Jaguar E-type - how to fix rust and old repairs properly with plenty of metalwork and welding.

- Here’s a Series 2 E-type roadster we completed a 1500 hour restoration on late spring this year.
What started out as a few blisters here and there quickly turned into an engine and drive train removal, the exterior of the car completely bare metalled removing all the old paint and filler.
Once the car was loaded on our Globaljig and bolted down to all its major location points we could begin with cutting out years of poor repairs and excessive corrosion replacing it all with new panels.
The metalwork stage was fairly comprehensive but not at all surprising and came in at around 400 hours, fairly typical of a car having gone through long periods of relatively low value.

A massive amount of work in that, especially getting it all straight and getting the gaps and panels lined up. Awesome job.
A fairly big job, the S1 FHC we just did was even more involved.
Thank you for the kind words 😊
Not only is that the best jig I have seen but some of the best bodywork repairs I have seen on UA-cam. really brilliant work on bringing that E Type back!
Thank you 😊
Good afternoon Gentlemen, that is beautiful metal work. I do like your videos. Lots of visual explanations. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks and take care. Good luck.
Thanks for your kind words Steve, really appreciate the support.
Stunning piece of work, amazing skills and knowledge 👍
Thank you for you kind words, Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work. Can’t believe you didn’t remove the steering wheel. Would have made the lads work a bit easier in the drivers side foot well 😂
Would it have been less work, and maybe less expensive to just get one of the new complete bodies? I think I saw a British company that's making complete shells from the original jigs.
It would have been more expensive for a complete new body and taking that option would have lost a lot of originality so I’m always in favour of doing what I can to retain as many original panels as possible.
Have a great New Years 🍻
Is that all sng Barretts sheet metal?

@@prestigepaintworksltd Thanks, is that because of better fitment or just conveniens?
Convenience really,
The standard isn’t any better from one supplier or another to be honest, they all need fettling to make them fit well.
