1958 Jaguar XK 150 Roadster, New Interior & Jacking System 

Thank you very much i think we have the right colour combo and the complete wood dash will really set it all off, 3D printing the bungs is the way to go. Cheers Dave

Richard, Thanks very much I really like the colour combo. I was a bit surprised when a saw a 58 model with the helper springs 🤔 Cheers Dave

I checked and the vin number for the car was after the change to the support system in April 59. The larger rear lights were Oct 59. The car was built between these dates.

Martin, I had no idea there was a hinge system with a spring helper or I would have fitted it instead of the rams 🤔You learn something every day 🤣😂 Cheers Dave

Ted, It is very light but I just think there two colours pop together, Your welcome I hope it works for you. Cheers Dave

Doug, I just want to lay it out to see how well it fits and looks. It‘s a bit lighter than I thought but I love the colour combo. Cheers Dave

Pete, Thanks very much it‘s taken a while but were getting there! Cheers Dave

John, Well it is winter in Australia 🤣😂 But not Europe 🤔 I just wanted to get all the bits & bobs in one shot plus the couriers are charging a small fortune and they don‘t give a shit about the condition of your package. Let alone the taxes 🤫 to import from the UK 😉 Cheers Dave

Alex, It was good to see how it is put together in the car as it‘s not a job I have ever done on this model. Hopefully it will go well 🤔 Cheers Dave

Your right you have to pay a premium on some marques but for the same money you could buy a small new car! Cheers Dave

John, Sir William knew a thing or two about sales 😉I mentioned to Martin with the XK 150 DHC while we were having a pub lunch about the problem with common senses is it‘s not very common 🤣😂 and Martin & Jonathan cracked up. I agree once the seats go in it will tone it down a bit 🤔 Cheers Dave

Thanks, I want to make a system that doesn't involve me struggling with the plugs. I don‘t understand why they sell parts not fit for purpose 🤔 Cheers Dave

Dave, I really want to get it finished but there are a few electrical jobs to get done before we can crack on, We also have family over for a few weeks so I‘m limited to what I can do and Amir is on his days off so I will do a few bits & boobs on the Citroen as we don‘t need two people 😉 We will be doing the same as you this year with the lower wooden garage as I need to get it insulated before winter it all takes time and money doesn't it!🤔I Think the classic car market will go down over the next few years as money gets tight and the cost of living goes up along with interest rates so it will be a good time to buy a project. Cheers Dave

Yes even if you put in plenty of your own labour but materials have only gone up up up! You're right as there is more stock but nothing under 100K ausd

Doug, A friend of mine is going to 3D print bungs for me 😉👍 Cheers Dave

Jonathan, Thanks, Did you see my comment on your channel 🤔 Cheers Dave

@@ClassicCarCave - yes, thank you. Already updated the name!! Waiting to go viral!

John, I will take a look, But there is no better test than putting a round peg in a square hole 🤣😂 Cheers Dave

Luis, Thanks very much is there any chance you will pop over to me some time as I have another item I want to get 3D printed 🤔 Cheers Dave

Gary, It‘s only an expression 🤔Sadly this all you got from the video 😏 Cheers Dave

Thanks I will take a look and search the internet but it looks like my friend Luis will come to the rescue 😉 if you read his comment. Cheers Dave
