Dream car = achieved. A little rough around the edges but whatever. Video coming this weekend maybe. Don’t worry about the wheels, I have stockers in the trunk that are getting tires tonight. I’ve already had a cop wave at me out his window, a kid in a Cobalt say he loved my car, and an old guy at the gas station start reminiscing about his. Fuck yeah.

We all think the cars you acquire can’t get any more unreliable, then you go and buy an XJS.

I don’t think your username has ever been more apt than it is at this moment. Carry on, good sir.

Those wheels on it look a bit like those on my ‘97 SHO (hated them). And I believe it was David E. Davis who said about this car that the wiring was made of moonbeams, cobwebs, and wishes.

Keep us informed.

You haven’t seen the wiring on my Mustang, have you? Bosch is a welcome relief from Hillbilly Rewiring Inc.

Indeed. It makes many cammy lublublublublub sounds.

It does, thanks to the blasphemous Chevy 350 under the hood bonnet.

This is a car I would hope you don’t take a roller too, best bet would be to get a gun for your compressor and use some nice quality paint (if even single stage)

The Jag was modified for survival. Congrats and safe motoring!

Wow, you actually did it! Cool. Love the growler on the hubs of the stock wheels.

I kinda love how Jag went complete boy racer with the wing.

That’s a stock wing?

Damn this is really making me want to get back into something old and funky. Much though I love how the MG F drives, it does seem like just another car on the road. Driving the XJ40 made you feel like a boss :)
