I knew a Sh!thead guy who had a Jag back in the early 80's who did the same. Not sure however what year it was - only that it was a Jag and Brown. _________________________ It's a Game.

Work the exhaust into side pipes. Chop the front end down to make the lines a little neater. the front fenders need to be redone, since you can see they are beat to crap. but done up to custom car quality I can see that looking sorta cool Edited by Supra (01/12/12 03:48 PM)

I've seen Audi Q7s, Porsche 911s, BMW M3s and Bentley Continentals in matte black. Whoever thinks that is cool ought to have new taste glands forcibly transplanted I saw an AMG BLACK E-63 in this sort of paint recently. I think that's stock. Quote: A '66 Jag E type with a chevy 350 in it......the guy who did that should be shot with a ball of his own sh!t 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. _________________________ The word "Martyr" is just a fancy name for "crappy fighter".

Its not like there's a lot of engines for late 60's Jag e-types out there. Now WHY would you ever want to replace a Jaguar engine?? They are actually quite reliable you know. It's just the electrics by Lucas (aka The Prince of Darkness) that are crap. The 3.8- and 4.2-litre straight sixes are two of the finest engines in automotive history. A classic Jag does NOT have a V8 in it, period. The Jag straight six has even been used in British light tanks and AFVs, like the Scorpion. _________________________ In all my years I've never seen the like.
