Though not much used, this car has all the usual rust areas	Not often one sees this badge on Series 3!	A normal-looking Series 3 XJ12 in Platinum - a Q car except for the mascot and OZ wheels. But undet that bonnet is a 7 litre, 500bhp V12....	Rear arches have been rolled to make room for the wheels, but there are still clearance problems. We'll be recommending wheels that actually fit!	Big AP Racing front brake discs with 6 pot callipers
Front suspension removed. Wheel arch not too bad, but rear spalshguard has been crudely flattened to make room for oversized tyres.	Rear suspension out. Usual rot here and there.	Front subframe stripped. In reasonable condition. Will now be shotblasted, zinc coated and then satin black coated. Rather better than Coventry's efforts!	Rear subframe stripped. The rear discs are special - vented and have customised callipers.	Rear suspension rebuilt. Note new AP Racing brake discs - heavy duty!
.. and being installed in the car. Note re-undersealed wheel well.	Severe rot in floor pan about to be repaired	... and now repaired. Sorry picture is blurred - David Bailey was out that day!	Underside being re-undersealed after preparation, by Workshop Manager Dave.	Rebuilt front suspension in place. Dust is left over from partial respray.
