Both front and rear Jag suspension units have been totally reconditioned and this part of the project is now complete. Brakes are also done up, only the remote reservoir has to be installed. We decided to fit an electric power steering unit, modified from a German Opel - it's fitted in the trunk and hydraulic pipes have been connected to the steering rack - only the wiring needs to be done. The original wheels were widened 2" on the inside, and are mounted on the adapter plates. The glass is in - complete with color-coded (gray) rubber. Today, the assembled engine and transmission were installed (painted Ford blue - kind of bright!). New Dolphin electronic gauges (styled to match the originals) and a Lokar Nostalgia shifter arrived from the U.S. I was hoping to have the car on the road by Christmas, but it's more likely to be end-January.
