i managed to drive her out of the garage tonight and fit the passenger door, i fitted the drivers door last night,
shame they aint white, lol

anywho, she is ready to transport to my new home now,

i even managed to connect the electrics for the doors and get the windows working, as well as the sunroof,

i did however forget that the power steering system had been drained when the main radiator was replaced ( it cooled the fluid, as well as the water ) , so i filled that up tonight and gave it a few ' lock-to-lock ' turns to make sure it was full,

all the panels below ( and around ) the headlight holes are new, the wings and doors are from donor vehicles,
so far i think my XJS is made up of about 20 cars, lol
i plan to have her back on the road in the spring ready for next summer, in the mean-time i'm gona buy a 3.6 XJS runner to mess around in,

this one is a 5.3ltr V12 :)
