The xj600 finally finished

Well the last of the bits went on my first project today, still a little fettling to do

But heres how she was





And here she is today













So thats one down, 2 turbo's to go, she'll get one final polishing of brightwork, tank stripped and lined and general check then off to ebay

What ye think?

 

nice job!

 

Yes, Great job. I am so jealous having sold mine last year - and finding that I havn't got enough cash to buy another.

Google shows you to be a little under 700 miles away from me.

When exactly is it going on ebay.....?

 

Hopefully by end of week once tank is cleaned and lined, and have new indicators for front, new oil etc, i have one fork seal to do depending on time,

Another matching fairing is on its way, that ones scratched either side, so being fussy i want it good as i can get it

I doubt will fetch much, they never do, was just a bit of fun over summer

 

Her list is as follows

Replaced engine with younger lower mileage one 25k
Clocks read 48k but kept original engine for spares
Only swapped cause of mileage and a broken exhaust stud

NOS polished footrest hangers
NOS rear grabrail
Polished fork brace,sprocket cover, genny cover, oil pump cover, rocker cover
Pods installed
Replaced exhaust, recoated headers, (PJ1 great stuff)
Replaced all bodywork with original,
Repainted frame, hammerite, was before had sandblaster and compressor but not great but no rust
Braided lines front and back
New friction plates
Complete service

Much more like greasing parts etc, so it's good as it can be
