I think focusinprogess is looking for a Jaguar x-type. Good luck and hope things work out for you, seriously! [http://www.andysautopartsny.com/](http://www.andysautopartsny.com/) \<— They show up as having a X-type Manual tranny for $975 maybe they have the diff you need also. ---

i know if this goes all as planned and isnt too difficult, you plan on makeing more and selling as a kit. thats why i think you should still look around to see if theres some thing else you could use. you should try and find something that would be more common to find and cheaper. unless you dont care anymore and just want to do it to do it. ---

well, if it all goes as planned…the kit i sell i will sell minus the tranny/diffs. that way, they have the choice of junkyard jag parts or brand new from the dealer. ---

bumping this thread. does anyone know police auction schedules? i would like to snag a shell over winter and get this project rolling. i have since tossed around the idea of using the v6 as well…and twin charging it with a procharger kit modified with a large t3 based turbo. if i can get a parts car now that i have a s10 DD, i may part out all of my focus stuff as well as the parts car minus drivetrain…and go with the N/a v6 AWD for a season maybe with spray. ---

Dealers license FTW. ---
