Widebody Jaguar E-Type With A Toyota 2JZ

[@michaelhughes3302]

Having grown up around British sports cars, Faruk you did an amazing job on this lightweight E. I'm actually surprised that you Larry were able to pick up on the fact that this is a 2+2. As Faruk mentioned, the proportions of the wilder body really help to hide the bulberous butt on the original car vs the very pretty design of the coupe's. It's gorgeous.

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

Man,that car is such a stunner,would never have looked at one twice,but wow.

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Great use of a 2+2, they cost double to restore and are worth less than half as much. Thanks for sharing.

[@russcooke5671]

Jaguar should reproduce it with all the modern specs. ❤

[@3clubforever]

Fantastic build! Definitely want to see more

[@nelsondesilva3916]

It's the best 2+2 E-type I've ever seen! Really, really nice.

[@lqr824]

no such thing as a good 2+2 E-type, they're all absolute crap

[@jjjohny_a5965]

that car is so cool... a great engine with one of the coolest bodys

[@ironmonkey1512]

This car is answer to a problem nobody asked. Looks like a tic-tac with balls on the ends

[@farukkugay5064]

Ballsy tic-tac is a solid name

[@disast1ckup]

That’s wheelbase.. 😮‍💨

[@EvendimataE]

thats the way to go.....why stick with the super expensive original engines if there are cheaper ones that are reliable

[@aftrnoon_ac]

Yeah a 2J is cheap 😂 sure bud

[@malcolmjcullen]

@@aftrnoon_ac at about £12k - £14k for a 2JZ, it'd be half the price of a replacement period in-line 6 in good condition.

[@EvendimataE]

not really cheap, but cheaper than an original jag engine.....and there are other ones that are not hyped@@aftrnoon_ac

[@insector2093]

i think a NA BMW inline 6 with ITB's would have been a better fit in a E-type..

[@djconeyjoe]

@@insector2093well the Toyota 2000GT was heavily influenced by the Jag. ITBs would be sick. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

[@cronoz-sensei4259]

Tastefully done, looks great. If I see anyone hate on this for being "disrespectful to the car", please stop acting like a morron and watch the video. The work quality alone and attention to detail does justice to everything early Jaguars stood for. Marvelous work.

[@mac_m3]

Faruk is a really cool guy. Have met him a few times around Sonoma Raceway... humble and friendly.

[@UncleManuel]

This doesn't scream "widebody" - it just looks right. To pull this off on such an iconic classic car is not easy... 😎🤟

[@avmelidor]

Clean yet powerful. You gotta drive this

[@caribman10]

Hey, why not a Ferguson tractor motor? Or a Ford 300ci Six? Or a late-model Miata motor?

[@Mach5Johnny]

Nice! They made a Jaguar reliable! Haha

[@KandiStomper]

Still waiting for my jaguar to break. It's been 21 years. 😁

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Even Magnus says he loves his e type, but it is not trustworthy

[@Mach5Johnny]

@@josephhertzberg2734 I believe it! Jaguars have always been notoriously unreliable! Especially their electronics. British Car Guys don’t call Lucas Industries The Prince of Darkness for nothing! Haha

[@KandiStomper]

@@Mach5Johnny i must have the holy grail of jaguars or something. Lol Volkswagon (in america) though are the kings of bad electronics.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

I would love to see Factory 5 do an E type body

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

Agreed. Although I also wouldn't mind seeing them do a bespoke body inspired by stuff like the 240Z, XKE, 250 GTO, Daytona coupe, etc.

JLR will take them to the cleaners.

Love the wheels!

[@michaelsummerell8618]

The purists will absolutely love it... 😏

[@wayland7150]

The car combines Jags and Supras, I love both.

[@kurtnebiker8319]

Amazing car. And what a great interview. Larry, you are so good at what you do.

[@SoCalFreelance]

I wonder if a Viper hood mechanism would allow the Jag bonnet to move up and out in a similar fashion? 🤔

[@farukkugay5064]

Dude, I need to look into that!! Thank you for the tip

[@ok_thanks_ok]

amazing looking car

[@IWarwickI]

I want to see a etype wrapped over a ftype.. even if it’s blown out and 3D printed.. can it be done and would it work

[@russcooke5671]

My preference would be Aston DB4 over a later Aston with Alm the modern specs. So it looks original but drives like a new car. ❤

[@lesklower7281]

This E Type looks like it will actually do more than 150mph

[@qwntnqwntn]

This Jag has been my desktop wallpaper at work since the first time I laid eyes on it. It stole my heart immediately!

Absolutely stunning!

[@dimasfajs]

[@sicks6six]

I had to turn the sound off when the interviewer said AAHhhhhh for the 20th time, that was like 3 minutes into the video, would be a good idea to have the builder describing his work without any other person speaking,

[@Kr8zyVids]

Bahahaha looks ridiculous!! damn the wide body is too much imo

[@markbowden7238]

I like most of this build, in fact most of it apart from the instrumentation. Would have been nice to run a digital stepper tach and speedometer off the can-bus, 100mm clocks with physical needles, fully programmable. It would have been a really nice touch to have analogue physical dimmers by incorporating variable ND filters. Digidash is just lazy imo and looks out of place.

[@1loumellor51]

Sniff 😵‍💫

Now this is what I talking about 🎉

[@BahnstormerUK]

[@clarencecrowcarter]

[@TakoIbarra]

Go Faruk!!!

[@dclipper8052]

The 2+2 was already awkward looking but this demonstrates that it had not yet achieved peak awkward. Neat craftsmanship but a really goofy looking base platform.

[@R.J.1]

Whoa.

[@gson6867]

You really have to know your onions if you want to modify the Etype. It was so advanced at the time. They were years ahead of everyone else. Main reason that Jaguar snapped up all the best engineers after the war from the aerospace industry who used there knowledge to develop there cars. It was engineered in such a way that every panel of the car was essential, to come together making the car unbelievably rigid using such lightweight materials. Genius design for its day with disc brakes all round. Still a safe car today with the modern crash structure, which was by design, that was no accident. The straight six engine was a masterpiece, which jaguar used right upto the 90’s.

[@gary5481]

That is sacrilege. Beautiful in some ways, but overbuilt. Why mess with perfection?

[@OctavChelaru]

[@kentbeitel9966]

[@russcooke5671]

Usually I would agree with you. But in this case I prefer this colour.

tesla style dash i think is good for restomod if the original dash is really bad....tesla dash look easy to make.....and because they are very simple, i think they are very relaxing to look at

Not a purist, just got to know what you’re doing with this special car and he’s made it a death trap. Looks like a half arsed rush job sorry. Not thought it through. Compared to Retropower’s build, They’ve done a thorough masterpiece of an etype restomod. Check it out then you’ll understand the difference

[@John15293]

Man even the paint doesn't match on the body vs the wide arches on the rear

[@gson6867]

Give him credit where it’s due, some talent to turn the most beautiful car ever made into a shit box 💩🗳️

[@cronoz-sensei4259]

>Not a purist Proceeds to talk down a restomod in a way that would make Porsche owners seem like reasonable people.

[@3clubforever]

It may be a little rushed but he also stated that he plans to button some things up. Better it be used this way then sitting in a garage in Florida completely disassembled

[@lqr824]

I love E-types and 2JZ (had a Supra in the 90s, and sold it to buy an Eagle E-Type). This combination is the worst-looking piece of crap I've ever seen though. The dechromed look works on some cars (my E39M5 for instance) but not this. Nor do the fender flares. Seriously, if anyone were ever jailed for a crime against a classic car I'd vote it be this guy.

[@philipwilliams3427]

Pick'n'pull has 1/2 off days for motors, he should had pulled one from a lexus sc300/gs300 and should have built it that way. Either way he did a good basic jz build with a nice jag body😎😉

[@PIasmaZombie]

It looks messed up without the bumpers. 👎
