Now I'd bought the manual Sovereign I didn't really have adequate space for the 3.2 Sov, or the time to spend on her so she had to depart and is now gone. Unfortunately I didn't make anything but I at least got back most of what I paid.
I've not had much of chance to work on the manual Sov recently, I spent some time over the weekend treating the Golf GT TDI to an engine oil and filter change and a new air filter. I have had the chance to do a bit of work on the door cards though.
I recently fitted new Alpine speakers to the XJR door cards that I'm going to be fitting, I've started soldering on the correct connectors to these having removed the connector and wiring from the Sovereign door cards. To fit the XJR cards I'll need to fit the mounting brackets (see picture) fortunately the doors on the Sov have pre-drilled holes to fit these so I just need to find some suitably sized self tapers to hold the brackets on. The other fixing appear to be the same so the 'R cards should go on easily.
The drivers electric window doesn't work and the passenger side is intermittant, I'm hoping it was just a fault with the switches and that the they'll leap into life with the fitment of the replacement switches in the XJR door cards. If they don't I'll have to assume that there's a problem at the electric motor end of things.

Any plans for the dynamat?
Along with the lovely Autolux leather (which is miles nicer in itself) the Daimler style door trims used on the XJR are vastly better than the Sovereign ones. Pre battery in boot Sov door trims are (dare i say it!!) a bit grim! :D
It is going to look great - similar in many ways to your original XJR, and entirely accidental!

Thanks David, it's coming along slowly but surely. Just bought a riveter to attach these brackets so should have the door cards on soon :)
