Widebody Jaguar E-Type With A Toyota 2JZ 

Having grown up around British sports cars, Faruk you did an amazing job on this lightweight E. I'm actually surprised that you Larry were able to pick up on the fact that this is a 2+2. As Faruk mentioned, the proportions of the wilder body really help to hide the bulberous butt on the original car vs the very pretty design of the coupe's. It's gorgeous.

Great use of a 2+2, they cost double to restore and are worth less than half as much. Thanks for sharing.

This car is answer to a problem nobody asked. Looks like a tic-tac with balls on the ends

The purists will absolutely love it... 😏

thats the way to go.....why stick with the super expensive original engines if there are cheaper ones that are reliable

Man,that car is such a stunner,would never have looked at one twice,but wow.

O.M.G. -- The GREATEST, COOLest, (and WiDEST, Lol ) Jaguar E-Type / XKE -- E.V.E.R. -- THANK YOU SOO MUCH -- YOU MADE MY DAY !! AND: a Little More Detail - the 2+2 FiXES the Proportions Problem of stock E-Types, with Cartoony Short Door-Glass Windows and their SuperLONG Nose, Going On Til the Base of the A-Pillars !!

I wonder if a Viper hood mechanism would allow the Jag bonnet to move up and out in a similar fashion? 🤔

That’s wheelbase.. 😮‍💨

Hey, why not a Ferguson tractor motor? Or a Ford 300ci Six? Or a late-model Miata motor?

Bahahaha looks ridiculous!! damn the wide body is too much imo

Jaguar should reproduce it with all the modern specs. ❤

Fantastic build! Definitely want to see more

Monstrosity

I want to see a etype wrapped over a ftype.. even if it’s blown out and 3D printed.. can it be done and would it work

Awesome car, I love these anti-purity builds

Nice! They made a Jaguar reliable! Haha

Love the wheels!

I like most of this build, in fact most of it apart from the instrumentation. Would have been nice to run a digital stepper tach and speedometer off the can-bus, 100mm clocks with physical needles, fully programmable. It would have been a really nice touch to have analogue physical dimmers by incorporating variable ND filters. Digidash is just lazy imo and looks out of place.

Faruk is a really cool guy. Have met him a few times around Sonoma Raceway... humble and friendly.

I would love to see Factory 5 do an E type body

I had to turn the sound off when the interviewer said AAHhhhhh for the 20th time, that was like 3 minutes into the video, would be a good idea to have the builder describing his work without any other person speaking,

That is sacrilege. Beautiful in some ways, but overbuilt. Why mess with perfection?

that car is so cool... a great engine with one of the coolest bodys

That thumbnail😅. Immediately thought of Jessie

blasphelicious

Crime de lèse majesté, quitte a changer le moteur , un moteur jaguar AJ6 4l aurait meilleure mine pour ce bitza.

It's the best 2+2 E-type I've ever seen! Really, really nice.

Only suggestion is if it was chopped.

The E-Type is screaming for a barra..

Pick'n'pull has 1/2 off days for motors, he should had pulled one from a lexus sc300/gs300 and should have built it that way. Either way he did a good basic jz build with a nice jag body😎😉

This doesn't scream "widebody" - it just looks right. To pull this off on such an iconic classic car is not easy... 😎🤟

Take a page from Victory by Design and put the talking heads behind the car. It’s about the car!

PRETTY SHARP, PRETTY COOL...🤙🏽.. ,WOULD DRIVE IT IF YA LET ME...FANTASTIC BUILD

Eine Ikone wurde zerstört. Unverständnis auf ganze Linie

amazing looking car

It have one of those with a 1jz awell

Stop dong stuff like this.

Japuar xjz?

Toyota still makes the 2jz long blocks. I'm just not going to tell you how to get one though 😂

Put in an original motor. Jeez

This E Type looks like it will actually do more than 150mph

Whoa.

Clean yet powerful. You gotta drive this

That's just wrong.

¡Es precioso! :)

Cocaine? Sniff* sniff*

Is that altro song available for download? Love it.

Amazing machine

Amazing car. And what a great interview. Larry, you are so good at what you do.

Sniff 😵‍💫

The only way. I love jaguars 😂

😎🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸👍🇯🇵😜

beautiful car buddy! what color are those wheels? love it😍

You made me want to keep m y bike

2JZ swap everythings🔥

The 2+2 was already awkward looking but this demonstrates that it had not yet achieved peak awkward. Neat craftsmanship but a really goofy looking base platform.

11:09 😂 NBD…750hp…

incredible 😮

Damn, stole my idea. Looks great and now I’m going to have to come up with something else.

Beautiful

Wild😊

I 💞 those rims ❤

Man wit taste 🙌💪 Beautiful car 🔥

Now this is what I talking about 🎉

What a beautiful car

Go Faruk!!!

I love E-types and 2JZ (had a Supra in the 90s, and sold it to buy an Eagle E-Type). This combination is the worst-looking piece of crap I've ever seen though. The dechromed look works on some cars (my E39M5 for instance) but not this. Nor do the fender flares. Seriously, if anyone were ever jailed for a crime against a classic car I'd vote it be this guy.

Respect your building skills but as a purist gearhead n old school. I'd get that need TLC and put it back completely stock.

Larry, you know my restomod Z, still needs a peeper sticker... Now it's 2024.... Larry always brings the Cars, Car Guys, want to see, he NEVER ,misses! Still need a video of Orange Bang, FuguZ, Doc...in the canyons

You really have to know your onions if you want to modify the Etype. It was so advanced at the time. They were years ahead of everyone else. Main reason that Jaguar snapped up all the best engineers after the war from the aerospace industry who used there knowledge to develop there cars. It was engineered in such a way that every panel of the car was essential, to come together making the car unbelievably rigid using such lightweight materials. Genius design for its day with disc brakes all round. Still a safe car today with the modern crash structure, which was by design, that was no accident. The straight six engine was a masterpiece, which jaguar used right upto the 90’s.

Tastefully done, looks great. If I see anyone hate on this for being "disrespectful to the car", please stop acting like a morron and watch the video. The work quality alone and attention to detail does justice to everything early Jaguars stood for. Marvelous work.

This is inspiring to want to do a widebody and such to my Jaguar STR. I wouldnt 2J though. Definitely prefer my 4.2 V8. 😁

tesla style dash i think is good for restomod if the original dash is really bad....tesla dash look easy to make.....and because they are very simple, i think they are very relaxing to look at

Nice innovate job: however the Jag was plain astonishing when it came out in the early 60s and the engine straight six is something even the Italian engine makers should bow down to-- even now. Again, nice try.

It looks messed up without the bumpers. 👎

Absolutely stunning!

What a beautiful car. If this was mine I would have went with British Racing Green 👌🔥

Now that’s a bad ass jag! 👍😎😊

Very cool build !

❤

This Jag has been my desktop wallpaper at work since the first time I laid eyes on it. It stole my heart immediately!

Not a purist, just got to know what you’re doing with this special car and he’s made it a death trap. Looks like a half arsed rush job sorry. Not thought it through. Compared to Retropower’s build, They’ve done a thorough masterpiece of an etype restomod. Check it out then you’ll understand the difference

What a machine! ❤
