Re: My 86 build
I’ve had my Dads Jag for about a week. Did quite a bit of work on it.
1) reupholstered the headliner 2) repaired the door panel that had the corner broken 3) did some leather crack repair on the seats 4) detailed the entire interior

Re: My 86 build
Here are the pics for the seat repair. The first 2 pics show the condition that the seats were in. There was a really bad wear spot on the drivers seat back area, as you slide into the seat. All the seats were repaired with Leather Crack Filler and then dyed. I also used a Leather Rejuvenator after the dye process, and when the dye was completely dry.
The last 3 pics are AFTER pics.

Re: My 86 build
Wow!!!! That all looks GREAT! To think that I’m chicken about pulling the headliner out of mine is kinda ridiculous after imagining what was involved in pulling the Jag one.

Re: My 86 build
I’m really hoping to get Big Red out more, maybe hit a few local car shows. I’m finally getting caught up with a lot of stuff that has been needing & taking most of my time. One, was the grass. I not only mow mine, but several of my neighbors. And with all the non-stop rain we have been having the last several months, it’s been a challenge.

Our truck headliners are a breeze, compared to doing a car. Cleaning the old foam off, is really most of the work.

Re: My 86 build
Very nice job! It's pretty amazing what you were able to do with the seats from what I can see in the pictures.

Re: My 86 build
Another little project I did for my Dad’s Jag, was his center console. His was broke and the PO had glued the cup holder lid shut. I found him a perfect condition one, in a salvage yard. Only problem, it was the wrong color. So it got re-dyed. It turn out great! The last photo, is with the re-dyed console installed. The damaged console is laying on the seat.

Re: My 86 build
Last night was my towns local Car Show, Bellefontaine’s Hot Summer Nights. My brother came up also, so we parked together. We didn’t participate in the parade, which all the cars in the show drive into town from the fairgrounds, where they all line up. Some of us just come into town and parked. The parade took almost an hour. I did the parade once, and Big Red didn’t like it at all
![]() I’m the one with the Chevrolet shirt. My girlfriend is next to me. On the end, is one of my best friends from work, she came out to sit with us.

Re: My 86 build
I wanted my Dad to put his 96 Jaguar in the show too, you know, have a family affair of it. But couldn’t talk Mom into it, she’s so jealous of his car
![]() They did come up and stay the night before, Dad & I got the Jag all cleaned up, just in case she would change her mind. I should have taken a photo after we got her all spiffied up. This photo is right after he bought it, while they were still Florida. It looked good, he probably would have won a trophy.

Re: My 86 build
Spent today dyeing some interior parts, the headliner trim and visors. Charcoal is the color.
Also did some Burgundy seat garnishes.

Re: My 86 build
Well it’s official, I sold my bench seat and Door Panels to a buddy of mine. He just bought an 87 and he’s freshening up the interior. I also found him a pretty decent dash pad in Michigan. I went up and got it for him, and also brought home a couple of seat cores. The dash pad only had a few cracks on the ends, and I got those filled for him. All he had to do is freshen it up with dye. It’s charcoal and that’s the color he needed.

Re: My 86 build
So since my seat and Door Panels are sold, it’s time to get busy on building myself a restored bench seat.

Re: My 86 build
It took about 4 yrs to find myself OEM Charcoal seatbelts. So I spent a day cleaning them up and freshening the plastic up with dye. So out with the aftermarket belts, and I’ll be installing these.

Re: My 86 build
Working on my seat today. Frames restored, with the new grid & springs. I’m using an original foam. I found an excellent condition foam in my stash! I was going to use a new foam, but since I have this one, I’ll use it. Almost ready for the cover!!

Re: My 86 build
Well the seat and door panels are gone. I still need to remove the seat belts. I also have the lower door panel carpet out. I have new chrome strips to add to the top of those. Also going to dye the vents, charcoal. Big Red is in the garage for the winter, so it’s time to get started.

Re: My 86 build
Damn them seats look great! You should design your own “buildsheet” for them and stuff em halfway inside the foam between that and the grid!
