@@WatchJRGo it's funny how you need a "special tool" for a old Pontiac engine timing chain style. This is the same setup for timing as a 94' Grand Am (the one with the intake at the bottom of the engine), and uses the same tool.

I’d say it was always JR’s plan to fix it and he probably wanted it done quickly so scheduled Dana to help him. He was probably just saying he was done with it to build up the suspense and get the comments section going pending scheduling it at the other shop? After all he could have opened his garage door, pushed it back a bit, borrowed the tools and completed the job himself if he thought he could work through it quickly enough!

That Jag is a gem. Thank you, Dana and the guys for bringing it back to life. Please don't lower it or replace the original wheels, keep it original.

Thanks for posting this video. I am the owner of a 99 XJ8 (Champagne metallic, matching leather) that unfortunately was taken to an unscrupulous mechanic for code diagnostic work and had to be flatbedded home. The car wouldn't start when I went to pick it up. He explained that it needed a whole new engine and that he just so happened to specialize in engine replacement! The poor Jag has been sitting in my driveway now, forlorn, for 4 years.

I know it’s not the same, but glad to see you back in your garage where it all started. And I have a feeling you’re gonna come back better than ever. It’s humble re-beginnings!

Oddly this series really grabbed me.. it was fun seeing it come back to life

So pleased you gave the old lady some care and attention to have her running again, it wasn't her fault she was abused, neglected and abandoned 16 years ago. From the UK.

Yay the jag lives , I knew you wouldn't let it go without doing the job properly, well done JR 👏 👍 😀

This is what and why we love your content Jr. because you take the most difficult problems and explain them to your audience in a manner that everyone can understand and comprehend. This is what other channels are missing. Keep this content coming. Great work!

She sounds soooo good! Congratulations JR! Thanks for not giving up on her. I bet with a detail, it'll look like new again.

So happy you stuck with the Jag, there is just something about them, they are one of the few cars that still have a personality :)

Great to see and I genuinely believed this one was consigned to history. It'll be interesting to hear how it runs once its done a few miles. Congratulations on getting it running!

We’re invested in the Jaaaaaaaaaaaag! This thing coming back to life was actually quite amazing to watch. Bizarre, but amazing. I had to rewatch it chug itself back to life. That’s something I’ve never seen - car chugging on it’s own like that willingly.

Man, Witchita is amazing.. you have more parts, specialists, cars than I could ever dream about in San Jose.. Maybe I should move..

I love that era of jags

Oh I absolutely love that Jag! So happy she’s alive again - much kudos to proper techs like Dana. All she needs a good run and fresh gas now - an I-talian Tune Up, some Berryman’s B12 and feed her the onions!! Really great move fixing her and not giving up JR!

Good job, i knew you would sort it out, because it's rare for you to throw in the towel. I do like it when you revive something that someone else has cobbled up, makes it gritty. Not everyone can diagnose that well, takes a lot of skill really. I like a challenge myself, so good on you. G-d bless.

I’d throw some Restore in the oil for compression loss. Best additive that I’ve ever used. Some fresh gas and drive that Jag for an hour or so. Anyways great that you decided to push on. Once that car gets a good detail and hoping just a couple more tweaks and it’s gonna be a beautiful runner.

F**k yeah dude! your pushed through and got this old thing running. was alot of work for one of these, but you earned yourself a loyal viewer (probably a bunch of us). honestly thought you were done with it but the fact you kept going shows alot about you and what you do. You should get a Land Rover Disco 1 and bring it back to factory as much as you can :P bet it would get some decent views and love

Much better than an LS swap. Congrats. Great series.

I must admit, I never expected to hear this one run. Right on JR!

When you first saw the timing was off and you just closed it up - I sort of cried inside. I am so glad you still tried to fix it - and got it to run. Congrats!

Great job everyone involved in getting the Jag running again. I think some heat cycles, and about 50 miles driving might clear up some little issues.

I would keep that car after it's running, that's a really classy car. That styling is timeless. You have someone close that knows how to work on jags, that's a big help. It'll probably take a while to bring it back to normal after sitting all those years, but probably still worth it.

What a pleasure to watch and work with properly trained techs. We've all been there....

This is so awesome! Thank you to Dana and your whole crew, JR!

Yes! It lives again, watching now, good job😎

Winners never quit. You done good, very proud of you.

Bet you're glad now you didn't scrap it. On some UK cars you need a specialist who knows the ins and outs of a particular make. Dana is one such person..years of training and experience. So pleased to this this cat run again.

One reasons i like this channel, just a real guy doing real things , showing that having good friends and connections is sometimes a huge life saver and help. Dont burn bridges people... we all need somebody sometime

Ayyyy, always pushing out these great videos. Thanks man

So happy you kept working on this beauty, I love this model of jag and she looks great and can't wait to see it clean and running good. I wish I had an old jag like that!

Absolutly love watching Dana work. He was the guy I tool my Boxster to before Johnny went independent.

You legend. Never give up. I think that’s the great thing about your channel.

Hitting it out of the park with the content at the moment jr! My favourite car youtuber at the moment. Love that you are back to fixing old cars and not the shop. Still miss the old beater honda days but hey bentleys and jags are always entertaining!

You are the man! Thanks to Dana as well and thank you for not giving up on it

Thanks for stepping up man. This video really makes me, and I’m sure many of your subscribers very happy. Awesome man!

It's always great to see a specialized tech come in clutch and save the day on the unsaveables! Thanks JR!

Thanks for not giving up on this one. Even though it's not worth much it's too nice to junk.

Thank you for paying attention to your viewers, it lets us know you really care about what we think

thanks for the follow through brother we really appreciate it!!!!

it's great seeing the Jag coming back to life. Great work! Kudos to the team.

Glad to see you stuck at it and timed it. Much more satisfying! Well done.

Love that you out passion into these projects. Glad Dana was there to help, but would love see you struggle and learn yourself too! That's what we're doing out here!

I'm so glad you're working on the Jag!!

That's a really nice Jag now that it runs. With 20:20 hindsight, it was worth the effort.

you gotta do more content on this Jag. what a unique car. Dana is fabulous. so glad you persisted with this vehicle !

Thank you so much as an owner of 2 of these awesome cars it truly saddened me when you was going to give up on her. I know they are expensive to repair and maintain but one day these cars will be highly sought after and you're already getting so much car for so little money. Thank you for saving this beauty.

Congratulations, I'm glad you didn't give up on the Jag. Nice job boys

You are such a good mechanic wow you got the jag going .good job.

I’m so happy to see it run! Let’s see some driving next and WOT!👍👍

I still drive my 2002 Jaguar XJR that was abandoned at the dealership parking lot, I had to restored and it is not perfect but it is an amazing car! Good job on restoring your Jag JR!

Great job! This car really deserves to be back on the road!

Congratulations on the Jag, Great work, Engine sounds very good and thankfully the valves are good.

Been waiting all day for this episode

Awesome to see it run again! Glad that you kept working on it.

JR this is what keeps me coming back. You are by far my favorite channel. Thanks for finishing your projects. I know we all wanted to see this one saved!

Love that you brought the jag back to life.

So glad you persevered with this XJ8. Dana is a very cool guy. Enjoyed watching him work his magic on this car.

The videos on the Jag and Bentley are great. Fixing cars that others could not get running is great content. Keep the cheap car repair coming.

I am so happy you guys brought it back. This may be my favorite car you've done to date. #SavedTheCat

It's alive! Thank you JR

Very cool. Happy you were able to bring it back to life. Hope to see you drive it around “the block” before you send it down the road. Either way, glad you gave it another chance.

Great video, love to see these old jags that deserve another life bought back from the brink. This old car would make a great daily driver.

So cool to see the Jag running!! I completely understand why you didn’t want to get into that, but glad ya did!!

Ahhh....finally, its so fulfilling to see it finally running fairly good !!

Perseverance, and never give up! Well done. Congrats

Such a beautiful Jag! I am so glad you got it running! I love my 93!

Wooo. Glad you kept at it

Glad to see the old Jag running. Great job JR and Dana

Well done, i really was gutted when you said that you were given up on the jaguar especially with the low mileage and it is in great condition body wise, i thank you sir for saving my favourite car excellent

Good effort produces good results. It’s good to have friends like Dana that have the expertise to do a job like this. It’s a wonderful old luxury car that has been given another chance at life. I hope that you drive it for a while and enjoy it.

jags = great for Dana, premium work rates guaranteed for life, and guaranteed content for the channel

You’re smashing KZread. So many videos lately. Bentley looks like it’s going to be a long journey.

Brilliant job 👍 good to hear it spring into life.

Congratulations! So glad to see you didn't give up on it and just sell it off as is. There are so many out there that take on projects that they don't have the skill set or patience to finish and end up failing time and time again. No names mentioned but let's just say when you can pull off a win like this without endless money infusions from a rich stepmother, it just shows who the real pro is here.

Thanks you thank you thank you for not giving up! 😀😀 Great content for us but appreciate its frustrating at the moment for you 👍

Happy to see it getting fixed! These old Jags really deserve it, such cool cars and too many have ended at the junkyard

Great to see Dana in this feature. Glad you were able to get this neat car going!

Dude thanks for not giving up on the jag! Love it!

JR , your Jag tech Dana is the man! It’s good to have friends like that helping you save a car that’s worth saving. The new ones aren’t doing it for me and not impressed anymore by them but I still can’t stop looking at the one you have and say damn should’ve gotten one back in the day when I had the chance. Maybe after watching you guys I’ll get lucky and find one on the east coast that isn’t a rusted out sh$t box and is worth saving. Hope you do one more video and show it’s first drive!!! Fingers crossed 🤞. Great job guys 👍
