Update after 2 months/1500km.
I bought the car in a hurry, needing a replacement
turns out to be only 59 VIN digits out from my White Limited, same color scheme, so thats good for spares & swaps
It has a straight body, paint is reasonable, White
have not had a chance to look at it, let alone work on it, as I had other things on my plate
just in time, I find the trans cooler lines are cracked, bypassed, leaking, all repaired & trans serviced, I dont know think this trans has long life left
has headers with 2" branches into 2-1/2" exhaust, sounds good, and the engine feels noticeably more powerful than the stock exhaust in my black XJ
oil is pissing out o-ring adaptor, onto header joint
ordered trans mount kit, o-rings, harmonic balancer from Rock Auto
fixed various electrical issues
A/C doesnt work, compressor & pipes no good, so it looks like I will have to swap over the parts from the black one, which had good A/C
front suspension needs attention
