Nice work! Wiring can be a pain, i usually just test, trace and connect one wire at a time

Great stuff! Get in there! Rven if its just half an hour, pick something easy and get stuck in :)

Sounds interesting! Email me at budgethomeclassics@gmail.com

Throw it away seems to be the modern way. Which is a shame. We used to be a world of “made to last”, engineered with the customer in mind, to be able to fix it themselves. One day there will be very few of these vehicles left, most likely only in museums. If i can keep even just one of them on the road for a few years longer, it’s a part of our mechanical and engineering history that lives on, in the way it was designed to be used. History in motion.

Yeah the 2.4 was too far gone to save, the 3.4 runs like a dream. Ill get a snip of it running in the next video

I doubt there would have been much to go off if i had! As much as our process is time consuming, you need the rusty parts to see the shapes and angles you need to reproduce, then cut out the old and weld in the new. There wasnt an inch of it we havent been through in honesty.

@@budgethomeclassics doing a great job that was almost past saving ....

Thank you so much for your kind words! Thank you for watching Brian :)

Having brought things blind I sympathise but what a nice job you and your dad have done and be proud of I’m impressed

Coconut flavoured thins! Haha i need to start using my clip on mic more. Apologies!

Thanks Chris! Thanks for watching!

The main cost has been paying for steel (pretty cheap), paying for gas for the welder (not so cheap) and my own time/patience (costs nothing).

I cant take all the credit, i couldnt have done it without help from Jim. Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!

Bravo to Jim too...keep up the good work guys.. .to keep these classics on the rd

Thanksssss!

Nice bloody work! “I dont wanna know about it and i dont wanna see it.” - The Missus 🤣 Im lucky ive got a space to do these ridiculous escapades away from home. Jags are the most awkward ive had to do so far. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for watching!

I cant wait to get my hands into the volvo! Youre a man of great taste!

Absolutely lovely cars! However the British seasons and a positive earth will rot them out quicker than anywhere! Thanks for watching!

Trust me, if id have actually gone and seen it before paying. I wouldnt have bought it 🤣

@ Most people including me would have broken it for parts but you have gone ahead and took the welding on, Just brilliant mate. Another MK2 saved!

Cheers rob, will definitely be my last jag 😂😭

@@budgethomeclassics I feel bad for you, I really do.

@ It's great that you are saving one and getting it back on the road, Kudos to you mate 👌

Haha this has been on the go since last september. So four months of every evening and as many weekends as i can. Safe to say, im NEVER doing another mk2 haha!

Thanks very much! I have absolute scatter brain mostly and get lost on tangents, so i try and force myself to be methodical.

Im sorry to say i had to move from the old workshop and unfortunately had to sell the Scimitar :(

Fantastic! Im so pleased you found it useful. Thanks for watching!

Where abouts in the world are you?

@@budgethomeclassics I'm in LA

@@budgethomeclassics where can I find parts?

Hi! Thanks for watching! I did all the work myself, biggest problem youll have is getting the exhaust manifold/headers past the steering column. im about to remove this engine as its knocking, and replace it with one ive rebuilt. But theres loads of bits that need doing first that i ignored first time round. Ill talk about it all in that upcoming video, so stay tuned to find out bud 🤘🏻

The only thing custom made is the propshaft. Oh and the gearbox is a 5 speed LT77 👍🏻

@@budgethomeclassics Perfect! I'll await your vid! Engine mounts will probably have to be custom too right? the LT77 from a SD01 or something right? I can get one from a landy but that will have a transfer case i think. Not sure I want to make the JH AWD yet haha

Thanks for the tip! Ive had a few discs explode on me and carry the scars. the vest majority of the time in the workshop i do wear them. Thanks for watching! Im almost to the end of the T3 now, so will be moving onto something else soon. I dont own the scimitar anymore unfortunately, sorted the welding, got the engine running and sold it as a running project. Thanks for commenting :)

Noiceee! About 3500 miles after this vid this engine started knocking. So im currently swapping it for a spare ive got and will be doing a full rebuild on it so more to come! Love the shape of an SD1!

@@budgethomeclassics Oof, I suppose you can only keep reviving it for so long. good luck on the next one :D

Cheers Russ! 🤘🏻

Thanks for the tip!

Little sips.

Hahaha duuudeee! When i had the engine out of my van i did measure things up and take a look. V8 wont fit without big changes, potentially a ford V6? Unfortunately the van is my daily at the minute while i engine swap the Jensen so i cant rip it to pieces at the minute!

Couldnt believe how well it turned out!

Thanks!

That's not a biscuit reference for a change.😉 I meant nice worktop.

😂

Sometimes They send these things to test us! Haha

Thats a great suggestion! Ive never heard of that stuff before. I will have to revisit the seats again i think and ill definitely keep this idea in mind. Thanks for the tip 🤘🏻

Haha great stuff! Im glad i could help in some way 🤘🏻

You just put O on the end, surely? “Emergency-o el petrol bag-o!”

Thanks Rich!

Im a fast learner.

15:28 Good man.

Thank you so much, those are some very kind words! This is great news and completely heart warming to hear! What an exciting time! If theres anything you want me to cover or any questions, get hold of me on insta or drop me an email! :) Good luck with the build!

@@budgethomeclassics Thank you so much, you're so kind! A proyect like this is very exciting, also exhausting, but there's this wholesome feeling of watching everything turn out good in the end, it has no price. Watching how you adapt and overcome obstacles with good spirit and fun is very inspiring, keep it up you're doing great! And thanks for the support, i dropped a message on insta and also to tell you that the first comment i posted at minute 1 so i didn't see the spanish/portuguese map. I speak native spanish so let me know if you need anything, i'd be very happy to help with the translation! :)
