New project

[CL290005]

New kit ordered

After completing my Ecoboost westfield project, I decided to look for something a bit different, I will be keeping my Westfield.

So my question is would our Westfield members like to follow my build of my Jaguar C type, I thought I would ask first  as this is a Westfield forum, if so I will look at making a blog on here

Look forward to your responses

Chris 

[MCB]

Yes, very interested in your build

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Yes, please post it up. I enjoy reading about alternative projects.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Oh, yes please!

Always interested to see new and different stuff.

[CL290005]

Cheers 

thanks for support I thought best to ask first 

[Thrustyjust]

Without a doubt, yes. Will be great. Used to play Jags at a mates, with his dads Kougar kit , which he still races and also building a V12 Daytona and stripping V12's out of very rusty old jags as donors.

[SootySport]

Oh yes!     Jaguar nut here as well.   Another Essex Jaguar nut is Kenny P, he'll be interested as well.

[Kingster]

Thumbs up from me too

[CL290005]

Not sure if I'm doing it correct but I started a blog or I think I have, first time I've tied this, if you think it would be better in a discussion area then please advise

hope you like the introduction with a taster photo, that will be my finished colour 

[XTR2Turbo]

yes yes .  I am enjoying the XI builds because they are also a bit different

[CL290005]

Yes I thought about the XI but wanted something even more different and good power that I can use to drive down to Le Mans classic and Spa

 

[Rory's Dad]

Ron Siddall who lives near Rotherham built a beautiful C Type and made it an actual reproduction of an existing car.  He/I wrote it up in a Yorkshire entry in the magazine a few years ago.  Ron is maybe a lifetime member having been instrumental in getting the WSCC going in Yorkshire 25 years ago.  Oh and he was club chairman too IIRC!  He's also on Facebook.

Will have to look back in my old copies, I found the write up, this is the same kit supplier I am using, the only difference will be my intention is I intend to try and give mine a more modern/reliable drive using the Supra box, electric power steering and injected 

[Steve (sdh2903)]

Are you using the donor engine or something else?

An ecoboost in a c type? It would drive the purists mad 

Looking forward to seeing this progress.

[CL290005]

No it's the 4.2 straight 6 I want it to look authentic well as much as possible you won't fool the jaguar purists 

I've started a blog on it not sure if it's better to do a blog or a threading I will update it to where I am
