How can I fix my XJ's rusty bulkhead?
I have a jaguar XK (1995 model) with 80,000 miles in the clock. It runs like new, but my local garage says the bulkhead is rusting. How can I fix this and how much will it cost?

A rusting bulkhead is the most difficult part of a monocoque constructed car to repair. To do the job properly, which will involve tearing down most of the car, will cost at least £10,000. Just not worth it.
