Ah really create this post so MGman could get to see the updates on the project, Wink

But everybody welcome to look and offer suggestion if they want.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project is a complete restoration right down to metal. Body was sand blasted and painted with PPG Epoxy primer to protect the metal.

Original 3.4 Engine will be reused as well as Original Transmission Sad
Yeah I wanted to go manual but that would encourage me to Drive it too hard and I don't want to crash this car after a spend soo much time on it.

Upgrades will include:
1.) Electronic Ignition
2.) Rev Limiter
3.) Modern Rack and Pinion Steering
4.) Uprated Brake Booster (XJ12 Calipers 4 piston front, 2 piston rear)
5.) Rear Coil Spring Conversion
6.) Modified Interior with Navigation, Electric Seats, etc
7.) 18 Chrome Wheels, (Nothing too fanny)

Haven't Decided yet but might go with a Black Paint Job because this car have plenty Chrome on it.
