Default Video - After restoration project - Classic Jaguar XJ6

A short video of my 85 XJ6 after long lasting restoration project which I started in 2015/2016 and finally got all set 99% completed in June 2021

There is about 1% work to be done, initially, the car was non-runner for over 20yrs and has sat all this while with rust before I purchased it for restoration.
the total project cost me around USD15,000 to bring this car to this level.

With the support of the gurus here that I got encouraged to have this project done, I say great thanks to all members here on this forum.

Below is link to a private YouTube video which doesn't look professional but manage it as is for me.

All those threads you started were for this car? I hope you are staying with the forum to help us out with our Jags now that you have that expertise! What an awesome car for the money spent, and one that could last a lifetime.

Was that video taken in Ghana? See many Jags there?

Hi Mkii250,

Yes, all my threads and sweats were about this car since the time I joined this forum about five or so years trying to get this car back to road.

Yes, the video was taken in Ghana, Accra
I have no where to go out of this forum, we are all here to support each other.

Mike, it looks great. Always satisfying to complete a major project like this - now the driving enjoyment part. I always suggest one for driving and another project car for the enjoyment of solving problems and bringing it along.

Jeff
