Awesome deal Shagman, Might have to take you up on that. Still not sure when we'll go pick it up. I've been working on the other jag all afternoon. I can see I'm gonna have my hands full bringing these cats back to life. It's a fun hobby though, and these things are really simple to work on. Well....the one I have now is. I aint so sure about this v12 coming..

Just wanna mention... we drove to Homer, LA the weekend before last and trailered the beast back home. It's gonna be a big project. Needs lots of interior work , and some body rot that needs patching. Have so far replaced the fuel injector hoses, remote brake resevoir, starter, etc. Had to remove front left downpipe and cat converter, and steering rack to pull the starter. This thing is a beast to work on, there is NO room in the engine compartment to work on anything, the battery is in the trunk, as well as the gas tank. It has 6 shocks, 4 catalytic converters, 4 mufflers, 2 oxygen sensors... and god forbid I should replace the injectors, there's 12 of them. It has enough vacuum lines to make it look like a plate of spaghetti. It's the most complicated 80's car I have ever seen. Anyways... enough whining.. I'm working on this project, I'll post pix when I get it in a little better shape.

After getting this.. it makes me appreciate the xj6 even more for it's condition and lack of maintenance requirements. I'll get there, it's just gonna take a while
