Restoration has started, removing headlining

Head lining (the sky), the trunk cover (parcel shelf) (hoedenplank), new card board. The big project has started.
Opening a 40 year old Jag, just brings surprises, I try to look through the 'chaos' and keep my big picture.

New headlining has been order by the Jag parts supplier: SNG Barrat. New headlining, and glue: 150 EUR. Delivered at home.

But first as always: removing the old parts. Easy it seems, but nothing is less-true. All headlining parts are fitted with small clips, just a flat screw-driver behind, and you are done.

Finally home

Fresh from painting, there she is in her new garage box. Paul Soret in Hoeilaart has just done a terrific job. 

The steering wheel, the horn, quick re-build.

The horn was not working, some research showed, the internal connector in the steeringwheel was not connecting, funny enough this is one of the few parts of the jag, that cannot be dissembled.

Time for a new coat, the second layer

Time for a new coat, the first part

There she is, getting the first layer, stitching the uneven parts in the paint. In the safe hands of Paul Soret in Hoeilaart. Which appears to be a great choice, he is the(!) expert in Jag's in Belgium. Restoring, and arranging new parts. He himself worked for more than 12 years on Jag's.

Everything gone from the crash.

The new second hand bonnet is completely flattened.

A good friend, Dirco, joins the process.

My Green Lady, ready for a paintjob

Car wash, the first time!

For the first time, she's going through the car wash. Now hope she stays dry (from the inside).
