    The battery area corrosion will have been caused by a lead acid battery not been vented through the boot floor, there should have been a floor mounted plastic plug which pipes fit from the battery vents.

    What a lashup, welding in rust not attending to the corrosion of the inner sill panel also the seat belt anchor point is weak. When I was panel panel beating in the 60s 70s and 80s all rusted panels were removed and I remade all to original spec to me this is bodgework. No doubt it will all be covered with a thick coating of under seal..

  • @bobfrankish8883
    @bobfrankish8883 16 днів тому

    Always good to see you two back at it again. I think some of your viewers and commenters may be missing a point on the Jag. You clearly state that it is your goal to get the car back on the road, not to do an in-depth restoration like you have done with the Mini. It is obvious that the Jag is pretty much far gone when it comes to rust and would just not be viable to restore properly, consequently you will be making repairs rather than restoring. You always do a good job though, so I'm sure it will end up a lot better than when you got it.

    Got to admire the ability and work ethic but I was puzzled by some of the decisions made. 28:45 why leave the rotten and holed end of the inner rocker poking out then weld the closing panels to it? Surely that section of inner rocker should have been replaced, not least for structural reasons. Even though you undersealed that projecting seam rot will start again there pretty quickly being the wettest spot on the car.
