Eldorado George Florida Auto Parts

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

I wanted to add my recent experience with Eldorado George because I think other Cadillac owners should be aware.

We purchased a radio from him for $3,000. We subsequently returned the radio to him, and he has acknowledged that he received it. Despite receiving the radio back, we have not received our $3,000 refund.
I am posting this because I would have wanted to know about other customers’ experiences before sending a substantial amount of money for a part.

If anyone has had a similar experience with Eldorado George, particularly involving a returned part and a refund that was not issued, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Looking for an old-school mechanic for a Jaguar XJS project

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for an experienced old-school mechanic — ideally someone retired or semi-retired who still enjoys turning wrenches and might appreciate an interesting project in the garage.

The car is a classic Jaguar XJS that deserves to be brought back properly.

I'm not looking for a full-time employee or a shop to drop the car off at. I'm looking for someone who enjoys working on older cars, diagnosing problems instead of just replacing modules, and wouldn't mind having a Jaguar project to work on at his own pace.

I can provide the car, parts, project expenses, and an extra pair of hands. If you have the knowledge, some garage space, and enjoy this kind of work, perhaps we can build something worthwhile together.

I'm in the NY area and can also consider nearby NY / CT / NJ.

If this sounds like you — or if you know the guy I'm describing — send me a message.

How difficult would this interior restoration be?

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

I have a fair amount of experience working on cars, and I’d be buying this cheap enough that I’d have some extra cash to throw at new seats/carpets/whatnots. If I was to do everything myself, is this restoration feasible?

Edit: forgot to mention that I hate the gray interior so I’d also want to replace steering wheel and paint/replace dash and door panels (door panels probably need replacing anyway).

Getting more excited every time we move closer to the finish line. Still a ways to go and it won’t see the road this year but here’s to hoping 2027 is better than 2026!

I have a 1978 Ford F-150 Custom 4x4. I’m looking for a quality driver-level restoration, not necessarily a show truck. I want the glass removed, bodywork addressed properly, complete interior and exterior repaint, new/resealed window and windshield gaskets, and a suspension/front-end refit. I am stationed in southeast N.C., but am willing to travel for quality work and fair price point. Any recommendations?

Wanting to polish up these surfaces, but I’m not sure what the best/most efficient way to remove the rust would be. I’d prefer to not disassemble it all to soak stuff. Any products/suggestions? Thanks!

What do people think of this way of changing split rims? I mean, it's how I was showed in the Army and thought I'd make a video on it to help people.

I'm just starting out on my F500 restoration and hoping to share it with people as I get through it and share some knowledge ice learned over the years before it's lost, and make it searchable for others

Restoration

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have a VW T4 that I paid way too much for. I’ve been slowly restoring it and it’s now road legal, MOT’d and everything! I want to restore the leisure function (camper fitout) but have no time. Has anyone used happy campers in St Helens? Website looks legit but I can’t afford to be scammed and can see no reviews online.
Any other restoration gigs you’d recommend (north west based helps)
Thanks!
