I BOUGHT THIS JAG FROM A MAN THAT HAD PUT IT IN STORAGE AFTER 3,000 MILES ON A $5700.00 OVERHAUL ON THE ENGINE.HE WENT OVERSEA'S TO WORK INTENDING TO HAVE THE CAR SHIPPED TO HIM WITHIN A FEW MONTHS,WELL THE FEW MONTHS TURNED IN TO 5 YEARS,HE KEPT HIS STORAGE PAYED UP BUT FINALLY TOLD THE STORAGE OWNER TO SELL IT,I WANTED THE PAPERWORK ON THE OVERHAUL,THE OWNER COULD NOT FIND IT,THE CAR HAD BEEN IN OUTSIDE STORAGE FOR 5 YEARS SO THERE IS SURFACE RUST,THE WORSE IS ON THE ROOF,THE INTEROR,CARPET GOOD,DOOR PANELS GOOD,POWER WINDOWS WORK AS THEY SHOULD,SEATS ARE STARTING TO COME APART AT THE SEAMS AND THE HEADLINER IS STARTING TO FALL.WHEN I WENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR,WITH OUT THERE BEING ANY PAPERWORK ON THE OVERHAUL I COULD NOT TAKE THIS AS BEING TRUE SO I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS,OIL TRANS. POWER STEERING AND BRAKE FLUID.THE OIL WAS VERY CLEAN,THE TRANS FLUID LOOKED LIKE NEW AS DID THE POWER STEERING FLUID,THE BRAKE FLUID WAS A LITTLE DIRTY BUT NOT BAD.I PUT A BATTERY IN IT JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD TURN OVER AND IT DID VERY WELL SO I BOUGHT IT,THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOT THIS CAR RUNNING.I AM A 63 YEAR OLD MAN AND I ALL WAYS HAVE A PROJECT LIKE THIS GOING ON BUT THIS ONE I THINK I AM GOING TO GIVE UP ON,I HAVE P.A.D. OF THE LEGS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE AND MY HOBBY OF RESTOREING CLASSIC'S COULD BE COMEING TO AN END.WHAT I HAVE DONE TO THE CAR SINCE I GOT IT,DRANED FUEL TANK,NEW FUEL FILTER,NEW FUEL PUMP,NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY,REBUILT FUEL CONTROL CONPUTER,NEW BATTERY,REBUILD FUEL RAIL,NEW PLUGS,DISTRIBUTOR CAP,IGNITION PICK-UP MODULE,ONE NEW COIL,NEW IGNITION AMPLIFIER($250.)NEW STARTER($200.)FUEL INJECTION MODULE AND I ALSO HAVE A REPAIR MANUAL FOR THIS CAR BUT ITS NOT MUCH HELP,YOU NEED TESTING EQUIPMENT TO WORK ON THESE DAM THINGS.I HAD TO PULLTHE EXHAUST OFF OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR TO GET THE NEW STARTER ON IT AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE CAR TO PUT IT BACK ON,I WILL TRY TO GET IT BACK ON BEFORE THIS LISTING ENDS.A JAG TECK TOLD ME THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS COULD BE BLOCKED AND THATS KEEPING IT FROM STARTING ANYWAY I AM FINISHED WITH IT,THIS WOULD BE A EASY RESTORE OR A GOLD MINE OF PARTS,BIDDERS WITH 0 FEEDBACK NEED NOT BID.On Aug-26-10 at 15:41:35 PDT, seller added the following information: I WAS READING MY LISTING AND I DID NOT MENTION THAT THERE IS SOME RUSTED THREW PLACES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR,MAYBE A 6X9 INCH HOLE AND ALSO THE WHEELWELL BOTTOM IN THE TRUNK IS RUSTED THREW BUT BOTH OF THESE PLACES ARE VERY EASY REPAIRS AND THE REST OF THE UNDERCARAGE IS SOLID,THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT,ALSO THE TIRES WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED,DRY ROT,I ALSO PUT NEW HOOD SOPPORT STRUDS ON IT.THATS EVERY THING I CAN THINK OF ABOUT THE CAR THAT I CAN TELL YOU,LIKE I SAID THERE IS SURFACE RUST,SEE THE PICTURES.On Aug-28-10 at 06:41:38 PDT, seller added the following information: THAT PICTURE OF THE FRONT OF THIS CAR IS NOT VERY GOOD BUT BOTH FOG LIGHTS ARE THERE,THE ONE ONE THE LEFT HAS A BLACK PLASTIC COVER OVER THE LENCE,THERE IS A COVER FOR THE ONE YOU CAN SEE LAYING AROUND THERE SOME WHERE,LIGHTS ON THE CAR,FRONT AND BACK WORK AS THEY SHOULD
