hello new to this  i thought i would share my jaguar ownership story 

i have recently purchased a s type  1999  year  3lt  that was in very good condition with service history  drove  it home £419 pounds off eBay  

the reason for my purchase was to cut the roof of and turn it into a luxury pick up truck that was in November  so two months into it  its looking rather good i have strengthened  it made all the panels and body my self in my workshop i l have got the  log book changed at dvla to read  jaguar s type pick up and color changed to black they were very helpful

when i was planning my project looked on google and could not find a stype to draw inspiration from so i think i may have the only s type pick up  with the log book saying stype pick up on it in the world  wow wee how about that 

unless any of you no different 

 a couple of pics it much further on now will post more if any ones interested

Hi Tony

have you managed to squeeze 2 seats in the rear of the cab as well? I can't quite make out if possible or not. Is she going to be a working car?

clearly talented by the way
