1967 E type Jaguar OtsToday was a good day. I have had the car registered exactly 30 days today and I finally worked out carburetor issue (poor idle) due to poor fit of new intake manifold) I little massaging with hammer fixed it- it just did not align like removed one. So I took her for a 20 mile drive and she did well. There are still many things to do but it was a great milestone as this car has not been finished enough to be driven ever and its life was started in 1980’s

1967 E type Jaguar OtsThanks for wire wheel info. That is definitely something I’m going to think about. Really appreciate all the info and I’ll be back with more questions.

1967 E type Jaguar Otsedsnova I looked at some of your photos. It looks like you widened the car and installed wire wheels. I would love to know how you mounted the wheels as well what you used. My car will not remain yellow and I am not afraid to make mods prior to paint. I have and extra set of 15″ E type wire wheels removed from my other car that I would love to install on the migi. I am going to get myself in so much trouble here. Bob

1967 E type Jaguar OtsThe wood on the back my dad got from Moss and apparently it came on the originals Td’s according to him. I have not verified that as of yet. The louvered panels are stamped steel. I have been thinking of wrapping the grille with chrome (not myself) but someone who knows how to do it. I have slats from original td that will have to be trimmed to fit after I cut out the opening if possible. I have a windscreen question- The front window frame is grooved in front and glass is set back- this looks to me that it is installed backwards? Am I wrong? I also lost the wing windows in transport from Bay area Ca- there somewhere between 5 and the 101 🙄 . where is the best place to source new ones. Thanks for you input and I am sure I will be asking many more questions.
