1972 Jaguar XJ6 4.2l SWB

Current Status - October 2002

On the road.

This is my "oldest" car. Bought it in '94 and have since done quite a lot of restoration work on it. Most things ranging from Engine rebuild, rust fixing (don't get me started on Jaguars and rust...), interior restoration, front suspension and rear axle rebuild.

In general it runs fine, some minor hiccups with the gearbox (slow shifting into third).

The main problem with it is unfortunately rust. It is pretty well stopped (or at least slowed down) now thanks to oil treatments, but it is a neverending battle. Somebody would need to spend a month in the garage with a MIG. Any volunteers?
