XJ / HREW / OT ?

[IntrepidXJ]

So, what do you think I should do with the front of my XJ?

1. Replace the header panel and fenders so it still looks kinda like an XJ?

2. Remove header panel and fenders and then tube out the front?

3. Go OT style and just remove the fenders and header panel?



Not sure what I'm gonna do, but thought it would be fun to see what you guys think. In the end, I'll make my own decision and probably won;t use this poll anyways :roll:

I think it looks fine how it sits.
But, some tube structure to protect the radiator is important, which is something I need to do.

 

[BrettM]

I would do it like Paul S or Dave Taylor

 

[Roxtar]

Replace them.
Your rig still looks decent. Keep it that way as long as reasonably possible.

If ya want, I can get good prices on body panels.

we did Ron's front tube work like this -

but I would rather have seen him keep the fenders...

the front bar hangs too low - but is about the only part Id consider re-doing...

Keep the grill whatever you do...

you could put sheetmetal over that tube and make it look OK, like FarmerMatt did with the sheetmetal fenders on the cat.

What side and year?

 

[Kittrell]

I'd do it like Richard.

 

[What Rd]

I pre-ran yesterday.

Which? (or both?)

 

[seanR]

I can get Chinese fenders for around $45.00 each and I can get the front header panel for $90.00.

Both Brad and Eric have used these parts and seem ok with them.

 

[OT]

Well, if they don't look like ass, then I can't use them.

 

[ILLXJ]

Well, if they don't look like ass, then I can't use them.

If you put them on, they would within in a day. So whats the difference? JIM.
