This cheap supercharged Jaguar finally gets the manual gearbox it deserved

After sitting outside for 2.5 years, this cheap supercharged Jaguar XKR is cleaned up and prepared for a major transformation. The team removes its power-sapping automatic gearbox and fits a six-speed ZF manual from a Jaguar S-Type diesel, along with a custom pedal box and a tougher paddle clutch. The swap should make the V8 feel more direct by cutting the losses from the old torque converter. The job also uncovers an odd surprise under the console, with crystal-like stones found during the strip-down, while a history check reveals the car has travelled from Britain to America, Japan and back. Despite warning lights and no proper exhaust, the first clutch test works. The project lives again

The one thing no one tells you about electric cars

We found this car from 1940 in a barn - and bought it for $13,000

An early morning search led Richard to a 1949 Cadillac Sedanette that turned out to be far cleaner than expected. The car had very little rust, no obvious bondo, a solid frame and floorboards, and many of the missing trim pieces were still stored in the trunk. After negotiating the price down to $12,500, the plan was to get it running and take it straight to the Pate Swap Meet instead of bringing it back to the shop first. At the swap meet, the crew tried to turn the Cadillac around quickly while also checking out other unusual cars and trucks for sale. The whole trip became a lesson in buying the right car, knowing its value, and finding the right buyer.

Cheap supercharged Jaguar gets new subframe and a hidden engine problem

This DriveTribe Jaguar XKR project focuses on the front end of a cheap supercharged V8 coupe that turns out to be cleaner than expected underneath. Because the car was imported from Japan, the front subframe comes apart far more easily than a typical rusty UK example. The old frame is replaced with a freshly powder coated unit, renewed bushes and all new mounts, while the team also discovers a broken oil-filled engine mount that had to be replaced. Between the workshop work, they inspect a rare Jaguar R3 Formula 1 display car. The final upgrade is a custom Avo coilover setup, designed to keep the Jaguar comfortable while improving handling and allowing the ride height to drop by up to 55 mm.
