Lol, well quoted.
Got some better pics, new lattice wheels should be this week and exhaust top end needs sorting (hopefully just a gasket but could be a cracked manifold :( )
Oh and the battery is not charging and the alternator does not run the engine....
But dont worry The A/C still works :D I would cry if I was not laughing. (I should have gone for the 328i convertible that needed no work at all but it will be worth it in the end)

She looks good
Thats about all she does at the moment :D
Lol i hope it costs less than £10k to sort :P
Just got teh classic and already feeling the burn :P
New problem found as well, coolant is brown.
It doesnt smell of oil though so its probably just a rusted water system.
Update,
Just changed all the belts today and sorted out a few wires and the battery is charging like normal :)
Power is again brilliant when the car is running off the alternator again and puts a massive grin on my face when slamming the auto box down to the "1st" gear.
Just tapped the gas pedal not even 1/8th and got a nice rear wheel drift in the car park :D
Although I connected a sensor that sits over the brake fluid bottle and now im getting a "BRAKE" warning light on the dash.
Brakes are more than perfect though for a car weighing lol ton so I think its another loose wire or bad circut somewhere.
The XJS wont be ready for i37 most likley :(
New brake master cylinder £400 later although it is now perfect the stuff just needs fitting, the exhaust just needed new o rings/gaskets manifold was fine.
I'll borrow a car from somewhere as the galaxy has a sticky turbo unit atm and Im not driving that fucking 106 :D
Mite be a tad cramped in the 106 :D
Just tried borrowing a car from my uncle but his company insurance only covers for 21+ :(
would have been awesome though, "all we have in stock is a couple of two seater ferrrari's I hope thats ok" :D
Where would you put the PC though Giles?
You and Gary would need one each :p.
I would leave my pc at home gadly....
I currently have no car at all avaliable that will get mine and garys stuff there, my best bet atm is if he finishes the XJS early friday :(
Its just fucking crazy that the galaxy has decided to pull a sick day when I need it.
Update:
Currently wating for a good quote on head skimming and head gasket fitting and radiator recore, otherwise I will be selling it/using for parts.
(Getting so many different quotes for places £250-£1200)
Looking at a 1990's XJRS 6.0 V12 and a 1998 XJR 4.0l supercharged V8 (370bhp 4 door saloon with a 5 second 0-60)
The XJS is crying not to be put down and looking really nice and having the bodywork exceptional should make it fairly valuable as a project vehicle :(

Finally selling/scrapping our ford galaxy very soon as well, the parents are replacing it with a nice black 2001 4.6l V8 P38 range rover to pull the horse trailer/use as a family car so at least I will have something decent to drive in the meantime of all of this.
The prius family down the road can burn in exhaust emmisions :D
Just placing shit here so I dont forget when the time comes,
