Daytona Coupe From a XJ12 Jag?? I think its possible!

Im going to turn this rusty Jaguar XJ12 into a Classic Shelby Daytona Coupe Peter Brock Design.
Taking the V12 out and engine swap with a small block ford, the goal with this car is to make a date night car. Something quick fast and light and fun.

Doors on any coupe tend to be just a little bit longer for passenger rear access. Since u are using the saloon doors , u need to create an illusion that u are using the doors from a coupe. With that being said , b4 cutting the middle section , see the rear side window ratio to the door window in a coupe and adjust accordingly to your saloon doors for the correct ratio of how much to cut and what not to cut. Gud luck on the project✌️

[@myclassicfords3658]

You are correct about the doors, it’s a hard thing to make look correct without adding length to the front doors. Thanks for watching!

@@myclassicfords3658 Welcome and thanks for making this type of content for the next generation of petrolheads👍instead of adding to the doors we removed the rear quarter windows and reshape at the c- pillars coz I'm not touching the b - pillars coz I wud endup getting frustrated, scrap the car and report it stolen and claim the insurance🤣🤣
