welcome to the forum - editing of your own posts is limited to a short time period - I believe 30minutes - after that one of the moderators or admin can edit. I have fixed yours


Enjoy the Jag and the forum

Looking good.

Modern Jaguars don't have the corrosion problems of old but one area that is susceptible on them is where the lower edge of the wheelarches (front and rear) meet the sill. Worth getting that build up of mud hosed out and checking the paint on the edges is sound.

Thanks Graham.

When I paid the deposit we had it up on ramps and it looks really good. But I'll give her a good clean at the weekend to be sure. I also have a tame body shop guy coming over the weekend to quote for a couple of dings (just the usual 12 years of wear and tear)
