Took the time to do a better washing of the E28 today. Still too hot to spend the multiple hours needed for a full Svend-ing, but this was more thorough than last time. It is garaged full time, and I haven’t driven it in rain yet, so it wasn’t that dirty.
This one is the auto-stylized by Google photos. The blue in real life is not nearly that bright, but I liked how it came out.
Here is the original. I feel like the blue in real life is somewhere in between.
Also, found more than sur face rust on the bottom of the rear passenger door. Doesn’t look bad enough to need replacement, but I need to get it sorted soon.
I r eplaced the clutch slave cylinder two weeks ago (still need to do a better job remembering to take pictures) . Ended up needing a pressure bleeder to get it working properly, but it was a pretty easy job, plus now I have a pressure bleeder!
When I went to take it for a drive yesterday it sounded really raspy until it warmed all the way up. Pulled back into the garage and figured out it was coming from the cat. No idea how old it is, but in Texas I’m not required to have one, so that one won’t stay on much longer. I may get a new generic one installed, since I’m not looking for absolute peak power.

I love a classic or modern-classic car that is looked after.
Others like them modded, stanced, lifted, massive stereo system, etc... But respecting a vehicle is more to me and she looks a beauty.

GIB NOW. I love both my 85 Jaguar and any nice clean original e28. I find it interesting that though very different cars there are a number of styling cues they have in common - the hockey stick C-pillars, the shark nose, 4 headlights, generally long straight or gently curved horizontal lines.

Thanks. I’ve always loved that way the hood on those Jags curved down around the headlights.
