Default Jaguar XJ6 1993 ---photo updates 21/6

Hey, not a ford, or even remotly related! But thought i'd start a bit of a thread on here, bit of fun and will hopefully sper me on to get stuff done!

Just bought for £300, half years MOT remaining, in need of tlc but I think has some potential! Plan on making it shine, bit of a Sunday drive car



Updates as and when!

Ah I see! I know when I take Jags apart, a lot of the components inside have Ford stamps on them, but I don't think I've done one made after 2008 anyway, so that's probably why I've not seen a Tata logo on one

Ok, finally got some work done. The car had been sitting up a farm for 3 months and as you can tell by the original photo, looking a little glum. Haven't done a great deal so far, just the following....

Full service
New rear bumper+chrome
Replaced sunroof panel
New wheels
Sorted some wiring
Gave her a good wash and polish

Hope you enjoy the results so far...

whole project so far, including buying the car has cost me a tad over £500

Took her out a few evenings over the weekend down the coastline in the sun, was so rewarding after all the hard work!

before.......



After......











Next stage is to really tidy the outside up and then we will go from there

I think it would look nice with a bigger set of wheels on it.
