Part 15 - Heart and Lung Transplant.......

So Tis the night before thanksgiving, a good time to be reflective...........


As is usual things have a funny way of happening. The oil pressure thing has been bugging me latley - should I pull the motor and replace the oil pump?

If I do what else will I find?

Supposing she has crabs?

Well during a Craigslist scour & search I found an 86 XJ6 series III - has 130,000 miles but engine was completley rebuilt 10,500 ago - and the price is right..... it would yield a front suspension upgrade, a motor, the 86 IS the best of engines, best power/torque figures least prone to block cracks , rear differential and 5 stud front and rear hubs to go with the 4 spiffy alloys

I bought off EBay for $150 - YES $150!!! ( You have to love a mispelled listing - no other bidders!!!) anyway - I'm going to pop off and see the car tomorrow...... you never know I may have to get it into the lab, Stay Tuned......







Look for pictures of the car next time....and my new steering wheel............
