I am working on a fence project at our house and needed to replace some wood so I drove my wife’s 1990 XJ-S convertible to the local lumber yard for some 2X4s and fence boards. I got some smiles and waves on the drive home. The wood was secured with rope tied to the seats and doors.
If you take the rear seat out of an XJ SIII saloon, it exposes depressions in the floor pan that are the exact size needed to firmly hold a pair of rigid Sainsburys shopping crates.
Well James, I never thought I’d be able to say this, but you’re way too conservative and timid. Come back to me when you’ve driven 600 miles with a gearbox and bellhousing in the boot, in order to make room for the engine on the back seat…
You look like like Ernest Hemingway landing a giant Marlin in the tropics.
I took the seat cushion out and jacked the car up so the engine hoist could poke in further from the passenger side before the pulling from the driver side began. Of course I made sure the back seat occupant was ‘buckled up’ but hate to thin what would have happened in a bad head-on shunt…
Peter I still may not have topped the engine in the rear seat but have you ever loaded a red rocket on the roof and driven 45 mins w a cat and dog hanging out?
