A MJ build.. The story of a dead XJ

[WiscoXJ]

[WiscoXJ]

Got my gauges back together. Odometers matching. Modified the fuel gauge... we'll see if it works.... if it does ill tell everyone what I did ha

ha

 

[sandsgg]

Which one was that?

 

[WiscoXJ]

I don't remember exactly what season it was but they smashed james' grand piano, Jeremy's drum set, and oliver lol it was a cheap car challenge

 

[sandsgg]

I seem to recall that being the Lory challenge. If I remember correctly, the piano and drums got smashed but Hammond forfeited that round so he wouldn't hurt Oliver

 

[WiscoXJ]

maybe that's it.. lol

This is correct. It was the hill start challenge.

Yup that's it, I thought I had missed one. Sad about it pretty much being done now

 

[WiscoXJ]

Here are some photos finally of what all is done so far. Need to bleed the brakes and install the shocks then test drive time. Brake lights aren't working but thatll be easy enough to figure out

 

[WiscoXJ]

Thank man! having a small issue with it though. dies every time I put it in drive. pulled the TB and IAC to clean them. I think im just going to put a new IAC in it to be safe. its shifting super hard too, but I never adjusted the throttle cable. such a weird feeling driving it since I bought it 4 months ago and it wasn't running
