I have an 85 2.5L, auto XJ just sitting in my yard. It runs, drives, has near new tires on it. Can't seem to get rid of it.....

Any Ideas?

I could use it as a parts-donnor for my 1984 Chief!

No seriously, you could make a nice truck out of it! Have a look at mine. Of course, with XJs being so popular in USA, it doesn't pay to improve that old one, but still, if it is alive, why not?
