Default Outlaw XJS

Greetings all. Picked up an L98 swapped 1985 XJS for the 14YO boys first car. Needs a bit of work, window seals, interior, suspension, brakes, paint... engine is strong but needs tuning, maybe a few upgrades...

Anyhow this is what we will be doing in an "outlaw" style over the next couple years until he can drive it. Probably annoy many of you with frequent questions as we get our feet wet in Jag world.

Onwards!


PS - surprised there is not much going on with the outlaw angle... cars seem perfect for it.

Hello,
Many of us who own/drive older Jaguars have conversions to various V8s, usually Chevy 350, although at least one member stuffed a 454 into his!

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
