Sucker for a Redhead
I haven't been around a whole lot lately been slammed with work and slowly building my new xj. Started out with my old xj Dana 44s front and rear beat to hell caged and chopped on 38s. Till one last roll ripped up the unibody even more. So I got a donor xj for the swap/rebuild.
I found a red one that caught my eye and started the swap with lots of goodies and shiny stuff. On to the pics

After pulling the motor out of the redhead I decided to plate the whole engine bay not a ton of pics but now she's plated with 3/16 all the way down the compartment

After installing the new motor myself and getting the thing dismantled for new goodies I installed a freshly cleaned intake manifold that is now silver again and a new banks header.
