This side is obviously in need of a lot of work before it will be roadworthy again.

An XK-120 as it arrived from its Hawaii-based owner. As can be seen, it's in serious need of restoration, a lot of body filler had been used, and the car is missing its doors, glass and most of its chrome. Mechanically it was in about the same condition.

The shops of XKs UNLIMITED performed a complete frame-off restoration on this one, including a list of upgrades.

Except for the missing door, this side looked pretty good.

• Front disc brake conversion
• Updated brake master cylinder
• Alternator upgrade
• 5-Speed conversion
• Aluminum flywheel
• Complete engine overhaul
• Ported & polished head with big-valve upgrade
• Balanced & blueprinted engine
• HD-8 2" SU Carbs
• New sea-foam green paint
• Suede green leather interior
• Louvered bonnet

With the body filler striped away you can see the extent of the rust damage on the right front.

The new aluminum door and right front fender build-up is shown.

The "rough" condition under the bonnet upon arrival.

The differences between this and the photo to the left are dramatic, as is the performance of this new overhaul.

Finished and ready for the customer to take delivery of his "new" Jaguar XK 120 Roadster. Jolly Good Show!
