Does such a restoration exist?
I am attacking this restoration like a Scotsman in the post Christmas sales, carefully! take the rear valance and lower corners behind the rear wheels, the car originally had slim bumpers and so a deep valance, I have made my own lower corner inner and outer parts, then cut down the valance, spent an hour or so shrinking the top edge to get some shape back and it will do a very good job! most repair panels I have bought are from ebay when people break up failed
restorations, a lot of the exterior chrome like door handles, rear light bodies, number plate lamp body, grille are all good used from ebay, will get spendy soon, carpet set, chrome strip set, tyres! head lining,
trying to end up the right side of 10K all done.....
I am looking for one used rear spring, n/s/r door top frame with good chrome, if you chaps could ask around your mates!
I bought a damaged series3 XJ6 3.4 with a 5 speed manual box for £1000, sold the box for £900, sold a few other bits, so the running engine is free, the old 2.4 was seized and a 2.4,
