This is my car about a month ago. Its since been stripped to bare metal. The doors, n/s/f wing, wheel arch and bootlid repaired. According to the restorer its to be given an epoxy coat this week with work resuming after Christmas. The company have a facebook site and are called Painting Classic Cars if anyone is interested! (Normal non affiliation applies!) A number of other interesting projects are underway including a 57 Convertible. There is also have a 56 wagon onsite and previously shown restored are a very early XJ6 along with a very extensively renovated XJC featured on the Harry’s Garage Youtube series.
I’ve got a Mark IX that looks to be in about the same “before” shape as your Mk2… I wish Painting Classic Cars had a shop over on this side of the pond! Plenty of restoration shops over here, but none that I can find that fill the niche that PCC occupies. Please keep those photos of your progress coming.
Great-looking car!
Jay
Mk2 to be painted this week; PCC have undertaken another Mk2 rebuild too; mine is the car to the right.
Jay, I love the Mark IX & have owned 2. One of them was a two tone green with arrow straight bodywork and original paint with a truly beautiful interior. Unfortunately, its also had two plus inches of rust all way round every panel!
