s a bugger but like i said it hits you right in the eyes so it has to be 100% correct or it will stick out like soar thumb. Cheers Dave

Hi David, Bit of a battle without Jonathon having the car in front of him. My trimmer used to make everything in his workshop on the vehicle if possible. Luckily for me he was in one of my ind. units nearly next door to me. Lock issues. I have lost count of the parts i have bought which are no good and then tried to find original bits if poss. Even the simplest parts are often incorrect. I think you will struggle even with templates to get that back panel cock on. Best of luck. David, U.K.

David, I agree it‘s not an easy to make something to fit off the car but he is making them from a pattern so hopefully with the bow and the tonneau plus a full template we may be able to manage it. The parts thing is getting worse as some of the parts are not fit for purpose why there not quality checked is beyond me. Cheers Dave

Brendan, I know but it‘s so frustrating when you have to go backwards 😩 Fortunately there is an upside with getting the parts back to the UK which I will explain in a future video. Jeremy is coming to Vienna for a few days and he will take it back to the UK for me which will be a massive help. Cheers Dave
