XJ220 Build Up (pics)
This post is going to chronicle the build up of the Jaguar XJ220, (Tamiya)

I started out by building the egine... The hardest part of the accurate replica stock build up is refference materials. Some people on this forum were able to help me to gather up some materials and photos of number 168 of the production vehicle.

The engine went from scatered peices like these:


and



to scratchbuilt and plumbed engine, ready for install...

That big cat is coming along great. I'm planning to build an XJ220C Le Mans car sometime, so am very interested in how everything goes together for you. The engine looks superb.
