Hi I am Dalton Spiers. I live in south MS. I am in the process of restoring a 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. The car sat in a barn in my community for most of its life. I begged the older gentlemen to sell me it but he refused. Two days after the owner had passed a way, his late wife have the car to me. So the restoration begun. All the wiring under the bonet was gone due to rats. We replaced the original engine (which only had 50,000 miles on it) with a Chevy 350 engine. And that's me. Thanks. And sorry for not doing this to begin with.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Is the VdP running yet? I don't envy you the task of sorting out chewed wiring harness!
