Repairing my 1987 "Wagoneer" XJ Limited After Two Accidents
 

So my beautiful "Kate" was in two accidents, one hitting either side of the front fenders.

I will be updating this thread following my rebuild of the front end of the woody, and possibly any other subsequent upgrades/repairs I do, as there are many.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Cheers!

First Accident damage

First Thing's First: Fixing the Engine Problems
 

After the second accident it shifted some items under the hood on the passenger side.

My engine has always had a rough idle, however since the accident it now has a "whooshing" sound like air is coming into or leaking out of the engine head on the driver side.

This is a video I took of under my hood, if any of you would care to listen and chime in on what problem(s) I may be facing, and what to do about it.


Thanks all,

Cheers!
