1985 XJ6 near Coffs Harbour
Hi guys, I've given up on the S3 XJ6, had planned on keeping it for parts/future hotrod plans but space is more of an issue now.
2 car carport with 3 MK2 Jaguars and an S-type, 2 BMWs, Boat, Kia and a Porsche.
The driveline is complete, and its stripped of the interior, rust around the rear window and firewall deemed it beyond saving in my books.
Just not driving right now due to having no spark, too many other projects on the go, but compression is good at 140-150 across all, I resealed the intake manifold, cleaned the fuel system of rust, bypassed the rusted RHS fuel tank, and deleted the faulty gas system and alarm system to get it running, also deleted air injection, EGR and A/C as well.
So if anyone wants it, I'd much rather see it go to someone who has the space to keep it or could benefit from having a full driveline and subframes they could restore while keeping their car on the road, or something to that effect.
The subframes sell relatively easily to hot rodders and the like for kit car conversion (a cobra kit car is a pipeline dream)
As for cost? for you fellow forum members, seeing as we all love a good drink, hows a bottle of Jack Daniels or Tequila sound. It's on gumtree now for $500 if you want to see some photos of it. Its blue and rusty, interior is stripped as it was wet and mouldy, bumpers are gone too so its the superleggera version. Pepperpot rims and tyres are in great condition.
If I had some acerage, it would be sitting out there but space is the only reason it's going.

Wow sounds like a seriously nice car! We have a range of classic cars in our garage and use them for our driving school in Coffs Harbour to teach students the ins and outs of how engines really work (something that's hard to teach on modern, more electrical engines).
