Hello, Shaun,
Members in here are quite Liberal; as in, they respect other's choices even if they might not like them and wouldn't do that to their own car.
You have rolled Whole lot of work into that car and it's turned out Wonderful!
RED and BLACK are my 2 Favorite colors. And the car looks downright Snarly!
I Like it.
I'd Drive That!!

Beautiful build and craftsmanship. I have always thought that an XJ6C would be my ultimate build and I would do something similar, too bad they are so rare. Like Yellow series3 said, in the US you see a lot of small block LT/LS Chevy engines being used, probably because they are plentiful, fairly inexpensive, have lots of aftermarket performance support and the fact that many others have gone before and figured out the swap. While the BMW engine would probably be more difficult to source in the US I like that it is different. One of the biggest appeals to me in an engine is the visual statement when you open the hood, which you nailed. I have always thought a Jag 6.0 V12 with headers and Hilborn fuel injection would be a visual work of art.
Tell us more about the seats and what modifications had to be made.
How was the electronics handled with the engine conversion.

Am I seeing X308 bumper covers on an S3? Curious what you had to do to make that work. If the width is that close, I wonder if anyone has ever tried modifying the front and back ends of an X308 to mount S1 or 2 chrome bumpers for a more retro look?

Thank you,it's a similar concept,the citroen uses hydrolastic fluid,this uses air,you have a control under the center armrest to lift and lower the car as you wish.
