XK-E Jaguar

Ok, so you guys got the better of me. I started to put a few pieces together tonight. Nothing special, just dry fitting and cleaning up parts. I'll try and get some paint on, this weekend and get some pictures up.

I'm on that. I had this kit and sold it (it was partly built already).

My step mom had a 71 XKE V12 when I was in high school. I "borrowed" it once when her and my dad were out of town. Very nimble car. Fast too. Took over 120mph.

I've noticed slight changes in the USA/Europe editions, on the real thing. So basically, I have to do some subtle body changes. My issue is, the body also needs some slight filling, which means that I have to partially paint and build, the fill and sand the body, then paint the body. That's gonna be some masking tape, I'll tell ya!

I just can't wait to see this thing come together. I do love a Jaguar.

I might actually get something done today. I've been taking care of my elderly mum, after she had a bad fall, so my time has been precious. She's gone staying at my brother's now, for a while, so that kinda free's me up.

Kyle DeHart
I am sorry to hear about your Mom's fall and hope she's doing ok.

Hope your mum is okay ..and gets better soon . meanwhile get that Jag done are you planning to paint it dark jade green ? 😉 ..with a California plate 👀

Bozzer
Lol Mona. Only you could've guessed the colour!

Bill Newcomer
I too hope your mum recovers quickly.

Bozzer
Thanks a lot guys. She's a tough old girl, at 88, and never had a broken bone until now. Then she goes and fractures her wrist, and breaks her jaw in 2 places! Hospital said she'll mend, but she'll need new dentures. I know what she's getting for Mother's Day now 😉

All the good wished and fast wellbeeing to your mom 🙂
