This is now the story up to date. The Mustang is shorter than the Jag so the propshaft has been shortened accordingly. Car currently is stripped back down so that the final welding/tidying up and stitching together with the Jag can be finished. Next stage is to treat/seal and paint the underneath, wheel arches and engine bay to then send to paint. Only real hold up at the moment is money!!
Thanks for looking/reading, I will update when I have more news to share!

Thanks Omega. A great unit that is shared with my brothers and a group of friends, has been rented for a long time but may be coming to an end soon as the owner is looking to sell up. Potential to stay which would be ideal but on the lookout for somewhere as back up. Couple of pics of my brothers Alfas.

Loving the '71! what an awesome car, made even better by the unusual engine choice. Top work.

Thanks! The straight six Mustangs are over looked and no reason I can not get a decent bit of power going this route.

Bit late now but there was a breakers up in Scotland advertising breaking 2 Aussie AU Falcons most of last year on ebay......
Interesting project though, looks like it had suffered even with being dry stored. Are you going RHD?

My goodness look how that progressed! Whenever I hear the term "it's got a jag rear end" I will think "nope" and think of your car. Spot on.

Dodge, yes going with RHD as everything is there from the Jag to make it an easy conversion. Had found a company down south that had some Falcon AU engines just after I bought the first donor! Happy with the way the choice has turned out though, only thing with the Falcon engines is they are much easier to tune for big HP.

this is such a great way to do things, having off the shelf Jag parts for service items will be much easier than US sourced parts too.

Epic project. Great workmanship too. I can't help but think it would have been easier to cut the bodies of both cars and put the Mustang shell on the Jag floorpan. But hindsight is a wonderful thing. Keep up the good work.
