we have had a new arrival come to visit the workshop in the shape of a face lift xj a very clean mint one its visiting to have a rustys lift kit installed so we are going to make an effort to take pics at most if not all the stages so that it can be put up on the web for any one to get an idea of what is involved
in fact i think its probably a good idea to keep a digital camera in the workshop for general jobs anyway like today we are gonna finish making a pair of rock bumpers yesterday we missed the photo op of how to use a football to blow a dent out of a jeep door

MOCAJ · « **Reply #286 on:** February 10, 2008, 09:47:32 PM »

bumpers :wink: and its a bit higher

football, seen the remains :lol:

MOCAJ · « **Reply #288 on:** February 10, 2008, 10:06:52 PM »

we have hit a problem the 8inch roof chop is going ok kinda sorta but we just worked out the owner is over 6ft he might need a roof hatch or cupola to drive it

Dave69 · « **Reply #291 on:** February 16, 2008, 07:44:01 PM »

just have a rag top like the 2cv, you might have to go to a beach to get the vynal striped roof off a deck chair tho'

greggmo · « **Reply #292 on:** February 16, 2008, 11:31:09 PM »

roof chop looks good so far and we have sorted the height problem...... we took the seat out :lol: tomorrow we start on the pink camo job and the lowered springs must be fitted. oh and not to forget the neon's and chrome tailpipe cover 8-)

Bubba · « **Reply #293 on:** March 12, 2008, 10:27:53 PM »

fuckfuck fuckety fuck

greggmo · « **Reply #294 on:** March 12, 2008, 10:38:02 PM »

whats up dood? what ya broke?

JamesH · « **Reply #295 on:** March 12, 2008, 10:50:30 PM »

You know the roof is structural on an XJ don't you??? A roof chop is normally accompanied by a full cage to stop the body flexing and doors not shutting...

Sounds interesting though, got any pics??

Bubba · « **Reply #296 on:** March 12, 2008, 10:55:19 PM »

I guess it wasn't the valve timing then?

Bubba · « **Reply #298 on:** March 13, 2008, 07:46:35 PM »

yup it was but after reseting and doing a compresion test i found a sixty psi loss of compresion on no 5 rather than do a full strip and rush to get back on da road i am gonna fit the warmed rebuilt 360 to it and rebuild the 304 at my leasure

Bubba · « **Reply #299 on:** March 25, 2008, 11:01:10 PM »

update i have had a bizare couple of weeks with my old jeep i will do a full write up with pics when i get the chance but we are now running a warmmed 360 v8 and it sounds very nice indeed a deeper note for sure compared to the 304
