Default Barn Find XJS Sisters

Hello
I would like some constructive feedback as to my ambitions to restore two XJS Jags.One is a 1976 XJS and the other is a 1978 XJS. Both i poor condition but complete ( except the 1978 which has a V8 ) but other than that, complete.

What are your guys thoughts.

Welcome to the forums Devo1978, I am assuming you are in Gladstone, Qld. I have added you to the Qld Roll Call Thread.

The best place to ask your question is in the XJS forum.

Welcome.

XJS's are growing in value quite strongly.

The more original, without being stupid about it, the more the worth.

Time will be the key here, and the ability to hunt down whatever is needed from time to time.

Good luck with the journey.

Welcome to the forum Devo1978,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It's a challenge but one that several members have risen to successfully. It will take a LOT of time and a not inconsiderable amount of money but rising values should swing it more towards investment and away from money pit. You are going to need plenty of covered storage and working space.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xjs-x27-32/ to the XJS forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Good luck and enjoy the forums.

Graham
