Hello!
Hello everyone. I'm Mitch from Oklahoma. I guess I should give a little background on how I have arrived here.
I have watched the insurance auction pool for wrecked cars to play with. Last August, I found a 1995 XJ6 in Oklahoma City that had been hit in front. I had intended to go take a look at it, but realized the auction was that day! There were no other bids (should have been an indicator), and I quickly won the car. I found out the mistake I had made when I went to pick it up. As well as the accident damage, the interior was complete trash. It has been sitting in a storage parking space while I've been trying to figure a way out.
Another came up for auction a couple of weeks ago. The damage was a burn in the engine compartment. Hey Hey! I have one with all of the things to repair that! Went to look at it before bidding, and all is good. There are a few minor areas that I will need to address, but overall my latest purchase is in very good condition.
I am quite sure I will be spending a lot of time here searching past posts and picking your brains to get my Jag up and running.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch

Hello Mitch,
More damage to your project car than anticipated?
I can relate to that! But that just means you will learn more in the restoration process.
Best of luck to you!
