The Story of my V12 XK120 FHC,,,, start to finish~

This was by far the hardest project I have ever done from the frame up! I started with a rusty bare body. It was completely rebuilt with extra head room and leg room. Since I built a custom tube frame for it that was much lower than stock I could lower the floors 1 1/2". The frame uses all E Type suspension and R&P steering with power assist. Brake are four wheel vented disc brakes with racing calipers.
Motor is a 6 liter Jaguar V12 motor with a complete high performance rebuild with 6 two barrel Weber carbs. Motor puts out about 400hp. 
The door were remade completely of steel and aluminum with no wood so they are much sturdier. They also feature electric windows.
There where countless hours of fabrication, fitment and re-fitment to make things work and fit..  I am pleased with the out come but I will NEVER build another one like it!! :)
