Dogsbd Senior Member Registered: 10/28/04 Posts: 2599 Loc: SC, USA	Originally Posted By: Paul Morrison In his defence, I recently saw a Jag e-type on the side of the road with a for sale sign on it. I'm absolutely positive it wouldn't run if tried. However, the thought did cross my mind of trying to restore it by fixing up the body and replacing the engine with something that would run. Its not like there's a lot of engines for late 60's Jag e-types out there. Absolutely. Compare the price of a Jag engine, any Jag engine, to the ubiquitous Chevy small block (I'm surprised you can't buy them at Walmart) and you'll see why a Jag might end up with a bowtie under the hood! _________________________ ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Quad-Core CPU Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin SDRAM DDR3 1600 *Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s HD x2

speedbump Hotshot Registered: 11/23/05 Posts: 6483 Loc: Edgewood TX	This vehicle makes the rounds of all the auto shows around here in east Texas. It's actually harder to look at in real life than it is to look at in the pictures. Every time I see it I want to grab a hammer, not for the car, but for the owner.

Sauron Successor to Bill the Cat! Hotshot Registered: 11/09/09 Posts: 5872 Loc: Quantum Superstate	Where's NavyNuke99? He'll be outraged... There's an S2000 under all that they say. The Honda S2000: Official car of Pepto-Bismol. I think that last one is the Easter Bunny's car. He really goes for those yellow and purple schemes... Cheers!

DaveP63 Member Registered: 01/15/07 Posts: 1354 Loc: Indiana, USA	A guy I knew back in the day named Bruce had a nice mustang. He decided that it needed a hood scoop. Soooo, he cut a hole in the hood and made one out of a bit of sheet metal. No, he didn't have a sheet metal bender. Then he decided it needed a spoiler. So he made one of those. Out of bondo. Freehand. He forgot to make allowances for opening the trunk, so he took the seat backs out of the rear seat to access the trunk. He decided it needed a custom paint job so he painted it corvette yellow with red and blue stripes. He laid the stripes out with tape. Regular tape. Freehand. It looked like it was doing a permanent hole shot due to the overload from the thousand pounds of bondo on the trunk lid.

As for the other pics, that just makes me that much more pissed that mine is totaled.
