Took a bit to figure the top mods, but I feel I've got it. Paul

If there's ever a foreign job that I'd like to build....it's one of these. Looking forward to more Paul.

I also did a 7mm long pie cut from 1mm to 0mm to the top of the fenders over the headlights to match the drop of the nose better.

Great progress on this beauty. What's next on this one?

A few subtle body mods, lower the suspension 2mm and a Paxton Supercharged engine.

Did some engine mods, added the Paxton supercharger and made up the piping, I just need to redo the rubber hoses and clamps. I did move the battery to the right side and air cleaner can to the left. I was intending a V12 but wouldn't fit with out the entire front chassis made from scratch. Did the final reshape of the nose, pretty pleased with the look. Paul

Did some assembly on the interior and added wood grain to the dash, console and upper door, wood fits he style better I think. added a tiny rear spoiler and front splitter. I thought the sides were too bland, so started to put extractors on the back of the front fenders. Still need to add a lip on the outer edges. When painted the extractors will get aluminum screening. One test fit on wheels too. Picked two colors for it, now to decide which I like better with the Ox Blood interior color. Jag XJS Mica Blue or traditional British Racing Green. Paul
