That’s very good going!

Not knowing the Lexus setup in any greater detail, is there a particular reason why you are using the Jag suspension instead of the Lexus?

The jag suspension is proven and is the right dimentions for the F100 , using the front and rear As they are mounted on sub frames that are an easy swap over

Well, sounds like you at least have a big pile of stuff to throw at it in the New Year!!

What is it that you need a lhd XJS for specifically?

 

[Zagamuffin]

looking for a steering rack...for the 80s Jag

If you're after a LHD Jag box look at US eBay and nearby European Countries.

Google is your friend.

There should be heaps of them available.
