New member with XJS barn find!
Hi, I've decided to join the forum after deciding to restore a 1984 V12 XJS I found on a farm. So far I've collected the car tried to start it after 13 years of sitting in a shed! She initially fired up on easy start after spraying freeing oil down the bores but the fuels not getting through so need to solve that fault first!
Cheers, Matt

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm sure I will be on here quite a lot during the resto, the cars pretty solid with the main corrosion on the lower panels under the tear bumper but when I lifted the carpets in the car the floor and paintwork look as it did from new! There is also a patch on the front wing you can see in the pic where dirt has built up behind and rotted through.
