And they said it couldn't be done. 30+ pounds of weld wire, 4 bottles of gas, 50 pounds of steel, 40 zip cut discs, 4 weeks, a great friends help.
XJ rides again. That was 6 months and 40000 km ago. It's alive. It's an XJ. One can always just roll up your sleeves and fix it.

 

Now that's love and dedication

 

Tell me about it. I when I bought mine in bad 287xxx on it and I have spent over 3 grand in repairs. Now this week I'm gonna start a thread when I do the body and paint. XJs can live forever!!

 

Worse I have ever seen. Do you have any completed shots ? Thought I had passion to save old vehicles. I would have pronounced that puppy DOA. Just shows us where there is a will there is a way.

 

My Xj was sitting in a fireld for 6+ yrs before I got it for free.. Put a JY motor in it.. and it is my DD/weekend warrior.. I love wrenchin in it..

 

That's strange mine sat Ina field for six years then a distributar cap and she was running

 

im affraid to lift my carpet because i know whats under there and its not much. if you lift my rear seat up you can see the ground. i know for sure it will get fixed sooner than later unless i end up rolling it over, got to much time, pride, an money into her!!

 

about 100 pics in my profile album, if you have tools and time almost anything can be rebuilt.

 

i thought eng was bad so I replaced it. Come to find out the PO had seriosly crossthreaded a torque converter bolt and thats why it sounded like it was guna blow the oil pan off when i tried to start it..lol
