Cool New Member.... My 1st Jaguar (89 XJS convertible)

Hello everyone,
Got this Jaguar as a partial trade for one of my old street rods..... so far I love how it drives and the looks it gets.
It is far from perfect so pretty sure I will be needing some advise as I get further into trying to make things work !!!!!!
It has a Chevy 350 transplant that runs perfect..... the car has been stored in "less than perfect" conditions for an unknown number of years, so it's a little rough around the edges and some electrical issues to figure out..... but the look and drive make it worth some TLC to me

John

What a Beautiful car!!
Some people take exception to Chevy powered Jaguars but I'm not one of them. In fact, if my Jaguar had still been powered by the original 6-banger it would never have become mine.
