Hey y'all, I've had my Jag for about 8 yrs and do my own work on it (at least if time permits). I've rebuilt the front end completely and some cosmetic stuff. I have my seats to be redone (I won't be doing that) and the rear end is next (to include differential).
I love my paint scheme (Jag racing green w/blue pearl underlay), creates head turning double takes as the sun sets and it turns purple and black as it goes by.
Other things to be done, refinish the Penta rims, upgrade the stereo and get a new armrest (or refinish this one) on the drivers door. I also need to research why my supercharger doesn't seem to be consistent? She runs like a scalded dog one time and lays there like a sleepy one the next. I may even consider lowering it 1.25" to make a crawler out of it???
I look forward to seeing y'all on the boards and appreciate your suggestions and feedback.

Welcome to the forum Highhorse,

Looking forward to seeing pics.

Follow Steve's link to the X308 tech section for help, advice and information. That's the section to check for the S/C issue.

Enjoy the forum.

Appreciate the welcome and direction given on the forums. I'll try to get y'all some pics asap, but being a contractor I'm on a job site, so please be patient.
Five Speed ...you'll love the paint, its factory special and on the long VDP body, its beautiful.
