Is it worth 30 thousand yuan to renovate this Jaguar?
First, check the condition of the car.
1. Chassis inspection: When this car came over, it felt that the chassis of the vehicle was loose. After lifting the chassis, it was found that the suspension system and rubber sleeve were seriously damaged. Considering the age and kilometers of these components, it is recommended to replace most chassis and suspension components.
2. Check the brake system: there is no problem with the electronic handbrake. The brake disc has been replaced once, and the wear is not serious, so it can be repaired by CD. The aging of two front brake oil pipes must be replaced, brake pads should be replaced, and four brake cylinders should be cleaned.
3. Engine and gearbox: The mileage of this Jaguar is 200,000 kilometers, which is middle-aged at best. After testing, the working conditions of the engine and gearbox are still good. The engine and gearbox do not need maintenance, but only need major maintenance.
4. Interior: No matter how excellent the moving parts are, the appearance and interior will lose the charm of the classic car, and the owner can't stand it. This Jaguar leather seat is well protected. The four seats do not need to be refurbished, and the problem of automatic return can also be fixed. At the same time, the leather can be maintained and cleaned. However, the door panel of the main driver is seriously damaged, and some mahogany decorative panels also need to be repaired and refurbished. There is no need to replace the sound system of the whole vehicle. Because the skylight of the vehicle leaked before, the roof has collapsed and should be replaced. However, the replacement price of the original car ceiling is too high, so it is recommended to customize it according to the original car standard.
There were many bumps in the use of this Jaguar before, and there was basically no original car paint. It is recommended that the whole car be repainted. The surface of the left headlight is aging and needs to be refurbished.
Second, determine the plan.
After the vehicle condition is tested, it is necessary to determine the maintenance and reconstruction plan with the owner. Every car owner has individual needs. After communicating with the owner, we learned that the owner still wants to replace the large-sized wheels. Whether the vehicle chassis is compact and the steering is accurate will bring us the most direct driving experience. The maintenance of the braking system and the oil-water maintenance of the whole vehicle are related to the driving safety. These are all necessary items. Inside the vehicle, the aging ceiling needs to be replaced. The owner decided to keep the original flavor of the old car and not upgrade the central control big screen with reversing image. For the exterior part of the vehicle, if the whole vehicle is painted, many exterior parts will be removed. This Jaguar exterior decoration is very difficult to buy. In order to control the budget, after communicating with the owner, we decided to transform the appearance of the whole vehicle and make a film for the whole vehicle. Together with the necessary maintenance items such as oil and water, air conditioning cleaning and three-way catalyst cleaning, the total budget is nearly 30,000 yuan. It should be noted that this is only a preliminary estimate, and there will be some unforeseen circumstances in the process of maintenance, and the final cost will definitely exceed 30,000 yuan. After the owner approves, we will start work.
Third, maintenance and renovation.
1. Replace suspension parts, and carry out anti-rust treatment on some parts. At this time, it was found that the shock absorption was not working, and it could only be replaced together. Further check that the shock absorber base is not damaged by aging, and this item can be omitted.
2. Maintenance of brake system, replacement of brake pads and renovation of brake discs.
3. Replace the oil filter, clean the oil nozzle, clean the throttle, and thoroughly clean the carbon deposit in the cylinder, and replace the six spark plugs together.
4. Regarding the change of gearbox oil, we still want to emphasize that it must be gravity oil change. There must be a lot of sludge and iron filings in the gearbox. Using the cycle machine is likely to damage the gearbox. Change the oil and change the gearbox filter.
5, 200,000 km car, there must be impurities in the fuel tank. We cleaned the fuel tank and replaced the gasoline filter to ensure the smooth flow of the oil circuit.
6. Refurbish the original rim.
7. During maintenance, it was found that the trunk was poorly sealed and easy to leak when it rained. From the small plug at the bottom of this trunk, we know that this is a common problem of Jaguar S type, but this problem has been solved by us.
8. In addition to the roof and damaged interior panels mentioned above, we maintained the interior mahogany, replaced the leather part of the steering wheel, repaired the main driver's seat belt, and finally cleaned the interior.
9. After the appearance of the car body was corrected, the left headlight was refurbished, and finally the whole car was covered with English green film.
You will encounter all kinds of difficulties when repairing old cars. At this time, you need to be patient and find a way. You may never find the right parts and keep switching between ordering and returning. For example, this Jaguar has replaced the brake tubing, and the accessories bought from the vice factory are 4 cm shorter than the original accessories. Although it can be used after installation, it is likely to break down in extreme cases. What should I do if the original brake oil pipes are replaced and the price of each one is close to 1000? Finally, we choose to find a professional craftsman to customize it, which is not only suitable for 100%, but also low in cost.
It has been used for more than 1 month, and the total cost is nearly 30,000. I bought a different Jaguar S-model. Is it worth it?
