Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Oh thanks guys & thanks for the pics of your XJS's, yes, it does look like a pretty decent kit for its age. Body mods.........naaaaaaa, not really my thing or should i just be plain truthfull and say that i darent even try as i wouldnt want to Fu%¤ this one up. We'll see though if it needs lowering a touch, probably will. It would help too if i could find some decent pix on the net.
Body gets painted on friday then left to dry for a month or so leaving me time to get on with the engine etc......... Thanks again, Mike

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Oh sorry Mike... just your VIP builds led me to believe you were modding them and this Jag looked like it might get the VIP treatment. never had a VIP kit so didnt realise they looked so good OOB.

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Will follow this thread with interest! Not least because I have the same kit
 On a minority voice about those wire wheels...hmmmm Somehow this 70s car doesn't take wire wheels well for me - a tad OTT but I look forward to changing my mind in the completed thread  PS I haven't forgotten about the S800 photos, I'm still away from the office.

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
One very cheesy car coming up, one! I like it a lot!
It's a quite nice kit, with a nice V12 in it, I m sure you ll make the best of it. Oh and I m with Klutz on this one, I m watching it closely to see what has to be done on my cabrio version still bathing in the DOT4 for ages now. Oli ( agreed on the hmmmmm factor of the rims- it might need something even cheesier to ride on)

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Good to see something new from you, Mike! Never seen this one here before, will be a pleasure to follow. I still have the racing version of this one in my closet.
If you´re still undecided on the wheels, please take something different than those Fujimi spokes. They doesn´t suit this Jag very well, if you ask me. Either spoke wheels and big tyres, or different ones an low tyres, but low tyres on spokes are terrible.
