So my main question here is where is the best place to source parts, motors etc in Australia. Now my family has been in the mechanical industry for years so i know all the usual places but i am just wondering what you guys recommend. Also does anyone know a place i could source a drivers seat from in Tan Leather as mine is pretty much broken.
Thanks in advance

XJ Cherokee are fairly common in auto wreckers, there is at least one specialist in SE Qld, contact your local one, drivers seats are never great at this age though, plenty of "private" wreckers on Gumtree and this site.
simple motor to replace head gasket on, so long as the head isnt cracked, even then, another head would probably be easier...old-fangled iron I6, no OH
cam, so much nicer than alloy V6 quad cam come head gasket time
entire unreg XJ, good motor etc etc, are available on Gumtree, Ebay and the going price would be ~$1000
wrecker engines on ebay ~$400 to $1000+
