    If you are going to remove any stock parts let me know and maybe post a few pics of what the bike looks like now.

    post pics of her current state. She's among the rarest of XJs, and may be worth restoring.

    IMHO these do not make good scrambler projects - you'll neen a new binnacle, headlight, tank, seat, and the tail and shaft drive will stick out like a sore thumb...
    Why not make it into a naked front, new headlight and clocks from a 650 or modern new custom kits all you need?

    Yeah those are the best looking XJ IMO. I like those wheels too. Tank looks decent, easy to pull out that big dent.
    Have a go.

    OP was Nov 12 2020.
    I suspect it's been resolved by now.

    Oh, I missed that...... usually I check dates all the time, too:oops:

    and since he hasn’t been seen in almost 4 yrs, you’re probably right.
