Jaguar E-Type - all 6-cylinder - LH Rear Lower Valance - SECTION

          This is the FORWARD SECTION of a LH Rear Lower Valance panel for the Series 1 E-Type.  This panel is patterned after an original Series 1 E-Type, but is the same on all 6-cylinder cars - Series 1, 1.5, and 2.  It is correct in every dimension - including the thickness, the location and angles of the bends and flanges, and curvature.  We recently went to GREAT LENGTHS to make sure that these panels are EXACT - I had patterned this last year, but out of 7 shells in the shop at that time, all 7 were different!  Recently, we took in a '68 OTS that was untouched in these panels, and also got hold of an original NOS replacement panel - so we refined the pattern, and we KNOW it's correct now - and they are fitting the shells beautifully! 


       This section is approx. 4.5 inches wide behind the wheel, and goes from the bumper seam, all the way down and under to the boot floor seam.  We find that this is PLENTY of material to repair even the WORST rust we see in this area.  We recommend fitting this panel, and trimming it down to use as little of the panel as possible - usually, 2 inches behind the wheel is just about right.  Repairing the rear lower valance in this way is often a much better option that replacing it entirely - which requires the opening of leaded seams in the rear of the boot panel.  This panel is 100% CORRECT in it's shape, costs less than the complete lower valance, and is SUBSTANTIALLY less work to install!


          NOTE:  We also have the rear "wall" of the inner wheelhouse available - the bottom edges of it usually rust where it meets the rear lower valance - see our other auctions.

          

          MORE ACCURATE than anything else out there!  

These panels are just "kind of the right shape" when supplied by other manufacturers - the edge of the wheel arch swings forward as it goes down, and it looks weird...  This panel is delivered in fresh, bare steel, ready for the quality primer and paint of your choice - you will not have to spend time stripping off the low-quality, black "shipping primer" that some other manufacturers use...

See our other auctions - MANY panels are available for E-Type Shells and Bonnets!

MONOCOQUE METALWORKS

 

            Monocoque Metalworks  is a fabrication shop located in Northeastern Maryland that specializes in Jaguar E-Type (XKE) body shell restoration.  If you are restoring your E-Type, the best place to start is a rock-solid bodyshell (or tub), and we can help!  We offer services ranging from the fabrication of a single panel to the construction of an entirely NEW bodyshell!

 

            FABRICATION AND SHIPPING OF ORIGINAL OR CUSTOM BODY PANELS – we have patterns and examples of nearly every E-Type panel and can fabricate any panel you need for your restoration.  Before you spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on Martin Robey panels that may or may not fit properly, give us a try!  OR, call us as the ONLY supplier of many of the smaller, internal panels that Martin Robey doesn’t supply (or lists in their catalog but don’t actually produce…)  Want some extra holes punched? – or some original holes not included? – or the panel produced in a heavier gauge? - no problem!

 

            COMPLETE RESTORATION OF YOUR TUB – we will take in your monocoque bodyshell, strip it down to bare metal, and replace all damaged or rusted panels using the proper techniques.  Your shell will be returned to you in primer, dead straight, rock-solid, safe, and EXACTLY as it left the factory.

 

            TUB EXCHANGE – looking to save time?  Exchange your existing monocoque bodyshell for one of our already restored shells (subject to availability).  You’ll arrive at the shop, unload your shell, and load up a completely restored, PERFECT shell and be back on your way in a few hours!  With this service, we can cut your project time down by YEARS!  Plus, you can exchange one body style for another – drop off a Coupe or 2+2 shell and take home a roadster!

 

            TUB MODIFICATION – we can “beef up” your tub with heavier gauge components for vintage racing, or add complete sub-frames, roll bars or cages.  If you can imagine it, we can fabricate it!

 

            FABRICATION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW TUB – we can build you an entire floor assembly with sills, gussets, tunnel, etc. – a complete cowl/firewall assembly – or an entirely NEW bodyshell!

 

            COMPONENT RESTORATION – We will happily restore any piece you care to ship us and return it to you in as-new condition.  This includes, but is not limited to: bonnet components, heaters, door shells, decklids, coupe hatches, etc.

 

            E-Type restoration is a labor of love at Monocoque Metalworks!  The shop is outfitted with INDUSTRIAL GRADE MACHINES – many of which are vintage machines themselves – carefully restored and modified with the correct tooling to produce perfect E-Type panels.  As a result, you will be amazed by the crisp cuts, straight bends, and perfect holes found on our panels!  We have forming capabilities that include shearing, braking, rolling, wire-edging, bead-rolling, notching and punching – in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel - up to and including 16-gauge (.060) or beyond.  We utilize a combination of MIG, TIG, Spot, and Plug welding to ensure that your car is assembled with factory-like originality, coupled with strength and safety you can depend on!

 

            Over 25 years of automotive restoration experience, specializing in E-Types.  My first car was a 3.8 roadster, and I have driven, raced, wrecked, and restored these cars ever since.  I know the cars intimately, and can provide references attesting to that fact.  However, restoring the E-Type’s monocoque shell has always been my true passion!  Let me indulge myself on your project – you will not find a more experienced and enthusiastic partner for your restoration!

 

            BOOK your complete shell restoration NOW!  We are busy with multiple E-Type shells and bonnets all the time, and spots book up quickly - so don't wait to call!  We have restorable Series 1 and 2, Coupe, roadster and 2+2 tubs with straight roofs and quarters in stock - plus a large selection of doors, decklids, hatches, hinges, bonnet pieces, etc.  Don’t wait until your car is all stripped down – call now and we’ll start building a solid tub TODAY and exchange it for yours when it is ready!

                 

            Located just outside of Newark, DE, with easy access to I-95.  No job is too big or too small!  Give us a ring and let’s discuss your project – whether it’s one panel or the restoration of an entire body shell, we can handle it – with the attention to detail and ENTHUSIASM you’re looking for!

Mitsubishi Concept-CX sketches

Mon, 30 Jul 2007

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 30 July 2007 10:23 What’s that, a Lancer hatch? Not quite, though the front does have a strong resemblance to the four-door Lancer that will land in the UK at the start of 2008. Dubbed Concept-cX, this, show car points to Mitsubishi's possible future compact crossover in the mould of the Nissan Qashqai.

Audi Q5 (2008) unveiled

Sat, 19 Apr 2008

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 19 April 2008 12:00 A decade after rival BMW, Audi is finally joining the mid-sized SUV party. The new Q5, unveiled at this weekend's Beijing motor show, is Ingolstadt's answer to its hometown rival the X3, and is based on the oily bits from the A4. Which speaks volumes about its intent.Unsurprisingly, that means it's aimed squarely at on-road performance, where it will shuttle five occupants around in - you'd imagine - saloon car comfort.
