Hi Chuck I have really enjoyed following this story of archeology. Brilliant work. I always dreamed of finding and E type for restoration but now I am convinced this is a professional job and so important for our British motor industry history. I hope that you will find time to complete this project and get the motor purring........

Great videos! People today don't realize that when E-Types were in production the only place to get parts and often service was at the Jaguar dealers and the prices were astronomical ! I bought a used 63 in the mid-70's for $900. It had some rust and needed a lot of little things. I used to work on my own British sports cars, but just getting the parts was prohibitive and where I lived there weren't any independent garages that I was aware of at the time. I sold that car quickly, feeling I was in over my head. Shortly afterward I discovered a wonderful mechanic who loved British cars and charged reasonable prices. He could have fixed the problems my car had reasonably. This sticker shock on replacing the radiator tank might be why the owner mothballed your car. At the time, I'll bet that tank cost at least $250 at the time which was a lot of money then. We saw that he had tried to repair it once to avoid the cost. Ironically most of the parts are available today at modest prices.

Great attention to detail as always.

Chuck . I'm going to have a VERY close look at my header tank !!!

Nice. I’ll be round later for a cup of tea and give you a hand getting those parts up onto the shelves. I wish ….. !

Hi Chuck, I’ve use similar stuff in Australia and it does a great job but does need some warmth to work rapidly. You’ll find the tan coating is calcium and mineral deposits similar to what you get in urns and kettles. Try a kettle cleaner to get rid of that .

Hey Chuck. Another great video on etype s. Moss motors has a article on how the etype cooling system works and about how the header tank works. It's called Etype cooling and overheating. I suggest you read it. Thanks for the great videos.

Hi Chuck . Just checking in to see you 're OK . Take care

Have a great Thanksgiving Chuck.

Header tank restoration? Nicely done. Martin Robey sell an all-brass header tank for $$$. Could that think tan build up in the cooling system be stop leak?

Try some molasses 10 parts water to 1 part , leave soaking for a week. works a treat, use the old stuffed one as test.

Is there an episode 10 where the engine is started etc?

I have a new old stock header tank.
