Having grown up around British sports cars, Faruk you did an amazing job on this lightweight E. I'm actually surprised that you Larry were able to pick up on the fact that this is a 2+2. As Faruk mentioned, the proportions of the wilder body really help to hide the bulberous butt on the original car vs the very pretty design of the coupe's. It's gorgeous.

Man,that car is such a stunner,would never have looked at one twice,but wow.

Great use of a 2+2, they cost double to restore and are worth less than half as much. Thanks for sharing.

That’s wheelbase.. 😮‍💨

Fantastic build! Definitely want to see more

that car is so cool... a great engine with one of the coolest bodys

Jaguar should reproduce it with all the modern specs. ❤

Clean yet powerful. You gotta drive this

amazing looking car

Faruk is a really cool guy. Have met him a few times around Sonoma Raceway... humble and friendly.

Amazing machine

It's the best 2+2 E-type I've ever seen! Really, really nice.

This doesn't scream "widebody" - it just looks right. To pull this off on such an iconic classic car is not easy... 😎🤟

beautiful car buddy! what color are those wheels? love it😍

Tastefully done, looks great. If I see anyone hate on this for being "disrespectful to the car", please stop acting like a morron and watch the video. The work quality alone and attention to detail does justice to everything early Jaguars stood for. Marvelous work.

@@insector2093well the Toyota 2000GT was heavily influenced by the Jag. ITBs would be sick. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

I like most of this build, in fact most of it apart from the instrumentation. Would have been nice to run a digital stepper tach and speedometer off the can-bus, 100mm clocks with physical needles, fully programmable. It would have been a really nice touch to have analogue physical dimmers by incorporating variable ND filters. Digidash is just lazy imo and looks out of place.

Now this is what I talking about 🎉

Go Faruk!!!

Japuar xjz?

I had to turn the sound off when the interviewer said AAHhhhhh for the 20th time, that was like 3 minutes into the video, would be a good idea to have the builder describing his work without any other person speaking,

Toyota still makes the 2jz long blocks. I'm just not going to tell you how to get one though 😂

That thumbnail😅. Immediately thought of Jessie

Larry, you know my restomod Z, still needs a peeper sticker... Now it's 2024.... Larry always brings the Cars, Car Guys, want to see, he NEVER ,misses! Still need a video of Orange Bang, FuguZ, Doc...in the canyons

Crime de lèse majesté, quitte a changer le moteur , un moteur jaguar AJ6 4l aurait meilleure mine pour ce bitza.

This Jag has been my desktop wallpaper at work since the first time I laid eyes on it. It stole my heart immediately!

Pick'n'pull has 1/2 off days for motors, he should had pulled one from a lexus sc300/gs300 and should have built it that way. Either way he did a good basic jz build with a nice jag body😎😉

I 💞 those rims ❤

Eine Ikone wurde zerstört. Unverständnis auf ganze Linie

You really have to know your onions if you want to modify the Etype. It was so advanced at the time. They were years ahead of everyone else. Main reason that Jaguar snapped up all the best engineers after the war from the aerospace industry who used there knowledge to develop there cars. It was engineered in such a way that every panel of the car was essential, to come together making the car unbelievably rigid using such lightweight materials. Genius design for its day with disc brakes all round. Still a safe car today with the modern crash structure, which was by design, that was no accident. The straight six engine was a masterpiece, which jaguar used right upto the 90’s.

Put in an original motor. Jeez

The 2+2 was already awkward looking but this demonstrates that it had not yet achieved peak awkward. Neat craftsmanship but a really goofy looking base platform.

Respect your building skills but as a purist gearhead n old school. I'd get that need TLC and put it back completely stock.

That's just wrong.

Nice innovate job: however the Jag was plain astonishing when it came out in the early 60s and the engine straight six is something even the Italian engine makers should bow down to-- even now. Again, nice try.

Stop dong stuff like this.

Monstrosity

I love E-types and 2JZ (had a Supra in the 90s, and sold it to buy an Eagle E-Type). This combination is the worst-looking piece of crap I've ever seen though. The dechromed look works on some cars (my E39M5 for instance) but not this. Nor do the fender flares. Seriously, if anyone were ever jailed for a crime against a classic car I'd vote it be this guy.

blasphelicious

It looks messed up without the bumpers. 👎

Not a purist, just got to know what you’re doing with this special car and he’s made it a death trap. Looks like a half arsed rush job sorry. Not thought it through.
