Picking up a 1985 XJ6 this week.
Hello everyone,
I just bought my first Jaguar today, a 1985 XJ6, with 144K miles. Attached a photo.
Looks beautiful, and runs great, does need some work but I'm hoping to work on it myself.
Anyone know how hard it is to replace the brake lines?

Thoese Ser IIIs are terrific cars. They're the most modern of all antique automobiles :-).
Brake lines? Nothing exotic or Jaguar-unique about them that I can think of. If you've replaced 'em on any other car you can surely DIY on a Ser III XJ6.
Welcome aboard
Cheers
