My kit is about to be shipped from England to Washington state. I will let you know how I get on. Will need some answers to issues, I am sure. My donor is a 1983 XJ6 that I am stripping down to reuse. Wish me luck.

Hi Richard…what model is it…xk140?..what are you getting shipped a body and chassis?..Steve
Steve, It is being called a XK120ish, but it is a little wider bodied, fiberglass with a removable hard-top and a new zinc dipped chassis. Also new gas tank, and pieces that I will make the footwell and bulkhead. The steering column and driveshaft is shortened by them at Autotune (in England) to fit.

Best of luck with your project!
How about pictures. Sounds interesting
So it’s a coupe of sorts with a removable top
You will have to send further photos with progress being made
Love that color. I’m a blues man!
I am very happy with the unboxing. Rebuilding the front and rear ends with lighter springs and shockers to make it a roller. Will let you know how it goes.

I didn’t like having to remove the fiberglass body. It looks like I am moving backwards on the project, but to do electrical and build the firewall, it had to happen. I will post at the next milestone.

I am getting behind on the build, so I worked on the important stuff first. It should go faster with the growler.

My leather came in. I think it is going to look great next to the blue and add 5 more HP. Still no engine but I now have a machine shop story to tell.
