Default New guy on the lookout in StL, MO

Hey everyone! My name's Micheal and I've been wrenching since my thumbs came in. Recently had to sell all my fun rides to fund my divorce and my venture into real estate. (pictured) I've been drywalling, taping, and painting for 21 years, so I've been doing light remodeling work while also helping people buy and sell homes.
I'm finally to the point where my ol' Jeep Cherokee is turning into a construction vehicle, and I need a nice daily for showing homes and my kids. Keeping an eye out for an XJ8, I've always loved them. I've heard they've got some unique issues, and I'm looking forward to learning everything about them that I can. (As I do with every project of mine)

72 Skylark with a Chevy 355, fuel injected 4 speed
02 320C (sold with only 88k miles, pristine)
06 Harley V-Rod (Street Rod VRSCR for those familiar) This one I bought running, stripped it down to nuts and bolts. Built a 1318 Big Bore with Nitrous (I'm not getting into everything I did in that engine, but the only thing stock was the crank). 165 horse, and I ran a 10.9 at the track missing every shift and tenderfooting the launch so it didn't fly out from under me. This one sold in the Netherlands and hopefully the new owner is better at hitting those shifts haha.

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know the community here!
