A few years ago I was looking for a hoopty, for around $3.5k just to save money and get me to and from work. My German GF insisted I buy European. So we found this diamond in the ruff a "1996 XJ6 4.0" (shocked I was, while reminiscing of my old Triumph Spitfire). After more than a year of enjoyment an incident damaged the radiator and condenser, so the car sat for another year or so. I almost sold it but I knew I never wanted too, no one ever offered a million. So 6 months ago I started turning a wrench myself (I don't trust anyone with my Jag). So another ~$1.2k in parts, many hours and thanks to Jag forums for critical info. I have a luxurious, dependable, leak free, eye turner.
I hope to post some of my pain and triumphs as I iron out the wrinkles.



The future is so bright I have to wear shades!
