BTW, yesterday I noticed that my daughter's 95 XJ, 4.0, has a crack in the exhaust manifold where the 2 pipes meet. Can this be welded???? Please say yes!!!! - - -Don _________________________________________________________________ Store, manage and share up to 5GB with Windows Live SkyDrive. http://skydrive.live.com/welcome.aspx?provision=1?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_skydrive_ 102008 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:59:49 -0700 From: Jim Blair Subject: [none] John has changed his mind so many times he might be back to the original one! My own Internet ramblings only go back as far as '96. Before that I just worked on cars rather than spend so much time on the net (lack of a shop has slowed me up since I sold my house) I've been working so much the past few months since I moved to a shop closer to home (trying to run a 6 man autoparts store with only 3 employees 7 days a week is NUTS!) that I haven't had as much time to spend on the net. Hoping to sell my film of building an underground house/shop idea to Channel 9 or someone to subsidize the build.

I either need a stronger cup of coffee or a nap... did I just mention exercise? ;) _________________________________________________________________ You live life beyond your PC.
