Jaguar E-Type - Series 1, 1.5, & 2 - all 6-cylinder cars - LH Bonnet Mudshield
This is a LH mudshield that forms the rear of the wheelhouse for all 6-cylinder E-Type bonnets – Jaguar Part # BD16382. This panel is patterned after MANY original E-Type bonnets - we go to great lengths to make sure our patterns are correct - because we don\'t just sell E-Type parts, we use them ourselves to rebuild LOTS of E-Type bonnets here at the shop! It is correct in every dimension - including the thickness, the location and angles of the bends and flanges, and the size, shape, and placement of the holes, and the wired edge. 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...
I have not offered this panel in the past because I was unable to reproduce it properly and offer it at a cost competitive with the \"other guys\"... However, a customer recently brought in one of the \"other guys\" panels, and it was a TRAIN WRECK! They are making this panel out of a metal gauge that is much too thin, and also using wire in the bottom wired edge that is MUCH too small in diameter. This makes the panel \"wrinkly\" - especially around the edges - which will really show up badly when it is painted in gloss finish paint. PLUS - the wired edge is obviously MUCH smaller than the original panel. This all results in a piece that SCREAMS low-quality reproduction. It is also bathed in low-quality black primer - as usual... SO - our piece costs more, but it\'s worth every penny of it. You can get this panel a little cheaper, and believe me, you\'re going to be getting what you paid for... When you buy ours, you\'re getting a handmade panel that is as correct as it can possibly be made - when painted and installed as part of your restored bonnet, it is a dead ringer for the real thing - ALL of our panels are!
Bonnet restorations are a specialty in our shop!
A properly restored original E-Type bonnet is a better solution than the reproductions currently available - or unavailable, which is usually the case - especially with the Series 2 and 3 bonnets. We use expert craftsmanship to reshape and restore original bonnets to BETTER THAN \"factory fresh\" condition - with every nook and cranny stripped bare and coated with modern, quality self-etching primer. Give us a ring to discuss the restoration of your bonnet, or let us build you a bonnet from our large stock of original panels, and new fabricated components. Whether it\'s cancerous rust, major crash damage, or BOTH, we can rebuild it! Check out our \"blogs\" for hundreds of photos of bonnets being restored in our shop - our metal-shaping skills will astound you!

We rescue these E-Types from being parted out or scrapped, and bring them back to our warehouse, where they are combined with parts and pieces from our large stock of original parts to be a complete project car - ready for a new home!• Our E-Type Projects are RESTORABLE! - Too often, we see E-type projects being offered that are, quite literally, unrestorable… Many times, cars that have been burned, wrecked, or are rotted beyond the point that is economically feasible to repair are sold to an overly optimistic restorer, only to have their dreams (and their bank account) shattered - when they find out they have purchased little more than a title… Here, we make sure you KNOW what you are getting - AND what you are GETTING INTO!• Our E-Type Projects are COMPLETE and CORRECT! - Like everything else we do, rescuing orphaned E-Types is a labor of love, NOT a \"get rich quick scheme\"… Therefore, we work hard to make sure our project cars have the proper pieces for their Year, Series, and Model.
