Hello,
I just bought a xkr last week with 200dkm. It needed some work.
Mostly suspension and some electronics, nothing i can't handle![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But sadly there was a surprise when i first looked under the car after driving home. Both floor panels are corroded and also the rear a style subframe looks very bad. I have no experience with welding ? i would like some advise on this subject ? Are all xks sensitive for rust like this ?
Thanks in advance ! Samuel

Started today with the carpet removal, found my rusty floor panels.
And also found something else.... Rust on the side of the tunnel on the passengers side ! Is this common ? What can i do about it ?
I ordered the floor panels from eBay, they arrived today and look OK !
Going to see a welder tomorrow hope its not to expensive :O
