Default XJS clone update

I have been reading for quite a while all the interesting posts and enjoying the "views" of project cars. I am 99% done with my project and feel the need to share it.
started with a free XJS from a junkyard that was ruined. I disassembled it and removed every part. I replaced the unibody with a steel frame that included explorer AWD, added LS 6.0 motor, twin turbos, AWD transfer case from Escalade and fenders from JBL Specialties. everything was hand fabricated in my garage (that's not my garage in media blasting) and even painted there. I enjoy driving it and showing off at car shows. it is all street driven. one day I will take it to a track and see what it will do!

Welcome back Dan,

It's come a very long way since the photo of the white XJS you first posted in 2017! Good to see you got it completed.
