New member, new owner- '87 VDP

Hello all, I picked up an 87 XJ6 VDP (champagne with ‘biscuit’? interior) about a month ago that was in warehouse storage for 13ish or so years. The warehouse owner (specialty car storage) fired it up twice a year and drove it around the large parking lot so I knew it was at least a runner. Bought it basically sight unseen for a song and have been waking it up over the course of the last few weeks. The brakes were dragging, the right fuel tank would geyser fuel out the filler if selected, massi…

New XJ6 Owner, under the hood

[image] [image] I’ve recently picked up this beautiful white s3 and am ready to get to work on it. It’s has two owners, the second owner had explained to me that it a rear main seal leak, which after research i’ve discovered can be a pain in the arse. They also said the power steering rack needed replacing. I knew this would be a PROJECT but for the money it’s worth it.

New XJ6 owner, finally took the leap

Hello, everyone. I’ve admired the SIII Xj6s ever since they came out, and today I finally parked one in my garage. I’m hoping to learn a lot from everyone here, and I’m sure I’ll need to lean on y’all a little to get this cat to where I want it to be.

So I bought a red 1975 Xj6 3.4L. Manual gearbox with O.D

So I found a car with extensive rust repairs, rear and front end from a xj12 S2. I think this is the oldest car I have driven so far… my mothers old SAAB being a -77. [Front] The paint isn’t the absolute best, the red paint is the 3rd layer, second layer is military olive green, original color was some kind of darker blue. I love it being red though. The leather upholstery is in good albeit dry condition. The seats are very comfortable. I have liquid leather for cleaning and conditioning. […
