In this riveting episode of Hagerty, we find the team delving into the world of automotive restoration with Philip Reinhardt in St. George, Maine. Their mission? Reviving a classic '62 Jaguar E-Type with a gutsy Corvette 327 engine swap. The team faces the daunting task of rust repair on the subframes, meticulously replicating past modifications using T45 steel and torch brazing for that authentic touch. With ingenious solutions like relocating torsion bar mounts and steering, they're on track to create a roaring masterpiece.

But that's not all - brace yourselves for a jaw-dropping Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit project featuring a GM 8.1 engine swap. The team's plan? To transform this beauty into a streetable, reliable beast, with dreams of possibly turning it into a rally legend reminiscent of the '70s. With meticulous attention to detail and a passion for performance, Hagerty's restoration journey is a thrilling rollercoaster of automotive ingenuity and craftsmanship.

As the team dives deeper into the Jaguar E-Type restoration, the sheer dedication and skill put into the engine swap leave enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. The Corvette 327 engine, boasting 384 horsepower, is a true testament to classic power and performance. Meanwhile, the Rolls-Royce project promises to be a bold venture into uncharted territory, with visions of a rally-ready masterpiece dancing in their minds. Hagerty's commitment to excellence and authenticity shines through in every bolt turned and every engine revved, making this restoration saga a true testament to the art of automotive craftsmanship.
