The body needs to be bolted, the exhaust needs a section repaired, lights/wiring needs to be finished, front seats need to be upholstered and the rear seats have a couple spots that need to be repaired, fuel tank needs to be installed, needs new clutch master/slave cylinder, rear door panel needed, brake calipers need to be installed, headliner needs to be installed"

  This is my personal D90 I have been restoring. It is being built from the frame up and is about 90% done. Will be a great truck for someone willing to put in that last bit of work.

Chassis:
  It has a galvanized chassis(D90 300 Tdi spec), 2" Terrafirma suspension and steering damper, 24 spline axles with disc brakes, power brakes, power steering, genuine Boost alloy wheels(5), 255/85R16E(33.3x10"10 Ply) BFG MT KM2's(5), 300 Tdi 4 cylinder direct injected inter-cooled and turbocharged diesel engine(up to 28mpg in a D90), R380 56A suffix J 5 speed manual transmission, LT230 2 speed transfer case with factory cross drilled input shaft.
Body:
  It has a D90 Station Wagon body; it's solid, only a few spots of surface corrosion noted in the pics; it has and inexpensive flat black paint job, I like it, but if you're looking for a factory paint job it will need to be painted; full frame front doors with wind up windows, push button handles, D90 door panels; full frame rear door with heated rear window, washer and wiper, spare mount, but no rear door panel; both solid and folding front windshield hinges; alloy roof and sides with lockable sliding glass windows; full LeSalle molded fiber glass headliner front and rear with section for stereo and speakers; silver grill and facia; front bucket seats; center console/cubby box/arm rest and a UK center front seat(either can be fitted); all front seats need upholstery; 4 rear jump seats; lap and shoulder belts for the front bucket seats, lap belts for all the rest; factory insulation under the hood, on the firewall, and under the transmission tunnel;
What I know is needed:
  Finish bolting the body together; finish hooking up the lights/wiring; repair section of exhaust and install it; either the clutch master or slave cylinder needs to be replaced; I was also going to replace the head gasket, manifold gasket, and timing belt just to be safe;
  I have almost 200 pictures of the full restoration process as well, so let me know if you'd like to see more, or if you'd like to come see it. It has basically everything, just "some assembly required." 
  It is sold As-Is, with no warranty. It is also listed for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer responsible for shipping or pick up. $1,000 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder due within 7 days. Feel free to ask any questions, or make an appointment to check it out, but please don't bid unless you are going to buy it. Thanks!

All Jaguars and Land Rovers to get diesel engines... almost

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Virtually all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles – except the F-Type sports car – will get a diesel engine option in the next three years, the company confirmed Sunday night at an event before the Detroit Auto Show. The aggressive blitz begins this fall, when the 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will launch with available turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. They will push out 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, while returning fuel economy of up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined rating in city and highway driving will be 25 mpg. The Rovers will be followed in 2016 by the XE sedan and F-Pace crossover, which will offer the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines, in addition to gasoline units. The diesel-powered XE is expected to get at least 40 mpg on the highway, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt said. The oil-burners are expected to offer 20-to-30 percent improvements in fuel economy compared with gasoline engines, depending on the vehicle. JLR's announcement comes as gasoline prices have plummeted in the United States, and regular fuel costs about $1 less than a gallon of diesel, according to AAA research. Still, the company is taking the long view, and Eberhardt said diesel engines offer greater performance and range than other options. JLR expects about 20 percent of its customers will opt for diesel engines. "We strongly believe this is what our customers will want, regardless of the fluctuations in gas prices," he said.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
