Hi Dave Yes it was that one I was looking at, had a few issues which delayed collection but had it 2 months now. Ive changed the front brakes completely and also fuel lines and bearings , checked over the suspension. Now working on the rear end. Surprisingly only needs a very small patch in the o/s ...

Thanks Steve, think i have most of the bits now. front fitted / changed , got to turn car round and do the back now

Afternoon folks. Ive been dipping in an out of here for a few years now. I was a member of the club back in late 80s-early 90s when i had a type 3 fastback then a 412 variant. Any way i have posted my membership application & money to rejoin. Last weekend i finally got my paws on another 412 LE vari...

Thanks Peter ,

I have most of the bits now meantime , I will rejoin the club too and send in my details , Haynes in hand .

Managed to get the xjs out the garage yesterday and the 412 in so hopefully get started this week

Any ideas re cuts for the rear arches ?

Hi sorry , it’s for a 412 variant. I thought I’d posted in the type 4 section

Hi Im looking at a project just now that will require the usual repairs on the forward parts of the rear wheelarches . Its not too bad but am looking for advice as to the best way to repair. Is there a wing which can be utilised ( probably from another vehicle) with the same profile that I could tak...

I had already checked and presumed the same but you never know if its forgotten in a lock up somewhere . Just sold a tr6 thats been off road since the 80s so you never know
Thanks anyway

Reg was pgu72l
I would maybe buy it back if available .
either that one or may dads one vxa525l last seen in dundee in about 82
May just have to look for another if one is ever available
