Default New member XJ6 X300 4.0L

Hello all
Owned 2 Xtypes previously 3.0L 2001 for 12 years then a 2012 2.0L Diesel 2 years.
Now purchased a 1996 XJ6 4.0L thats been lying unused with a cracked windscreen in my home country Scotland for 8 years.
Rust a bit worse than expected But looking forward to getting it on the road in 2021.
Started the strip down and welding it back to a good condition.

Roof above windscreen

Before repair

Hello Kilty, welcome.

Good work stopping the rust monsters from devouring the car! See you in the X300 section where you will be able to find all about how to bring her back to life.
