Hello I am Brad Espenshade from Lancaster County PA. No I am not Amish but pretty darn close if you consider owning 7 cars 1 motorcycle and lots of other engine run toys. I am 25 years old and an Industrial Electrician at Alcoa Mill Products Lancaster.

I have come to this forum is because I have purchased a 1991 Jaguar XJ6. I bought the car from my ex-girlfriends parents as I had worked on it a few times for them whilst I was dating their daughter. Door handles and other electrical problems.

The car is green with the wire spoke factory option wheels has 160,000 on the clock and has a few issues that need addressed. I have to do all the ball joints up front as well as tie rod end links. The radio never worked when I got it and the windshield wiper has a mind of its own. Right now I am looking at a problem with the TPS as I believe it is bad. I just got my Hayes manual for some info and I am hoping that will help me out a lot.

I have perused your site for a few weeks now just reading and am liking what I see and hear. I am a car enthusiast that has to modify everything I own. Some of my plans for the Jag are to convert to the four headlight front end, install a very nice JL audio system, and perhaps if I want to go real crazy chop the top and put air bag suspension on it. I have not yet done a chop top on anything but am really interested in doing so. This Jag is the perfect cruiser that I have been wanting. I have all five speed cars so this being an auto makes its perfect. As for the last month I gave it to my mother to drive wile I replaced the transmission in her van, she said that she enjoyed drive the little car.

I will thak everyone in advace for any help that I may obtain from this site, I live my life on about a dozen forums in which I am very active. I know how helpfull people can be and am thankful for the hlep.

(the Superlative is title that I got threw a long story but now it is how I signe all my forum posts, its a joke not and aragance)

 

Thanks for the welcomes! I will try and get some pics as soon as I get back out to the shop and get her cleaned up. As for the chop top I just think that it would look amazing with 4 to 6 inches choped out the car would have a great slender and look that would set it off. I am curently working on 4 of my seven cars so I would not start this project for a long time yet. Like I said I am an enthusiast that has to modify everything. As for the four headlights I have the 87 Bimmer that has the four lights and I love that Euro look so I think that HID's with the four headlights would just look real nice.
