In it's place is a brand new 2017 Subaru WRX. Let me tell you, this thing is scary fast and I've been taking it easy to break in the engine! Wow! What a different car than the Jag!
Here are some pictures:

As for the XJ-6, I sent a full day Sunday working on a rewire of all the relays. I first marked each wire and cut then so that I had a matching number on each end. Then I pulled the two banks 6of relays out and started mounting them under the dash pad. I have a good area to mount them, so I started with the heater relays, moved to the two wiper relays, then the side-markers, headlights, transmission lockout, rear window defroster and auxiliary. Two good things came of this rewire. All but one relay are under the dash pad, and I removed a hole much of splices that could have worked lose and caused a failure. I even ended up removing a great deal of extra wire because it no longer had to run down to the switches, but just up to a relay.
The last part of the day I spent rewiring the switches into the system. I didn't finish it yesterday because I was getting tired and my back started to hurt. So I called it a day with just the fuel select switch to wire and some grounds/hot from ignition to figure out. After those are done, I need to retest everything, but if it works, then I can button everything back up and call it good.
