I’m a little late in creating this blog, I get that. Honestly, I hesitated because I’m altering a car in a way that a purist of the brand would disapprove of. However as I talk about this project to others in passing it seems counterintuitive to share the same pictures and stories over and over; I may as well have a location dedicated to that.
So here it is.
This is the journey of taking a 1986 Jaguar XJS and transforming it from a V12 gas thirsty mechanical beast to an electric cruiser.
“But Kris, that’s a V12, you can’t do that to a classic” Yeah. I can. Here’s the thing…this car hasn’t driven in over 15 years. I parked it once I discovered fuel was leaking out of the gas tank that was mounted IN THE TRUNK. And although it has been garaged this whole time, I’ve had issues with mice getting into the engine bay and doing mice things.
So, here’s an opportunity to take a vehicle that hasn’t seen the roads in a lifetime and make a nice Sunday cruiser out of it that doesn’t leak all the fluids.
I have comments disabled as I don’t want to deal with WordPress spam. Feel free to email me at kris (at) hainkm (dot) com.
Enjoy the journey.
