Description:
This is a 1987 XJ I bought to tinker with. I still mess around with it with my brother who adopted it in August of '10; he recently put a full (shiny) aluminum radiator in. When I bought it the cylinder head was warped and the oil looked like a milkshake. I pulled the engine, painted the engine bay, and bought a crate engine from J&C Automotive (in Washington, I think?). Installed it myself and restored the emissions system so that the Renix computer could run the way it was supposed to. Then I started replacing interior parts, including a ghoulish headliner with the same color but from a newer XJ at the junkyard. After getting most of the stock parts squared away and the mechanics running well, I lifted it. And then it just went from there... These are pics just before I passed it on and jumped into my new project.
