That clear is weird for sure !!

When i load my car on trailer to take to the drags, i put some standard size tyres in both front corners of trailer, then run car tyres up to those ones and strap it on...
It makes car sit fairly level on trailer, with adequate weight on towball and much much better to tow... If i had my car on trailer like that i would get the speed wobbles... Set-up the way i have it, it will tow very well, even at 130 Kph no problems(just quietly)...

Good luck with your purchase !!

I know. It was dark, I was cold and me poor ol' XJ sat on it's arse all the way home.

BUT, the exhaust doesn't hit the diff any more LOL.....
I'll have to climb under and make sure no damage has been done...

It wasn't an ideal tow but there was more to it than a simple "put her on the trailer n go".

Heaps of stuffin around at the house, flat tyre etc which was supposed to have been fixed before we arrived. The XJ had no battery, so when I put it on the trailer ol' mate said see ya later, so I had no one for a jump start to move it on the trailer. His house is 1.5 klm from the road. And the road is only a single lane dirt road.

All ended well though and it traveled..........o...k..
Did I mention the exhaust??

It's let go of the base coat and stayed in one piece. Normally, or from what I've seen, the clear coat will crazy crack/crows foot, or peal off in pieces.

Matters not as it'll be getting a coat of paint. Just thought I'd share...

Glad it went well mate !!
Gotta luv it when the promised help never eventuates

A mate and myself went virtually from one end of our state to the other, to have a look at
a 770 Charger that was told would not take too much to get going even though it had not
been going for 3 years, so he got a day permit to drive it back...

Long story short, we were gob smacked when we found the car, because there was no way
we were driving it anywhere...1; is because the fuel hose onto fuel pump had deteriorated that
much it had fallen off the pump... 2; these pics will
give a clue to what the advertised pics did'nt show, which became very evident around the whole car !!
1; advertised pic
