Great car, looks like this could be interesting 😃

Sell it. Move on. You did a great job. Thank you so much.

My 3.6 litre 1989 XJS with Fuel Injection and obviously no carburettas gets 35 miles to the gallon. If yours has carburettas then you are doing well with anything over 12 miles to the gallon.

What was the hardes thing to remove this beam? Brake lines?

Only deal with the essentials and drive it and enjoy it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this project, well done thank you

The car could be called Grey Matter's because that is what you are using to repair it

You should expect 23 mpg on a run

Well done for getting the car to this point put some new tires on it and let your dad take the trip if you do a two stage polish on it that would make it look great.

Nice looking Jag. The only thing I would say is when you drive an old Jag you always have your hand in your pocket.

Whoever started to do the van up found the engine problem and decided to get shut of it,it could be an easy fix but I doubt it I wouldn’t put money into it mileage too high even if you put an engine in the value is not great but I realise it’s content for your channel good luck

Do it

How do you do it?! 🤣👏

My bad, you don't have the TH400 transmission, might want to check the kickdown assy though, that might be what's keeping it from getting out of first.

You probably have to order the shift governor gear. There is a servo cover that you have to take off near the back of the transmission. Ebay sells that kit. It's sold as TH400 shift governor repair kit. Those plastic gears are notorious for going bad and it won't shift beyond 1st gear when that gets worn. The repair kit is cheap. The kit comes with a couple of nails for you to knock the roll pin out in order to replace the gear. Then you put the new gear in and use the other nail to pound the roll pin back in. I use a press, which works better than those nails, but if you don't have a press, that's the way you do it.

Carnt we hear general kellog speak for himself. ???????????

By replacing the seals on your hoist outside it can make it dependable for years to come if that is all that is wrong with it.

Great work. I've enjoyed watching you battle through the expected old Jag issues! Personally I would move it on and get another interesting bus in the garage as each time you get something else you are likely to pick up more subs as enthusiasts of that particular car get interested. Full on resto will take twice as long as you expect and costs will be bonkers. I love these cars by the way. Plus if it stays in the family you can still add XJ-S content from time to time ! Good luck whatever you decide to do & keep up the good work !

least it not a 4.2 they crack in between 2 and 3 pot

It's a shame after everything you did to it and not restore it bodyworks...agree with you lot to keep it and like rolling resto... Maybe a different colour for refresh view 👍 Good job and if I were you, I keep it...

Hi I'm from Newzeland and I just bought the same car with some small damage.

Amazing work. Given its size and your limited space and your desire to buy and flip cars, I'd sell it in its current condition. You'll make some cash and can free up space for the next project.

Very nice, well.done.

Fair play, well done!

Great job, doing something similar with a 4.0 facelift couple from 1994, my starting point almost £7K……. My next jobs are front suspension,, then paint…..keep your car there great…

sell for the cash

Fantastic job. Well done.

14.05 min this is indeed the correct position of the spare wheel in the XJS 3.6L as I have owned one.

Hi mate , feel free to message me , I have the red xjs for sale on marketplace 😄

Buy the shell and do it after the road trip!

Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

The intro music starts and it is soooo grating!

This is what 'Poor farmers sons' do. Meanwhile in the real world........

Well done young man! Great to see anothe XJS saved.

I would give it to your dad. Too bigger project for your channel. Would take years & cost ££££ to do properly

White mr2 board is something special.... Well done love to see English classics back on the road

Classy. Needs a glamorous blonde in the passenger seat.

Great job! I would do the MOT list. Then you could either sell or restore...

Get it ready for your dads trip and buy the spare shell, then when hes back swap it all over and you've a nearly new old car.

Hi. Came across your channel by chance and decided to subscribe. I love watching these types of affordable restoration projects. Especially when it's one of my favourite jags. One question regarding the tools used. The scissor type lift looks very handy. Especially when you can fold it up and lean against the wall. Very space saving . Would you recommend it, and is there a proper name for it ? Might invest in one 👍👍👍👍

get it as reliable as possible and send it out on the adventure !!

I drove a V12 XJS to Belgium and back a few years ago and it was great fun, such a relaxing drive and great power - a lot of people loved to see it too!

Excellent, if it was mine I'd pile some local miles on, tidy it up without going too deep, and let your dad take it on the trip (maybe with a back-up car in mind just in case something goes awry at the 11th hour). Nothing wafts like an old Jaguar. I ran a S1 XJ12L in my early 20s (looked great parked outside the job centre at the time, early 1990s), wish I'd hung onto that one but space and other projects put paid to that idea. My XJ8 X308 has been something of a project too of late but it's getting there.

Nice one Harry...Great job for under a grand.

Good work - looks great. Would like to see the re-shelling, but perhaps a road trip for CMC Snr would be fun first.

Unfortunately not worth a real resto - best to enjoy it and have fun - And allow your dad to have a road trip 😃

Do restore the car ! I will watch every stepp ! Great car !

audio terrible great channel can u add sub tittles to this video

well done. very impressive work and great video. I think the xjs gets better looking over the years

How did he manage to get a MOT on that, with all that body/ suspension rust and brake line corrosion? In Victoria Australia to get a MOT (RWC) the car is photographed (all sections), documented and all this detail are sent off to a central government body.. Inspection costs from 500-1000 Aus dollars.
