Apart from that drives like a new car...new suspension, engine mount, gearbox mount and assorted rubber bits does that though 
...oh and the parts for a manual conversion would be nice |
Yeah mine used to sound like a rattling mess for the first 10 years, then a simple d-link bush was replaced without me even asking as it was so stuffed, and that fixed all the front end rattles. Diff bushes are still 100% (original), can back off or re-engage harshly and there is no thud.

I was thinking, buy another XR6 that is not as tidy as yours but rust free, then swap all of your good stuff off the rusty one onto the non-rusty one.

There's an ST XR6 i'm going to look at in the next week, Blueprint. I had that colour XR8 AUIII for a few years, and whilst I never really loved the way it drove, it looked spectacular.
