    Hi and welcome to the Club and Forum.

    Tackling a subframe replacement is not a job for the faint-hearted so well done with that and all the other bits you are tackling.

    The Club is going through some major changes at the moment so if things are a bit delayed, please bear with us - we'll get there eventually.

    Hope to meet you at a future event - with or without your cat Smile

    Cheers

    Have just signed up to the forum.

    I have an 4.0L 1991 XJS Facelift which I have owned since 2001. It used to be my daily driver until the end of 2005 when I pulled it off the road to replace the front sub frame and suspension. The rust and the knocking noises when going over speed bumps just got too much.

    Anyway I did the job myself, at home, out on the drive and a few others after that. As I needed a second car during this time to get around, my Jag became more of a spare car and I started thinking of it as a classic rather than the daily driver I was starting to take for granted!

    I love the car and am hoping to get the 'A' frames and windscreen surrounds rebuilt in the summer as more corrosion has taken hold. I will be budgeting to have the work carried out by a garage, though I do have a mig welder now, which I am trying to teach myself to use.

    F.
