Hello all.
I am picking up a '85 XJ6 either Friday or Saturday. It is a done deal. he is just getting the paperwork together. It is an ex-ambassador's car. But it is in pretty rough shape. It has been sitting for 18 months since he passed away.
I got to working a bit on it today. It runs & drives pretty good with NICE ice cold AC. But the windows dont work to well..or at all & it has a good bit of rust on it.
Cleaned it up ALOT, getting alot of teh mold, dust & spider webs out of it.
Anyway. here are a few photos & a link to the album on photobucket where I am keeping track of the restore/fixer up process.

Nice classic/ almost classic. Just like my Dodge, she'll be ready for historic status in 2010. Good luck with her and welcome.

 

Hi 85xj6....great intro ....welcome to the forum.
Hope you enjoy the site and look forward to your posts as you restore her to health.

All the best

 

Welcoem to the forums

 

Thanks all.
I just drove her home a few hours ago. Gotta rip apart the front brakes tomorrow because they are stuck. There is a good amount of surface rust buildup so the they wont release. I am just going to sand & clean the pads & rotors. If I have to i'll clean up the caliper pistons.
Not a big deal. Gotta expect these things when the car has been sitting for almost two years out in the elements.
Going to be a LONG day tomorrow.

All in all I believe it was $800 well spent.
I'll have some good pics up either late tomorrow or Sunday.

 

$800?? you stole it!.. That's a beautiful car and definitely deserves to be restored.. If you need any help finding parts or need technical questions answered, feel free to post em'.. Eric
