Jaguar S-Type Restoration [57] FRONT SUSPENSION Teardown (2) Spring Time

Restoring my 2003 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 V8 Sport. On day 57 of this rebuild (December 6, 2020), after having detached the front suspension components last time already, I manage to separate the gas strut/ spring & the brake disc/ caliper assemblies. 🔔 Every day I´m working on this restoration is summarized in a separate video.

In 2013, some expensive repairs would have been necessary to pass the annual inspection mandatory here in Austria. I decided against investing money and instead went for another car, my 2007 Mercedes-Benz E500 4matic. ⏯ The E-Class (W211) related playlist:    • Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) Maintenance &...   Nevertheless I kept the Jaguar and promised myself that some day I would attempt a full rebuild. The time had come on August 31, 2019. After my S-Type had been abandoned for over 6 years, I rented a garage and ever since try to work at least once a week on this car restoration project. The disassembly/ rebuild is done by myself without any professional support. To sort of proof that a "paper pusher" (as I am) can achieve this alone, I decided against just uploading a compilation of the most exciting moments or interim results, but instead try to get the whole process on camera, although using time lapse to keep it more or less endurable for you, my viewers. Once the project is accomplished (I sincerely hope, it will be one day...), this video series may serve as a blueprint for restoring a Jaguar S-Type on your own. ⚠ Disclaimer -------------------------------------------------- My content ist for entertainment only an doesn´t pursue educational purposes.
