New butcher from NJ
Hey! My name is Rob.. obviously. im in Nj.
Managed to find a local selling a 1983 XJS shell for 600. No engine or trans, body in ok shape. Inside in good shape too. Talked him down to $250 and got it towed to my house!
Going to make the outside pretty and drop a 5.9 cummins in it along with a 5 speed swap, custom mounts and some butchering is in the works for this poor jag.
Anyway, joined to ask a question and got my answer but ill browse around here and there

Did I read that right? 5.9 Cummins with a 5-speed?
I guess I did!
Wow!
I might have to haunt the XJS section just to see how you do that.

Welcome.
Another saved from the crusher, well done.
Keep the XJS section updated with the progress, it will be of interest to many in there.
