Restoration XJS V12 manual gearbox 1978
#22
As well advise me to the car and I've replaced all engine fluids, spark plugs, belts, I have reviewed the operation of mechanical and electrical fan, I repaired the master and slave cylinder clutch. I've checked the brakes and I replaced the brake fluid. I cleaned the tank and I have replaced all the rubber lines. I have disarmed all the front suspension and I changed all rubber elements and also of the stabilizer bar.
Now I'm with the rear axle, and I have replaced all the rubber elements of the stabilizer bar and I am due to receive a new radius arms to install them.

The points where I found rust are on the right rear fender, behind the rear bumper and on the rails rubbers doors in its lower area. It also has a little rust on the floor of the trunk and soils the cabin but are superficial, with clean rust and protect enough once removed.
I'll put photos of the process.

Radius arms were already installed and I went to spend the technique inspection vehicles, mandatory to legally run, the last time that happened was in 1998 so you adivinareis long the vehicle has been out of the game. ITV has been passed correctly to 100%. Then I made a route of about 100 km and the car behaves to perfection, no strange noises, brakes are effective stability is very good and suspensions are comfortable. The engine is powerful and responds forcefully from low r.p.m.
It is a quick car even for today's vehicles. Thinking about his time contemporary vehicles circulating on the roads, this must be as fast and refined that one could find.
'A real wonder !!!
