Hi folks, m new around n will b uploading pictures of rebuilding a XJ I bought from a scrap yard. Previously I used to own a red 94 XJ, but after an accident, the vehicle got cancelled. By chance I came over another 92 XJ. took it real cheap from the scrap yard, and am rebuilding it, using parts from my dead piece.

Tomorrow am going back to the scrap yard to look down for more XJ parts & accessories.

 

The last few days was faced with a leakage in the fuel rail. Got the fuel pressure regulator replaced and its all back to normal. Back from the junk yard, I picked the complete interior of a XJ in maroon colour. Took me one full day with the help of 4 cousins to change the complete interior. Still got to replace the driver side dash board and the piece down on the driver side

Got new shocks installed.

Plus i got the rear view mirror moved more up towards the roof.

 

This is how my XJ stands as of today.
Chrome side mirrors are replaced with plain black.
There is a slight leak in the power steering. I did get it fixed earlier, but it started back again from my off road trips.

 

did some shopping back at the junk yard.

got myself wood trim door cushions for a wagoneer
2 roof liner speaker supports
2 front top console
complete bracket which fixes outside the boot for holding the spare wheel
floor mats

Got all for $ 55

 

Summer is here and its already a bit difficult to work in this heat.....But I got myself a spare tyre carrier and a new hood vent for my XJ







Next I have plans to do some interior changes.........But before that, I am working on modifying to change these rubber guards on the front bumper.

 

Nice build, i love when vehicles are brought back from being dismantled. I also like how you've built it using mainly used parts. Cool hood, I've never seen that one before.

 

Thx... and the hood idea came to me from an auto show. Saw something similar on a Nissan Skyline R34, and so got one fiber made for my XJ.

Also got myself hood clips, will get them afixed soon....

 

that hood is cool man
keep up the good work

 

Well just picked up 2 seats from the scrap yard. Took them out from a 1990 mode Honda CRX. Did some welding adjusstments with the base brackets, replaced the cover to match up maximum with the interior.

 

 

were the 90 crx seats ripped? and were they blue or black?

if they werent ripped youre gonna wish you didnt mess with them.

crx seats (expecially the black seats from an SI modle fetch a nice penny un ripped.

Basically if they were un ripped blue crx seats from a 90 - 91 you could have got 100 - 150 for the set. If they were black 100 - 200

if they were si seats 250 +

note that crx and civic hatchback are not the same. (I was a big time parts dealer in the crx world for a while)

 

They were black, and not so in good condition. I picked up both from the JY for $65.
