KBeing 28 yrs old......I recently changed my fuel filler which ended up being the complete fuel system overhaul. Just replaced my gearbox, from the jag moss box to a 5 speed T5.Right after ....my motor blew a piston.......motor apart.........at the same time I decided to do my front end , while it is apart.......All new bushing and ball joints....lower control arms from series 1 xj have mettalastic bushings, a ***** ..but those done. My rear also is coming apart ...the fulcrum rods ...both inners and outers have some play.....I have the new ones in hand ...do that next week ....and at same time putting my LSD back which I had taken out to fix leaks........also just put new wheels.......I really hated the old ones.I lived with them .....priorities!
When the mechanicals are finished I will do the paint and resew a new softtop.......I made that 28 yrs ago too, so the clear plastic is all faded........in a month or so ...it will be a new car........
