Well, I have my IRS almost ready to re-install onto the Jag! Just finished up installing the new shocks tonight and have everything pretty well buttoned up. Just need to get the rear brake calipers rebuilt and re-installed! It won't be too long now and I'll finally have the beast rolling on its wheels for the first time in years! I can't wait!

Basil, that looks like one heck of a nice garage......You did a great job of organising it. Wanna come round and do mine? Free sandwiches and brewskis?

Thanks. If only there were some small chance of it looking like that for more than a week! It took 4 days to clean it up but will only take one afternoon to mess it up again

If you mean the subframe of the car, there isn't one - its a monocoque(sp?) It does had a square-tubed set attached to the firewall where the engine goes, which was all painted. If you mean the IRS, all of the parts that were painted originally, are now powdercoated (Gloss Black, except the axel shafts and A0arms which are satin black.)

Its just standard undercoating, but has been painted to match the rest of the car.
