It's here!!
Finally picked up the 95 XJ6.
A few issues:
Once I get through that stuff, I'll start driving it to see what else it needs.
101,890 miles, cold AC, and all the gears work, can we ask for more? I'm just glad I don't have to sit in the back seat.
A few issues:
- Passenger seat goes forward, not backwards
- I think the lower rad hose needs replaced (yuck)
- radio sounds like cr@p - planned on replacing it anyways with a unit with a video monitor for a rear view camera
- couple cracks in the rear bumer cover
- a little rust ove rthe rear wheel arch (winter project)
- a couple burned out side marker lamps
- headliner

Well, it's not the lower radiator hose, it's the coolant bypass hose. Looks like I'll be ordering the intake manifold gasket, too.
It looks like the only way to get to the rear side of this hose is to pull the intake manifold. Tell me if I'm wrong. So, I'll order that gasket while I'm ordering the bypass hose.
Do I need to get anything else?
I imagine its pretty straight forward, but is there an order to remove and replace the bolts with torque specs?

What most of us do is take the car (or a piece of the headliner) to the local trim shop ....where you'll be able to look at a large sample card and select a matching material. It's nothing exotic....you'll be able to match it up. Expect to pay $40-$60 for enough material to do the job.

On a side note, make sure you consider downloading JTIS as it has coverage for your model year.
Even further afield, with regard to your MGB have a look at:
