The V12 E engine bay that was thick with underseal is starting to look a bit smarter, not concours but how much can you justify to clean up an engine bay. 
E type V12 came in for some remedial work but when mentioned we could and got the go ahead to remove all the disgusting underseal off the bulkhead and engine frames the reason for covering it all up was revealed. So one damaged frame removed and a quick tidy up and paint of the remaining underbonnet and she's going back together again.It certainly looks a whole lot better. 
The Eagle E type going back together with it's new picture frame fitted and a bit of tidying up as this car is used pretty regularly hence it gets dirty. A new bespoke aluminium radiator is due in a day or two and then the bonnet can go back on. Everything is much easier while it is off !  1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2, 2+2 AUTO |

V12 E Type engine apart for camshafts, manifolds and Weber's so seems only right to clean up everything while you can get to it. So blasted, painted and polished first camcover. Next the head etc.

Where there was once lots of messy wires and pipes, now there is not. Ash has been doing a bit of tidying on the Race E Type.
S1 3.8 E Type back together having had the carbs off to renew some leaky core plugs. While they were off we gave them and the engine bay a bit of a clean but I happen to know the new owner is a bit of a hands on type so he can now tinker to his hearts delight.
Looking how an E Type should ( dirty and used) but didn't miss a beat on the trip home. Could be for sale before, during or after restoration .
