Donor Car

The AK kit requires donor parts from various other vehicles the main one being a Jaguar XJ40 (1986-2003) so the hunt was on to find one the parts we needed from the Jag were the front and rear hubs,brakes and calipers and the rear diff and most of all a v5 to avoid the dreaded "Q" plate registration
The diff ratio needs to be 3.54/3.58 from a 3.6 auto this was proving difficult to find, you can get the parts from a breaker but having spoken to Jon I decided to buy a recon diff from a fellow builder of the right ratio he no longer required this then allowed me to buy any suitable donor as the other parts required are the same regardless of engine size and year.
So then we found a 1996 3.2 jag and it was even taxed and tested
