Hi All - I'm new to this site but not to Jags. Right now I've got a US spec 1973 Series 1 XJ6 that's a little worse for wear but well loved.

Recent upgrades and issues:

• Charging system switched to GM CS 130D 110amp unit.
• Radiator switched to all aluminum Mustang Cobra unit - works and fits very well. Great upgrade
• Thermostatic fan removed and replaced with Flex-a-lite electronic system
• Stake-down kit installed on exhaust side
• Cam follower clearances adjusted
• Just had alot of fun with the BW Model 12 Tranny filter screen breaking apart and clogging the valve body - good to go now after alot of diagnosis and lying under the car staring blankly
• Door woods refinished - 10 coats of spar urethane... nice

Things to come:

• I have a set of triple SU's off of a MK X sitting in my living room right now that my GF is dying for me to install
• Finally sourced the correct clutch pedal from the UK - 5 speed mod in the works.

Would love to find a local Jaguar organization or club in Essex or Bergen county.

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Great Intro - let's see some pics.

Can't think of a better living room ornament than a set of polished triple SU's. GF is just being unreasonable!

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Good to have you with us.
I think encouragement from the GF is a wonderful thing. (unless it involves fighting outside a pub.)

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Thanks for the welcome! I think the GF's encouragement definitely stems more from her desire to have one less Jaguar part inside the house than selfless support of my British car lifestyle!
