So, on a whim (and because I always need a project that runs on gasoline) I bought an 89 XJS with the 350 conversion already done. It was a mess and not running so I got it for $900. After a new ECU and alternator it is running, albeit roughly. Working on cleaning the interior, got the stock radio unlocked and slowly projecting on it. All the electrical bits work, heated seats etc, but the a/c was never finished. Still needs paint and the motor to run properly, but I'm making progress and it makes me happy. I figure I'll keep it for a while then maybe flip it. Don't know yet. So that's the car.

I'm a Marine officer at camp Pendleton with a thing for cars. The weirder the better, but I went with the jag because my wife thought the Maserati Biturbo looked like a Nissan. Maybe her being a Brit had something to do with it.....

Thanks a lot. I found the XJS, but hadn't seen the x350 forum yet. Thanks again. Off I or.

 

Hello & welcome & good luck with your project !! Nice to see you here !!

 

Welcome to the forum Mustang04,

Is that a 5.7 litre 350 Chevy conversion? Sounds like all the hard work has been done so good luck with getting the engine running sweetly and the paint sorted.

Enjoy the forum.
