Project Car Updates

A lot has been happening on the Hundred Dollar Healey project and I also wanted to introduce our Jaguar XK8 Race/Drift car that we have recently picked up. Check out the video below for more on each car but here is the basic run down.

The Hundred Dollar Healey is getting prepped for paint, in order to do that we had to get some welding done on the body to fill in old holes from accessories fuel door access that had been drilled over the years. Jordan made short work of that and now it is time for final bodywork and paint.

The Jaguar XK8 is getting stripped of the few remaining parts and is going on a serious diet to make it light and nimble. We hope to take it to Mexico for the Rally Historico and do some local drifting events. The Jag will be powered by non-Jaguar power so what should we go with? LS? RB26? 2JZ? let me know in the comments down below.

Also be sure to like, comment, and subscribe on YouTube for more our new build series starting in January 2018.
